brelic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Too bad... he seemed to be making a case for #6. But, I gotta say, Lilja has been ok the past few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyguys03 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That sucks. They have one decent prospect on defense in the whole system, and he gets ****ed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That sucks. They have one decent prospect on defense in the whole system, and he gets ****ed up.totally sucks! I was looking forward to watching our first D prospect actually grow into a defensemen that we'd all be talking positively about. Hopefully he repairs quickly and doesn't miss a step when he gets back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Odd to see someone on Twitter say Gus was in the lineup paired up with Timonen:http://twitter.com/#!/Lareeyr7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was coming along.That was from a slash too, if I remember correctly. We're not too far from some NHL gm meetings about slashes, it's been nasty this year.

hf101 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just listening to CSN TP in particular, .....wonder why the Flyers are reluctant to putting Gustafsson on LTIR so they can bring up another defenseman?If a defenseman goes down, their options are to send someone to the phantoms, put someone on waivers, or put Gustafsson on LTIRUnless there is a trade in the works?If thinking about the big picture here, something has to be be in the works with Schenn nearing a return also.

doom88 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 LTIR has its drawbacks as well, relating to cap hits of acquired players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something is brewing. As long as it isn't a trade to bring back Carter. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if he can handle the workload before we make big changes to the defense. I wanna see him play more before we trade for another dman.

Phlyer1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 How long was he out?Why did it take so long to decide on Surgery? Time to evaluate the care givers on this team and get somebody who knows the human body. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to evaluate the care givers on this team and get somebody who knows the human body. JMOThis is actually an improvement over recent history. Richards played an entire season on a wrist that needed surgery, and Pronger had to ask for every test in the book before the docs found out what Pronger knew about his knee.
