Who has value we can trade?

[TerrapinFlyers]

Into what role as a coach? AHL? Bench coach?

He owns a team in Finland, I would guess there.

Kimmo actually specifically mentioned helping with our young defensemen. Which has me excited, because I've thought for years that he'd be a great coach when he retires.

Eklund is so full of it.

On the Flyers and Leafs...

I am told the Leafs have big interest in Brayden Schenn and Couturier, and could offer up defensive help if the Flyers were to choose to head that way. I would not at all be shocked to see a move in that direction sooner than later...

The leafs need D help pretty badly. Doesn't make any sense. The only D-men I could see them getting rid of would be Gardiner or Phaneuf. Obviously Franson would be a rental and were not in the playoff picture so that wouldn't happen. Doubt the Flyers would ever trade for Phaneuf. I don't know why I go to HockeyBuzz anymore.

 

[TerrapinFlyers]

Probably just to laugh at the stuff Ek is saying. That's why I stop by most of the time.

 

[Prongo]

You want Schenn or especially Couts, start with Reilly.

Franson is a UFA after this year. Hextall said trading young players is over, I think Franson would be in that range considering we would own his rights for two months.

That's probably it. Every rumor ends with "I see this happening sooner than later" and nothing happens whatsoever haha

let me guess. the Flyers want Phaneuf right ek? because you know spending more money on the defense would surely guarantee success

Kimo is supposed to get tested by Friday to see if his condition has improved enough to allow him to play. He has said that he wants to retire as a Flyer so I don't think that he'd come back to allow himself to be traded. It could be that if he can play that the door would be open to move Streit. Kimo would be the vet to keep the defense together as the youngsters start to fill in for the traded veterans.
He also said that he is open to coaching. It would be great to have him in the Flyers system for that. He has a green card so he can work here now.

Kimmo would be a great special teams coach/defense coach.
