Fletch wants to make a move before the 19th, so his trigger finger is itchy. Jonathan Quick, here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes per Eklund: The word around Philly is Fletcher wants to make at least one major move prior to the 19th and that move would would most likely be for a goalie...I am hearing the rumors about the Flyers acquiring Jonathan Quick as I have written previously, but I am also hearing of a bigger deal that could land Mark Stone and Craig Anderson in Philly. The issue is the Sens are not going to tank this season so the Flyers may have to wait for the deadline...at which point there may not be a point....The Flyers coaching staff looks like it has until after the holidays to get the team going...which of course coincides with Joel Quenneville making a decision as to whether or not he would return this season. Depending on the cost i would like and have even lobbied for Anderson and Stone...what i'm not sure of is the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the last thing Ottawa wants to do is go into tank mode...and watch Colorado reap the benefit. Unless of course Fletcher blows them away on a deal for a soon to be 38 year old goalie and an UFA on his way to his best season and looking for a bump in his over $7 million contract.

What they give the Avs right now is wudder under he bridge...they still have Duchene to show for it. If they slide down that far it would be a lot nice to turn that 2nd rounder they have into the 32nd pick than say the 50th. Mark Stone has already pretty much said he want out so...i would think they both can help. Stone can replace Simmer or you could even resign Simmer and trade Jake. But as i said there is one thing that could change my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait my bad........only negative stuff allowed here got it...........no more i promise. #worryon You mean the trade that predates any of the movesI mentioned? And that's even accepting that the Carter/Richards trades were at least good value (Richards especially was prescient, considering how fast his body broke down). Forgive me if I put more faith in the more recent track record. I like what Fletcher has said. He's at least paying lip service to learning from mistakes like trading Burns (and to be fair, that deal at least brought back a 1st) and using Leddy as a cap dump sweetener, and trading Tuch at the expansion draft. But when Dave Scott and Holmgren are saying something needs to be done NOW, that screams desperation. And other teams know that they're desperate, because they put it out in a freaking press conference. So call me paranoid, but given the history of the current front office management, I'm less confident that they'll make a smart move than one designed to make headlines.
