agreed, this team aint going nowere in the PO's if it even does happen at all..

 

[Willis88]

Hextall has already come out and said they wont be buyers, so no. He's either going to sell off pieces, or stand pat.

Your avatar terrified me. Legit thought Sam was on here

DSP traded to Montreal for Jiri Sekac today. Those both are two guys I would've wanted in a trade for Coburn.

 

[Curufinwe]

Montreal should trade for Coburn. Their defense will need a guy like him if they plan on winning multiple rounds.

any team would be wise to do such things.

We piss and moan about Coburn in the regular season, but dude has been nails every post season.

Here's what I would try to do; not sure how feasible these deals are but here goes:

Trade Coburn for a 1st (or try to trade to NJ for Mike Cammalleri which I doubt they would do)
Trade Luke Schenn or Grossmann to ANA for a LW like Etem, Smith-Pelley, Cogliano, etc
Trade for a backup goalie like Jack Campbell DAL, Mark Visentin AZ, Zac Fucale MON

Grossmann or Luke Schenn alone won't get Etem. Fucale isn't a backup. Coburn may get a late 1st but his play hasn't been too good since coming back from his injury.

Sell whatever expiring or soon to be expired assets we have.

 

[Curufinwe]

The only UFAs we have are:

Kimmo
Bellemare
VdV
White
Colaiacovo
Emery

 

[bennysflyers16]

Grossmann for a 3rd
Waive Zac

Those 2 moves would greatly improve Flyers chances at the playoffs

 

[FlyingPhilly]

This team would be lucky to make the playoffs and even if they do most likely a first round exit. Only moves that should be made are to get rid of the excess not needed.

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

We're not going to make any noise come playoff time. Make hockey trades or stand pat.

Waive Zac

congrats! this makes no sense

 

[Flyerss]

congrats! this makes no sense

Making space for Timonen
and getting rid of a useless player

how do they make no sense?

Bruins fan here. Got a trade scenario for you.

To PHI:
Subban
1st or two 2nds
Koko/Ferlin/Other prospect

To BOS:
Simmonds

You get a potential franchise goalie for the next 10-15 years and a solid pick and we get the RW we need.

Thoughts?

this isn't the worst offer I have heard, so at least you get relative cred for not posting tripe. It's in a vacuum at least close.

However, no thanks. Simmer has been the 3rd most important flyer, signed to a great deal.

It's going to have to be a joke overpay for him, as his value to us is way off right now.

 

[sharpeye97]

None.

 

[kjbhockey]

This team is the epitome of mediocrity. Their 5 vs. 5 goal scoring is terrible. Honestly they only have the ability to score consistently on the powerplay. I really hope this little run towards the playoffs does not mess with Hexy's head. He needs to unload some defensive contracts not only to get some breathing room on the cap but also make some spots available for the young kids next year.

 

[achdumeingute]

Best thing we can do for a playoff run in 2017 is Sell, Sell, Sell.

We have a franchise goalie. He's 26. His name is Steve Mason.

Good day.

What doesn't make sense?

Both players are a detriment to the team. Grossmann is worth nowhere near a 3rd. We'd be lucky to get a 5th for him. He is a $1 million defensemen making $3.5 million.

Rinaldo has negative value. Waiving him and bringing in a competent 4th liner would be a major improvement. The team actually played better with Lecavalier on that line than Rinaldo. Not sure why Berube made the change in the first place.
