Would you pick him on your Fantasy Team next year? We have all been waiting for this breakout year (and yes I picked him on one of my teams and dropped him pretty quickly).

The Jagr line which started with one Andreas Nodl in the year 2011!

So you are saying he would outscore Jagr?

Philadelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk does not require hip surgery and is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp in the fall. Last season, van Riemsdyk was limited to 43 games due to a number of injuries, scoring 11 goals and adding 13 assists for 24 points. He missed games due to a groin injury, a concussion and foot surgery. He returned to play seven games in the playoffs, contributing two points before the Flyers bowed out in the second round. The New Jersey native was drafted second overall by the Flyers in 2007. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=398418 3...2...1..Let the trade rumours start now!

Wait til Digi sees how much it will cost him to send it to Australia! Week old Hoagie...... mmmmmmmmmm

Thanks @idahophilly , it was close there at the end and a lot of fun. Looking forward to my WAWA lol. .DUH! Tom (aka OzFlyer)

NHL draft trades: The price of moving up into the top ten picks by Eric T. on Jun 10, 2012 2:28 PM EDT in Philadelphia Flyers Commentary 15 COMMENTS EMAIL PRINT Bruce Bennett - Getty Images ST PAUL, MN - JUNE 25: NHL draft prospects sit in the stands wondering what the Flyers would give up to move up and draft them during the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center on June 25, 2011 in St Paul, Minnesota. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)A lot of people have been suggesting that the Flyers should trade up into the first 10 picks of this year's draft to get one of the top defensive prospects. However, I think people are overestimating how likely that is and underestimating the cost. Let's take a look at the draft pick trades since the lockout. The first thing that jumps out at me is that it just doesn't happen very often. There have only been four trades that involved a top-10 pick, plus the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54905/phil-kessel" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(190, 61, 18); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; ">Phil Kessel deal which included two picks that ended up being in the top ten. It would seem that teams generally just aren't all that interested in moving down. When they do move down, they generally don't move down very far. Unless a player like Kessel or Jeff Carter is involved -- and I don't think people are suggesting the Flyers should move Claude Giroux to get a top-10 pick -- no team picking as low as the Flyers has moved up even into the top half of the first round since the lockout. So a team trading down that far would be rare, but the few trades that have happened still give us a view of what the cost might be. 2008: Maple Leafs trade pick #7, a future second-round pick, and pick #68 for pick #5 2008: Predators trade pick #9 and pick #40 for pick #7 2007: Sharks trade pick #13 and pick #44 for pick #9 At that top part of the draft, just moving up a couple of spots costs something like an early-second round pick. Let's look at what the Flyers would have to give up to get into the range where an early-second could get them into the top ten. 2008: Kings trade pick #17 and pick #28 for pick #12 2008: Sabres trade pick #13 and a future third-round pick for pick #12 2009: Islanders trade pick #16, pick #77, and pick #182 for pick #12 2008: Senators trade pick #18 and a future third-round pick for pick #15 2010: Kings trade pick #19 and pick #59 for pick #15 2006: Sharks trade pick #20 and pick #53 for pick #16 2007: Wild trades pick #19 and pick #42 for pick #16 So at #20, the Flyers should expect to give up a second-round pick to move to something like 15th or 16th, another second round pick to get to the 12th or 13th range, and another second round pick to get into the top 10. Of course, with no second-round picks in this draft, that probably isn't the route they'll take, but the point is that getting into the top ten will cost them the #20 pick and something with value comparable to three second-round picks. Given that late-first-round picks have often been traded for two second-round picks, I suspect that even the 20th pick and next year's first rounder wouldn't be enough. People who are thinking that the 20th pick and Sergei Bobrovsky would be an enticing package for Tampa Bay at #10 are either wildly overvaluing a goalie who is 31st out of 39 in save percentage over the last two yearsor wildly undervaluing the cost of moving up in the first round. Very few teams have traded top-ten picks away at all, and if a team was tempted, it would certainly cost more than spare parts to move all the way up from 20th. 15 comments | Add comment | 0 recs |

TORONTO (AP) The American Hockey League said its officials made a mistake in allowing a fluke overtime goal to stand in Game 3 of the Calder Cup final. The goal gave the Norfolk Admirals a 1-0 win Wednesday night and a 3-0 series lead over the Toronto Marlies. The Admirals got the win after defenseman Mike Kostka's dump-in hit a stanchion deep in the Marlies zone and bounced into an open net. Toronto goalie Ben Scrivens was behind the goal to play the incoming puck, but could only watch as the puck took a wild bounce. The officials didn't notice Norfolk had at least one player offside when the puck was shot in. According to AHL rules, the goal should have been disallowed. AHL president Dave Andrews says in a statement that despite the error, the result will stand.

Shelley of course! He's great in the locker room!!

I feel that his actions simply reflect his politics. Every man for themself!

"On top of this, I will continue to train using the ARP/POV systemwww.ultrafitevosport.com and work with G-Form www.g-form.com in the development of protective equipment." Well that's good news! LOL - https://www.facebook.com/TimThomasOfficialPage

Bob McKenzie just said on TSN that the #Flyers want a more experienced backup G who can play. They're not sold on Bob in that role. @D_LEED

Kings in 6

Gagne is travelling with the team to NJ.

@AndyS Going to the SCF's in his Gagne Jersey?

Just watching the game now. period 2.Goalie interfence??? BS!!

A shutout for Bryz in this series... bank it!

And his own teammates!

Among the many stats out there regarding Flyers centerman Danny Briere, here’s one that you likely haven’t heard of. Or even considered. Danny Briere has 36 goals in the playoffs since leaving the Buffalo Sabres. As NHL.com’s Adam Kimmelman figured out, the Sabres have scored just 33 in the five years he’s been gone.

Bob is not the answer.

I predict that Clarkson will be on our most hated list by the end of the series. He has "crazy eyes"!

I think we still see the Rangers in the ECF's!
