SLC is a great location for hockey. They have an ardently fan base already for the Grizzlies that will support NHL hockey in SLC. New name Salt Lake Salt! Locals will understand.

"I can't see nothing too much wrong with that" Up-Dutch compliment.

Of current topic, do the Flyers have a second round draft pick in this draft as compensation for not signing O'Brien?

Unfortunately the teams offering reported first and/or second round picks are the top 5 or 6 teams this year, meaning that the picks they are offering are at slotted at number 26 to 32. How many players selected with picks taken this late in the first round turn into stars, or even top six forwards or top four defensemen?

I am repulsed by the supposed actions of these players. I still have to ask, not knowing Canadian law, but doesn't double jeopardy apply here?

And just like that the Flyers loose their franchise goalie. Poof, Gone!

Uh! I think that the Flyers actually have a defense. Who would have thunk!

How would have thunk!

Thanks to the founders. They have done an incredible job of keeping the site clean and relevant.

I thought about this and began to realize If the Flyers end up drafting tenth, which I suspect is possible, the players have to play well. That means that the team and individual players are playing well enough to entice other teams to look favorably them at the trading deadline.

Not to mention the players.

Pierre Lebrun "Agent Marc Levine says his client Shayne Gostisbehere “will not be resigning with Carolina will now go to July 1.” The blue liner will be UFA on Saturday. Do we sign him?

With the exception of Torts the rest of the management team (decision makers) are significantly younger. At least that's a start.

I've been following this thread from its inception. It is surprising there are so many on here chasing the next shiny new potential star. If we have learned anything it is that to consistently win the team needs steady goaltending. The Flyers have gone years without success. So yeah, lets trade Hart our 7th pick and any combination/s of all our best players to move up 2 to 4 spots in the draft. Hart may be traded, but the only reason Hart should be traded is if he has developed a really poor attitude and does not want to be here!

I was worried that he returned after his first stroke. Now that he has had a second stroke I hope he enjoys his retirement. He has had a wonderful career. This also brings up questions regarding the Penguins medical staff. Typically it is not a good idea to allow anyone to return to a job, after a stroke, where they will get their head knocked around!
