Chelios points sights at Hextall and claims his next waiver. If that can be pulled off, I'll credit you with the idea and will begin construction on your statue outside of the WFC.

This should be reason enough to NOT go after him, but its likely a guarantee he will be in Philly now So after further digging there seems to be some truth to this. And well i all to fondly remember the Mcdud years and well i do not want to relive that. I had just listened to a pod cast about this. In the tracked 22-game sample from this past season, Jones allowed a carry-in on 67.1 percent of his targets, and allowed a pass into the Blue Jackets’ zone on another 19.6 percent of his targets. Columbus struggled as a team to stop opponents from entering their zone with control, but Jones struggled the most among their top-four minute-eaters, and it’s not close. Maybe the more stunning thing is that among Flyers defenders, only Nate Prosser had a worse time defending entries than Jones did in 2021. And that Flyers defense wasn’t exactly impressive to watch this past year. Yeah i say let the Black Hawks over bid for his services...i do not need this all over again. Go after Savard. Then maybe Larsson or Montour as the best options to shore up the blueline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the Savard as a choice to seek...but back to the sad part and an example of an embarrassment of riches...looking at the Canes/Bolts game tonight the guy we would like for the Flyers possible top pair is a 5th or 6th D man tonight on their bottom pair. #funnyineedadrink Just think about that. Yeah too funny you can't make this stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2020, he was ranked as number 5. No current Flyer defenseman is that good. My question, will he make the current defense better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly concerned at his stats have declined every year since he was in the Calder running. If you will it sounds close to the Flyer's very own version in Ghost....he too hasn't come close since his 65 point season....so unless we can just swap the two i find another option out there. In fact if i am moving assets then i want to do it for a guy who checks all the boxes and has a title. Colton Parayko. I'd rather target him and the Blues are in a bind. I'd start there myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
