Flyers acquire Steve Mason.

 

[UKFlyers]

Beaten to it. For a decent price, good move.

Read >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Conacher

No. Read is 26 going on 27 in June, what he is is great for us, but Conacher is a 23 year old rookie who was close to PPG through much of this year. He has tapered off since but still has 25 points in 35 games which is around a 60 point year in an 82 game season. Kids going to be a stud. By all accounts he already is.

 

[Hardnell]

For ****'s sake, do something Homer... Kent Huskins is not a solution to a depleted D

 

[JVR21]

What the ****? Better be for a 7th.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

An actual back-up for Bryz. Holy ****.

 

[RJ8812*]

Steve Mason? OH MAN! **** off

 

[OriginJM]

omg im going to throw up

 

[CS]

The fact the Flyers were in on Bishop is an indication they're looking at new starting goaltending.

Which could make the whole expensive defense argument pointless.

If we had a goaltender whose production was equal to his cost, then we could work around that and plan our defense accordingly whether he was crappy with a low cap hit or great with a high cap hit.

This **** production for a high price between the pipes has to stop.

 

[bennysflyers16]

A more expensive MFL !!!

Give them a Vezina candidate and get their scraps !!!

Worst goaltending in NHL just got more expensive !!!

 

[GingerFetish]

MfL 2.0

Mason for Couturier

 

[PALE PWNR]

Hasn't he been close to invisible other than his hot start ?

He's a rookie streaks are what you expect and his hot start lasted almost 20 games or so. In a shortened season with a compacted schedule its really not surprising.

 

[Prongo]

What a player had to go. People were saying we were at 50 contracts. I wonder who it was(prospect)

 

[RJ8812*]

Trade Bob, then pick his back-up

lol

 

[Curufinwe]

I hope this means we've seen the last of Leighton.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Anything more than a 3rd is absurd.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

People were complaining that we didn't get an actual back-up to Bryz... then we acquire Mason and everyone hates it without even knowing the return?

I get it. It's fun to laugh at Mason. That said, we're talking about a guy who could clearly benefit from a change of scenery and be an interesting reclamation project.

 

[BillDineen]

They'll resign him cheaper. He is young and could bounce back. Not great, but not that bad.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

a roster player headed to CBJ.

cant be for just a pick

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

7th and THE Klotz? Even though the Klotz jokes don't get old.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Ain't no trades it looks like. Probably a good thing. All our dudes who were worth anything insofar as trade value are hurt and there didn't appear to be anything available worth trading our younger guys for. Still got about a half hour so we'll see how this ends, but I don't see anything happening for us.

EDIT: LOL, as I typed this they traded for Mason. Wtf.
