Just bite the bullet and trade him at the deadline or let his contract expire. Worst case he will bump someone else out the lineup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron will have to have to play his cards right which i expect he will and to keep from losing anyone it could be Oskar because he would waiver exempt...just saying it could be not just because he got outplayed.

Highly doubt it's Lindblom. The Flyers brass seem pretty high on him and I expect him to be on the Flyers getting good icetime this season. It'll be someone like Leier or another Tom Sestito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ8812 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I wouldn't mind Williams if the price was right but to be honest, why would he want to sign with a rebuilding team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hexy probably called to see what they were looking (doing what he is suppose to do leave no rock unturned) and J Dub's agent sent it out there to stir interest in his client (what he is suppose to do)....not much of a story here i think.

OccamsRazor Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 First thing the Flyer's need to do if they want to make the playoffs next year is sign a long snapper!!!!!! All great Cup team couldn't make it without one........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You build your core through the draft and sign free agents to compliment your core The Flyers arent in a position right now to add expensive free agents to help their core make a push in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a perpetual cycle of stupidity. F**k the Sixers no one gives a f**k about them. Look they are 3 years into this thing. I'm committed. Do i have my questions? Of course but since i have followed the Flyers i have seen it done the other way. Now i'm with them on trying it this way. All i know the farm is deeper than it has ever been and they are headed in the right direction. The rebuild isn't in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thnk the VeeGees are bridge guys to keep the team from being completely unwatchable while Hextall gets his guys into the system. I think IP, Sanheim, Koneckny, Rubstov, Patrick... I think these are the players in Hextall's core. G and Jake can show them how to be pros while still contributing but I think when this team is winning Jake and G will be quality depth players, not the on-ice production leaders. I don't think now is the time to make moves in a weak free agent market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
