Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 2/9/23 vs EDM

Rangers get Tarasenko.....guess no interest in JVR there

Power play aside, McDavid has underwhelming linemates. That 2nd line with Drai, Hyman and Kane should be a load for the Flyers.

Thanks, Bill. I knew we had an afternoon game Saturday... which I'll be attending.... but didn't realize they were also playing on Sunday afternoon, before the Superbowl. I'm so glad I selected the Nashville game, leaving the Sunday game for my non Eagles fan partner; it'll be nice casually watching the Fly-Guys leading up to the Big-Game... taking the wait time pressure off a tad.

GO, FLYERS... GO, BIRDS... FLY EAGLES FLY.

...guessing a 1st..Kravtsov and Blais...Tarasenko had a NTC so rumor was only would go to Rangers..Isles..or Devils...Isles obviously out with Horvat signing

Torts with some brutal honesty today about DeAngelo's defensive deficiencies.

I caught it! Was just saying, I can’t see a bidding war or a team saying we need this guy. His is gonna be just a fair trade, like you said maybe a third

I can’t say I’ve watched much of Tarasenko lately but not a bad trade for a proven goal scorer. Kid Krastov was a wimp so it’s a late first and a depth guy for a proven goal scorer

McJesus is a one man elite line.

Tarasenko to Rangers and maybe P Kane has surgery, it would be justice for the Hawks for the tank job if they received ZERO for Kane

Hearing Mikkola is going to NYR.

Edit: STL getting a 1st and a 4th

Flyers releasing Hogberg….unconditional waivers.

[Whyno] Done deal: Rangers acquire Vladimir Tarasenko and Niko Mikkola from Blues for conditional 2023 first-rounder, conditional 2024 4th, Sammy Blais, and forward prospect Hunter Skinner.

Oh No! He was my favorite player!

You mean he didn't want to play for the Flyers??? That's odd!

Aggressive Ragtool

Barkov out for Panthers tonight, man they went for it last season and this season, short of a small miracle they will not even get into the dance.

St louis is selling maybe Hexy gets Shcenn

Oh No! He was my favorite player!

Maybe they will use the contract spot to sign the Jay “I’ve got the goods” O’Brien!

Time to sign Anisimov

McJesus is a one man elite line.

But you can neutralize a one man elite line some. The Wild have won 8 of the last 9 against the Oilers largely due to Brodin’s success in shutting him down. When he has mediocre linemates they don’t convert those sweet passes.
