Claude Giroux is now the only current Flyer who played in a regular-season game with the team before the start of the 2011-12 season. Yeesh.
Really interested to see how Anaheim does now. They're a team that, for a few years now, has had a record much better than how they look on paper. I'm not sure switching up 3/7 (albeit two 5-7 guys) of your defenseman is the best idea when you seem to run so well on chemistry.
Especially with Babcock's likely interest in coaching there
But look at all those wonderful assets they got. I mean they have done awesome.
Oh I don't quite know how to explain falling from Cup finalists to out of the playoffs also-rans. I mean Pronger is a big deal, but lets be honest here if the Flyers were cleaning up in these trades like a lot of people around here seem to think, they would be a better team right now.
Bingo, oh god bingo. I've been with you on the Flyers situation since the start.
Okay, the Flyers lost Pronger. That's fair. Wings lost Lidstrom. Doesn't particularly matter how they lost the guy, it happened, and the teams have taken very different paths. One is still building towards something while making the playoffs and winning games, and the other is floundering around trying to create a team identity.
Luckily for Flyers fans his time of acquiring a guy and then moving him out of the organization shortly afterwards is over.

When people are so hesitant and saying no way on trading Mantha. Think Connoly...

I haven't heard any rumors about that nor do I think Boudreau's ass is on the line.
San Jose, on the other hand, should have an opening...
