I'm torn...of course it'd be nice seeing a "hometown guy" playing for his favorite childhood team, but does it fit into what the organization should be doing right now? (Rebuilding/tanking for Bedard)
I know the expansion draft is tonight at 8pm but I'm assuming some of these picks can be leaked? I hope this isn't true, ouch...we could use some cap space.
I'd like to lose some dead weight (JVR, Gustafsson, Ghost) but that seems unlikely. Call me crazy but I'd like to see Ristolainen from Buffalo. I've only seen him against the Flyers but I think he'd do better here once we get our act together
Jammer, at one point I sketched a cool little alternate logo taking inspiration from the "Flyers" name, and used a side view of a plane much like your Spitfires logo, but crossed with the familiar "Flying P".
I've defended Holmgren quite a bit but I really cannot wrap my head around buying out Briere and then promptly signing Lecavalier. We get rid of two aging guys with crazy contracts, Briere and Bryz, then you go out and immediately court VLC simply because he's out there and it seems a lot of teams were going after him? Another reason why Hexy is a breath of fresh air.
"Mixing it up with the law" I think people are blowing this way out of proportion. If he slugged an officer, then I'd be worried. And another poster said what if the officer was gay? How would G even know?? It was dumb, obviously, and a stupid decision, but I'm sure we all did stupid things at that age.
