I have the game on but on mute while listening to Wishbone Ash on vinyl. I forget who it was, but someone recommended Wishbone Ash to me this past summer, so thank you whoever it was! Great stuff! As for the game, I missed part of the 1st, but Frosty is looking good!

If the team trades Provorov, who is your top pair D next year?

It’s believed we’re a ways away from contending. Sure but if you trade Provorov and Konency at top value prior to the draft, let JvR walk and remove Hayes anyway you can, you’re already looking at a complete makeover.

I don't know how far the makeover goes. TK , if healthy, looks to be a 30 goal.scorer. At the same time, there is good deoth at RW. Also, a good chance a winger will be the pick in the 1st rd this year. I would move Laughton before TK knowing the return will not be as good.

I think anything could be on the table this off season but I think Konecny stays. I believe Briere when he says it won't be a fire sale. I believe the most likely players traded are Hart, Provorov and Hayes.

Wow! Hate to say it but I wasn't born yet when you saw them at the Spectrum. I picked up a record player during the pandemic summer of 2020 to play albums that my father in law and my dad gave me. I only had a few albums because cassettes were taking over. That said, I've learned about a of bands like WA, Crack the Sky, Be Bop Deluxe, etc that I never heard of. I'm all about good tunes to help get me through these depressing Flyers games.

I would agree. I might add Allison to the list. He won't get a high pick, but it would open up another forward spot with Atkinson and Coots in theory returning taking spots opened up with Hayes and JVR leaving.

I think they keep Laughton. Won't command enough in return but you never know.

Atkinson is not needed. I don’t see him having any trade value if he comes back next year other than cap relief.

I agree he is not needed and has no trade value. If healthy, he has to play to hopefully muster trade value at the deadline. His contract is done in 2 years. Maybe he gets to 20 goals at the deadline, and hopefully move him at the deadline even if salary is retained.

Not sure if this has been covered but has anyone seen Cam, Coots or Ellis in the pressbox/popcorn suite? Back in the day, injured players were with the team. I saw Harper today in the dugout and made me think about our injured players who seem to have disappeared. I'm sure they are devastated making millions while sitting at home.

Thanks! I'm not on any social media. Still wondering if they go to games like players used to do. I'll never forget the Flyers-Caps game early 90s when Tocchet & Chychrun (both injured) and Hitch were in the pressbox and almost got into a fight with fans.

We’re definitely showing some age. First concert was Robin Trower headliner, Rick Derringer, and Gentle Giant. 76?
Spectrum. Dang.


My mom threw out all my old concert stubs after being caught with the Plant after three times. Wish i had them

That concerns me. We finally get a goalie...let's trade him... yay
- Bob Habib



Torts has his favorites. Seems like he’s got a hard on for ersson. I agree, risky business. He’s younger than konecny. He can be very good for us for a very long time. Why throw that away. I would move konecny over hart.
