Still wondering how we ever replaced Chris Vandevelde and Jori Lehtera.

Maybe they wouldn't have traded Justin Williams.

Justin Williams

I remember the Flyers playing the bruins right before the TDL and no one checking Bourque because they didn’t want him getting hurt. It was a rumored done deal, IIRC.

The Flyers hadn't drafted Justin at that point yet.

The Flyers were not going to trade Gagne. It was some combo of Langkow/Delmore or Eaton/(I seem to recall S. McCarthy)/draft pick(s)/going to Boston. There was a verbal discussion of the trade and it was reportedly a done deal prior to the Bruins-Flyers game that afternoon. Then a change of course by Boston to Colorado in the next few hours. "What ifs" can change the course of history.
