Flyers have a lot of opportunities to improve the roster, and it will take the combination of the draft, free agents (restricted) offers, and trades. I mentioned in an earlier post that center positions with the 6th pick should be targeted, and I had Fondell and McQueen as the targets. Yes, I’d like to have Hagens, but if he’s not available then hopefully one of the two I named with be. If neither of them is available, then go with Martone if available. I’m not sold on Desnoyers. As to RFA that could be available, look at the teams who don’t have too much cap space available, such as Dallas, NYR, TB, STL. I mentioned earlier that TB has a draft player (Howard) who hasn’t signed at the Center position. Player has some capabilities, and someone mentioned if I would trade Brink for him. I think I would, given where the construction of the team mix needs to go. Don’t get me wrong, I like Brink; but he is small in stature, and we have a lot of RW’s on the roster. There are others out there (e.g. Quinn with Buffalo), Bierre and company just need to get creative as it fits their plans. As to trades, I’d look at Buffalo, STL, NYR for a defensemen or goalie. If we give up York or Tippett to get a #2 D or a good goalie, I’m in. Although we have not seen a lot of positive trades, sometimes the best trade is no trade. So, I’m letting the Flyers Brass do their thing and hope if plays out. Note, it takes a while to build a team, and I think we’re just turning the corner. I’m excited for the next couple of years.
