Oh and about Gagne, I saw him in a sports show in Qc, he said he is thinking more and more about retiring. He doesn't feel like playing anymore since his father died. He looked pretty depressed was sad to see

even if he came back for a game in philly and retired as a flyer would be so awsome

trade like a conditional 7th for him with the condition that he plays 10 games for it or something

The Flyers recalled defenseman Brandon Manning from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.

wonder if he gets to play

to add on this flyers site did a 2014 draft prospects update on some later picks i never really checked on

sanheim http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=104043
aube kubel http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=104044
mark friedman DEF http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=104045
He leads the team in assists (17) and the team's defense in scoring with 19 points through 36 games to help the team to an overall 21-10-5 record
Friedman’s impact has not just been about stats. Bowling Green head coach Chris Bergeron has seen enough from him in his rookie campaign to place him in all kinds of situations, including the team’s power-play and penalty-killing units.
oskar lindblom LW http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=104066
Drafted at 17-years-old by the Flyers this past summer, Lindblom is in his first full year in the Swedish Hockey League. Now at 18-years old, he has eight goals and five assists for 13 points in 37 games.
WORLD STAGE: He played for Team Sweden in the U20 World Junior Tournament where he ranked second on the team with nine points in seven games, including a hat trick in a 5-1 win over Switzerland, and two points (1g-1a) in their quarterfinal win over Finland.
radel fazleev LW http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=104067
After posting five goals and 20 assists for 25 points in 38 games last year, Fazleev already has new career highs in goals (18), assists (27) and points (45) to go along with a +18 in 65 games.
“He’s one of those guys that might be the first guy into the zone, but then he’s the first guy back. So that tells you about his work ethic. The way he goes about his game, he takes all the big draws; he plays center, plays wing. He’s willing to listen and he wants to be a player and he has a great attitude."
"People should realize, not only is he good with the puck, he’s good without the puck. He plays the game the right way and works extremely hard… His willingness to learn is what separates him and now you’re seeing that those attributes are paying off. It’s fun to watch those guys that go under the radar from a hockey standpoint, but now all of sudden people are taking notice.”


sounds like the later picks are developing pretty good too

hell retire a flyer theyll have the ceremony for him no doubt id say next year or something

missed the game tonight
seems like lehtonen kept the stars in after watching the highlights giroux n voracek got so many chances omg
umburger hurt or healthy scratch?good to see vinny in but why rinaldo still in? lol

Rinaldo was in because if not the opponent would get no power plays and that wouldn't be fair :/

First 6 minutes of game was nice, all flyers then they died.

But yeah flyers had a shit ton of great chances.

We need a huge re-group of our defense for sure.

However, we have 7 of the first 101 picks this year which is a fair few.

Ignoring the forwards for a minute, my break down of the defense is as follows:

Streit - He's old, however IS putting up decent numbers, out of contract in 16/17 and will probably retire. KEEP.
Colaiacovo - He's been decent, but isn't likely to set the world alight, on a low salary though and has posted a positive +/- so far. As long as he stays cheap, KEEP, as a 3rd Line defenseman he can do a job.
MDZ - At 21(?) he posted up 41 points and a +/- of +20. Granted that was 3 years ago, but he clearly has something about him & looks to be re-finding it this year. He's cheap at the minute cap-wise, get this boy signed up to a multi-year deal ASAP and only good things will happen. I can see MDZ being one to watch in years to come for the Flyers and at only 24 has his best years ahead of him. KEEP.
Grossman - Not worth 3.5 Mill on cap, he needs to be traded this summer as he definitely won't be offered a new contract. Hopefully we can move him & someone like Read on for a high-end defenseman. LEAVE
Gudas - He's relatively unknown, other than the fact that he posts up ridiculous PIM's. Could do a decent 3rd line job for us, but realistically could bring the Toughness that Philly have missed this year. Need to see what he's like really before a long-term decision is made.
Macdonald - Words fail me. He needs to go, & is eating up a huge portion of salary cap & is on a ridiculous contract. Probably our 2nd biggest problem at the minute.
Luke Schenn - the trade that sent him away from Philly was pure madness. Really fail to see what he brings to us other than being over paid. He needs to be packaged up and shifted on, i'd even take a draft pick just to see him out. Nothing against his brother, but if moving the pair on together adds value then so be it. Our biggest problem so far.
Schultz - i've been pleasantly surprised by Nick, he's done a solid job. Not a flashy player, but sticks to what he knows and executes well. Glad he's been signed up to 16/17.

I'm not sure that Morin, Gosti, Sanheim, Hagg are ready for an NHL call-up as of yet, although it would be great to see a couple of them given a chance next year.

that seems pretty accurate specially the macdonald one
i dont mind grossman i could live with keeping him if we got rid of macdonald or schenn but if we got them we gotta move grossman lol

i think morin is ready for next season i think he prob coulda came up this season but with another season of development+team canada WJC i think hes ready to make the jump
the other guys are good offensively but i think they need to step up their d a bit but i think ghost will be up next season they seem to like him
