Flyers trade deadline (Flyers claim J. Oduya off waivers; lose Alt to Colorado)

[LegionOfDoom91]

Did the Caps do anything today? Maybe they learned a lesson from last year emptying the vault for Shattenkirk.

They traded a third rounder for Michal Kempny & a fifth rounder for Jakub Jerabek leading up to the deadline. Both are defensemen. Kempny’s a good bottom pairing defender.

First in the division. 4th in the conference. You kidding me? I was hoping for a 7/8 seed. I'll still take that.

They're almost certainly going to give me the great joy of watching playoff hockey, which is the greatest thing known to man.

And, if Mrazek can play well, they won't be pushovers. Some fun hockey on the horizon, sports fans, if they can keep it up.

They sit at 78 WC 2 sits at 69, I'd say 94 should do it, to clinch a spot

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I have a question, Can flyers restructure contracts, Example Can they convert Part of G contract into a roster bonus which would lower his cap number.

Nope, NHL contracts are fully guaranteed unlike the NFL.

Kind of curious what their main motive was for claiming Oduya. Did they just want to upgrade Alt and let him play games in LHV or was this to make sure they didn't have to play Sanheim in the playoffs if it came down to it?

They have been lucky so far in terms of injuries as far as the blueline is regarded and probably expect someone to go down sooner or later.
And it's easier to sell it to a 36 year old that he will have to wait his turn and still know that said player will bring it in the playoffs if need be.

I don't believe we get to see Sanheim again in regular season unless Ghost or Provorov get hurt.

Would of been nice to add a forward but if teams are asking for our better prospects for a rental then I would rather stand pat
I get its a catch 22 because you want to get the usual suspects off the ice but sometimes it’s better to stay away from the madness

It sounds like they were all in for EK but didn't have the assets to offer.

 

[Alex K]

Do the Pens even have a farm system at this point?

We could send them the good farmer

 

[BernieParent]

What the.....! Are you really comparing a pretzel to a lobster?

Context is everything.

 

[BernieParent]

Is there an advanced ignore function for key words like 'pretzel'?

Asking for myself.

Me too, but we'll only find out if there's an injury to a dman.

 

[Tripod]

So Hextall put in the claim, not knowing about Alt's fate.

I wonder what move he would have made if we did not get Oduya and lost Alt.

Maybe you could work something out with Python. Until then, enjoy the burnt bread discussion

 

[Tripod]

The only trade that I look at that I would sub in Flyers players for, and still do, is likely the Vanek one.

That trade would be like us trading Leier+Read(50%) for Vanek. That I would have done....why not. Maybe he helps with the #2PP unit.

But all the other deals, I wouldn't bother doing. Not even the Maroon for a 3rd. We know we are not a real contender, so keep the picks to use them when we are a contender. Keeping those 1-2 picks every year make a difference over the long haul.

I would think it was to upgrade on Alt.

Maybe Hextall was also thinking that Oduya could steal Mannings spot since Haktard won't use Sanheim?

Vanek >>> Torgo no matter what role or line.

Every time I start to understand all the corsi stuff it goes back to looking like rocket science in 10 minutes.

I'm the same, except that I never really start to understand it.

I'm not even sure how to pronounce it.
Core-see. Corsee. Corgi. I give up.

 

[Appleyard]

I know it is a joke I honestly think:

Morin
O'Neill

and maybe even Myers...

would be recalled ahead of Brennan!

Was he hurt when O’Neill & Alt both got the call-up earlier this year? It would make sense as while both aren’t good they could at least blend in for the 10-12 minutes you give them. Brennan’s a total adventure even at the AHL level which has probably prevented him from more looks at the NHL level.

I dont *think* he was.

And yeh, at 5v5 he is a complete mes even in the AHL.

I have to be honest...yes I want the cup, but I will settle for watching our boys personnally derail the threepeat! I'll sign off on it right now!
