Curious as to why you think it will be an important off season? Fletcher couldn't build Minnesota into a contender in 9 years.

Well maybe Fletcher will build one here within 9 years, it would still be faster than Hextall could! ;-)

Not sure about Prospect pool but I would expect a 1st, Prospect and likely Kerfoot as a return.

When I say the Flyers really need to hit on a Giroux deal. I’m talking the best fit for the Flyers. For example. I think the Kings believe they can win. I’m starting with Quinton Byfield in return from them. Like, we cannot miss if we trade G.

Math wasn't your strong suit in school?

I think a trade is all but certain. I’m not sure we’ll get a good haul however.

I was pretty good ...

Sanheim + Risto = Disaster

We might not but I look to the Richards, Carter and Schenn deals. I believe G is better now than they were when we moved those three players. Just not much support around him.

Yandle finally makes a nice play and JVR shoots it off the back boards, typical!

That last rush, Ristolainen is just staring at the puck with no awareness of what is coming down his wing for a Dallas scoring chance. The guy has no hockey sense whatsoever. Little bit earlier, makes a useless hip check at the line taking himself out of the play.

Problem is he’s a rental. Richie and carts were younger and signed to long deals. I’d set a big price and stick to it. 1st and a really good prospect. For a contender, g could put them over the hump for a cup. Imagine colorado gets g and a real tender?

queue up the music!! Does the music seem loud? I wonder if any fans are cheering?

You're right, its all his fault!

Maybe this is what the Flyers should do, wait for a opposing defenseman to get in front of his own net and then bank pucks off his skates ...

I want any team’s top prospect.

Worth a try. They are experts at shooting wide

I'm speculating that they build both draft capital and at least a little cap space at the deadline. If they are careful they can start to build a base. I'm not expecting a playoff team for a few years but maybe they do a real rebuild. Problem is that Fletcher really has been overmatched both here and in Minny and he scares me. He most probably will feel pressured to put a winning team on the ice and make poor decisions to protect his job. When I complain about ownership that type of pressure is why....

1st and the top prospect? Or top prospect so theoretically shorter path to the lineup? When the trade goes down I really don’t want to be underwhelmed but expect I will be.

This is what I have been wanting to see from Frost, he is making an impact all over the ice. It does not matter who you play with, if you play assertive and confident, you can ben noticed and Frost is being noticed!

I think it's an important off season in the hopes that they realize trying to do another quick fix will only prolong the misery. This team having some cap space scares me. Fletcher is not the right guy.

Both.

Sure it is. His objective was obviously to blame Hextall for the Flyers mess to protect his buddy Fletcher.

this made me laugh out loud

Wow, how awesome is Risto there!!
