Thread: Hayes It Is
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cmaenza28</b></div><div>I don't not like the acquisition. I think he is a good fit and they needed 2C. I just wonder if we go Vet heavy this offseason acquiring or signing guys with 4,5 or 6 year terms, what is the point of having great prospects waiting in line? Morgan Frost and Farabee and Ratcliffe can't all play in the AHL for the next 6 years, and they're not playing 4th line minutes in the NHL. So I just think the more bodies come in long term from outside, the more the writing is on the wall for dealing somebody like Konecny, Voracek, JVR, who knows. They've gotta make room for these guys at some point</div></div>

While I love the kids we have (especially the three you mentioned) it's dangerous to hope that they all pan out. Fletcher had an opportunity to make his team better today and he took it. I'd rather him do that then to hope these kids work out. Like someone else mentioned, injuries happen and who knows what happens in 2,3,4,5 or 6 years. Players could play their way out of the lineup or could have career ending injuries. Who knows. All I can say is I am happy to see Chuck is willing to do what it takes to be better today

Thread: flyers deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>biggs321</b></div><div>Unpopular opinion but i think they should send hart down for the phantoms playoff run meanwhile talbot and elliot battle it out for the backup job next year. We would get Ho-Sang (who has his issues) for simmer but i think he would play really well with patrick. I think Gudas should be traded and let myers or one of the younger d men play and get some experience. Toronto gets a solid defensive d man for the play off run (if not suspended for being dumb lol) Raffl should just be traded wherever for whatever return to free up room for younger forwards to get some experience. I think Goulbourne will be a solid bottom 6 guy meanwhile vecchione, vorbyov, or aube kubel could come up and experience. This would leave the flyers with plenty of picks in the upcoming draft and plenty of room to maneuver up or down.. Unfortunately i think we are stuck with the macdonald contract but at 5 million with the cap going up i do not think it will be a huge albatross moving forward.</div></div>

Couple points
1) I think chuck buys Amac out in the summer as we have too many defenseman that are coming up next year. Also his ice time is going down as the season is going along.

2) The flyers can send Hart down on paper during the trade deadline. This allows him to play in the NHL to gain big league experience and he can play in the AHL playoffs. If they do this (and I'm sure they will) then...

3) they will trade Elliot to a playoff team for depth.

4) also just a minor thing but I think the islanders would have to add to the trade cause as you said Ho-sang is a lottery pick

Good post!
