Have been very lucky with the lack of injuries back there tbh. He's (probably) a top4/5 guy at least right now, maybe a change of scenery would do him well. I mean he's only got two more years left after this year on his current deal. You could even flip him at some point in the future for something if he bounces back and we retain. If he fails, just waive/bury him/buy him out. We're not going to be in a cap crunch for a long while. I'm not an NHL GM, clearly, but this is a no-brainer imo. Edit: Assuming the owner group is up for it financially. I thought he had 3 years left, at 2 years I think it’s even more of a shot worth taking. Could also be the answer to trading Kulikov if that is the route we take. Edited March 30, 2021 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then 30 GM’s all pass. I don’t think it’s as much of a no-brainer as you may think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need a defenseman who can help transition to offense and a defenseman who can.... we just need defensemen. I think I’d be happy if he could just choose the right guy to take and lay down in front of him at the right times. is that lowering the bar too much?

Sure!! 1) Kulikov to Boston for their next 15 1st round picks 2) Milky Way to Nicomo in exchange for a good candy bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Palmieri on the move to Boston, assuming for a 2nd round pick?" That's the exact same sentence structure, lol. Respectfully, your reading comprehension or lack thereof in this instance isn't my problem. I'm not interested in getting into one of your famous pissing matches here. That's not apples to apples at all - I was pretty simply suggesting that Johnny hockey might be a target if the Flyers are able to move the necessary cap space via a waiver pickup here. Waiving a roster player like this might suggest the Flyers have something cookin'. I'll be sure to make it abundantly clear for you moving forward when I may be talking about a hypothetical situation on a freakin' message board. C'mon man.

We already have an offensive minded D-man sitting all year (Butcher) I wouldn't be pissed if we picked him up. I'm hoping for a Savard type guy or Gudbranson in the future. Maybe even 1 or 2 of our Bingo D men will be able to step in? (long shot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though its not like nobody has ever been claimed off waivers before. Still, I'm surprised nobody took a shot. Dude used to be pretty prolific offensively, I would have thought some team with a hole might've thought it worth a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 That Flyers defense is really bad. If Ghost isn’t good enough to stay in that lineup that’s a major red flag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly 123 GA in 34 GP NJ 106 GA in 34 GP now granted some that is probably Hart not being able to stop a beach ball, but still. It’s crazy how badly their defense has fallen apart.

vadvlfan Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Philly D isn't that bad. Goaltending has been brutal. This team was pretty darn good at the start of the season. Hart lost his mojo.
