IMO Flyers are not winning anything next year (thank Holmgren for this) Hexy is stuck with bad contracts (like Phillies) and i say start over fresh and let Hextall build this his way, and i believe Hextall has the stones to tell Snider to go sit the F down
Trade B. Schenn and whatever for a LW and put VLC as 2nd line center and hope for the best. Holmgren forced his head coaches to play too many guys out of position
I also like Josh Ho Sang at 17 but is he more a center than wing. Kid has tremendous speed and skill only flaw was 10 game suspension and size 5-11 170 but has NHL skill NOW
can the pay part of his contract, say he has $20 million left on deal can as part of trade pay say $10 million so a team like Red Wings pay half of $$ left? TIA
He looks lost since coming back from injury, slower than Coots. I don't know if playing Wing and in Berube's defensive system has anything to do with his play of late. I know Detroit wanted him but didn't want to give him 5 year contract. I can't see the Flyers paying him for 5 years to play wing here, plus his place on them team is taking minutes away from younger players.
Watching the WJC in Sweden I was very impressed with McDavid, he is 16 years old playing basically versus 19 year olds and is holding his own. I can imagine in 2 years when he matures and grows stronger in his legs and available in the 2015 NHL Draft. HOMER PLEASE DON'T TRADE FLYERS #1 in 2015 LOL
