Whatttt

 

[backburner]

why? ugh

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

wow, rip Schenn. Our centre depth is wild, can Lehtera play wing?

Wanted Schenn to be with us for awhile

 

[Finnpin]

Lehtera is kinda slow for modern NHL but he can act

Hopefully a new and last chance in NHL will get his career back on track.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Lehtera looked good a few years back but has regressed since

Was pretty terrible for most of last year

Pretty poor trade for Flyers IMO especially since Blues pick will be likely late next year

 

[markzab]

I understand the center depth situation, but still...not the return I would have demanded. Unless that conditional 1st in 18 comes to us as long as Schenn plays 1 game for them or something.

 

[bauer]

Lehtera sucks. Flyers must've been really high on Frost.

anyone know what the conditional 1st is?

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

what the ****, I just saw his contract. 4.7 million for 2 years, that's ****.

We're saving 300k in cap space, this is utter trash.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Hate this trade. Taking on Lehtera's contract is brutal.

[JojoTheWhale]

Finkel is Filppula. Einhorn is Lehtera.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Thank You Schenn You will be missed

 

[Damaged Goods]

Hextall had added a lot of salary for less productive players like Filippula and Lehtera. Still have 14 forwards in the mix in Weal signs. Is there another move coming?

 

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

Not a fan of this deal.

 

[Karma]

Gross. Hate this trade.

 

[flyershockey]

So two late firsts and a cap dump for Schenn. Never thought the world of Schenn, but that's a pretty **** poor return. Guess they're fairly confident that Patrick and Lindblom will make the roster.

[bauer]

i don't get this move at all. Schenn is 25, a 55-60 point player, and on a good contract. no need to move him. i want to hear Hextall's explanation for this. we had a killer top 9 and now it just got weaker.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

How the hell are you playing Giroux, Patrick, Couturier, Filppula and Lehtara together? I assume one has to kick out to a wing?

 

[usahockey22flyers]

This saddens me

 

[flyerslducks]

Lehtera looked good a few years back but has regressed since

Was pretty terrible for most of last year

Pretty poor trade for Flyers IMO especially since Blues pick will be likely late next year

still got 2 firsts for him and a player they can use as a bottom 6 center (something blues weren't able to do)

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Such a **** trade. I kind of hope this means we somehow get Gally. I dunno anymore...

 

[OriginJM]

Not like this... awful trade.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

He fact that can be pushed to 2019 for the minor cost of a 2020!! 3rd makes it even worse.
