– will be interesting to see how O’Reilly pans out at the NHL level. Flyers seen him a lot and clearly didn’t want to draft him. Traded the pick to the oilers ( with nothing coming back) and they took him.
– really doesn’t seem kolosov is worth the headache at this point. let him go back if he isn’t up to playing in the AHL.
A trade for Isaac Howards rights between the Flyers and Lightning would probably work. He hasn’t signed an ELC yet, and my understanding based on rumors is he wouldn’t mind playing for the Flyers
where is this coming from? any link?
Who knows how true and what was offered. I def believe Garrioch that they talked and made an offer. Again you see the quotes from the GM and he has no interest in moving him at this time.
Bill:
1. Pelletier, stay or go?
2. In your opinion what’s more likely, the flyers sign Nelson or Bennett? Now both % may be low just curious your take.

– that’s interesting. flyers need risto for their own playoff run. “I’m not shopping him. I’m not trying to get rid of him. He’s been an asset for us, and it would be a big hole if we ever had to lose him. I don’t know where it’s going.”
– looks like Kolosov back to Russia which isn’t surprising. flyers botched his development this year big time. played a low 29 games. should have been in LHV playing big minutes.
Darche new isles GM. Him and danny are buddies, is there a deal to be made?
will be interesting to see what direction the isles go. they need a rebuild just like the flyers. not a half assed one.
Guys from the Q no sold on recently. That league as taken a slide downward. We shall see. Can the flyers develop him is the big question.
take it for what it is worth, that appleyard guy says his sources told him the flyers have not spoken to Shabanov or his agents.
Knuble was a pick I didnt like at the time. Been watching him for 10 years and just didn’t think it was a good pick. My opinion has changed. He could end up being a solid bottom 6 player. He is one I will track going forward.
Would have no issue with McKee. In fact that is how I would lean, if not him get a fresh voice in the orginization. Maybe, God forbid, you groom said person to be the next head coach of the flyers. This is spot where they have the ability to pay an AHL coach well to get his services. He has had some success at the junior level.
What’s the deal with Smith. Seems to have done a good job with the defense at the AHL level. Honestly don’t know much about his coaching style or what he is about.
They did the aligned systems previously. Tortorella was against it, believing a coach should have totally freedom to implement his own systems. It doesn’t really seem to make a big difference, one way or the other. Most players adapt.
I think it does make a difference. Makes the process easier and simplified.
Bill any rumors on who they are looking at for the LHV coaching job? Does Jason Smith have a shot? Will they keep him?
I mentioned Shabanov few weeks ago. If you can add free talent you obviously do it. Doesn’t cost you anything. These are the type of moves they need to make. If it works out it then allows you to move another winger in a separate deal to address a need.
