That's awesome.. I will watch from home as I pack to go to Italy Monday! Woot..

I will also be laughing my ass off watching Mike Gillis `try` to trade Luongo.. Reading the Canucks blogger say that they will absolutely not buy him out is hilarious.. what team can take that cap hit for assets without Van eating some of the money... it`s hilarious..


also, I really hope they draft a Dman.

I don't think the pens have a 1st or 2nd round pick. Letang may be in play though

The boos for stern last night were more in good fun. The boos for Bettman will be true disdain.

- PhillySportsGuy

they dont. but letang has virtually ensured he wont be back. and the flyers are always likely to make a move. i think the 1.5 is a good measure. i think at least one is all but assured. you never know. between them both, it wouldnt shock me to see 2 or 3 subsequent ones as well

Great post, Bill.

Let's get down to brass tacks: Bob Clarke was really pretty bad at drafting talent.

how much of that was on Clarke and how much on the scouts, and who was repsonsible for hiring the scouts anyway?

Are you talking trades between the 2 franchises or trades the 2 franchises make seperately.

I think it's a lock that each of the Flyers and Pens make, at least, one deal.

Solid point, but I still put it all on Clarke.

Is it weird that the flyer draft pick I noticed that we didn't use but would have been perfect here is Chris Simon?
