Must be fun to be a Flyers fan - always in the playoff hunt and always making moves trying to get better.

They've been kinda mediocre for the last few years. And even when they were doing well they seemed overrated.

[Hoss]

Just a 2nd and 3rd?

He was one of the big names being mentioned as likely trade candidates, doesn't seem like much

 

That's a very good price for him. Isles should be happy, McDonald is a 5th guy.

[LGR4GM]

Late addition to that trade but apparently Isles also get C Matt Mangene from Philly, U. Maine product, 24, undrafted FA playing in AHL.

@HackswithHaggs

The Andrew MacDonald deal to Philly certainly opens the door for a Andrej Meszaros deal to Boston. Should be a mid-round pick & no more

[Hoss]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Brad Boyes agrees to terms on 2 year deal with FLA. $2.625M AAV.

Bobby Lu traded to Florida

 

I guess the rebuild starts now in Vancouver. what did they get back I wonder?

Holy crap Luongo to the panthers via just about everyone!

 

G Jacob Markstrom as part of the deal for Luongo

And it's allll right and it's comin on we got to get right back to where we started frooommmm

[Iron Crotch]

Trading Luongo is an interesting move given the Canucks are in the playoff hunt. But, Luongo hasn't been playing well, so it probably helps them.

It's Garricroch... but...

Sounds like the Caps are sniffing around Buffalo's Jaroslav Halak. #NHL

Probably has more to do with him being pissed over not playing on Sunday

This will probably piss off alot of Canucks fans after Schneider was moved at the draft

[sabills]

Man, the race to the bottom next year is going to be something to see.

Seriously, Wow.

It sounds like Shawn Matthias is heading to the #canucks along with Jacob Markstrom.

The Bobby Lu trade just knocked out the server at HF boards. We've never had that here *cough* deadline 2006 *cough*

Oh boy, great thought. I hope SDS has backed up the server.

Well it survived Miller trade and PLF resigning so we should be okay.

LOL.

[apuszczalowski]

Whos supplying the tire pump for Thomas and Luo?

[Hoss]

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Tim Thomas now. He'll be far more valuable than Halak. I gotta think Halak is stuck now.

[Eleven]

Lu--WOW.

Why? Vancouver needs a backup! (Or not; not sure who was included in the trade.)

They got Markstrom. Not sure if Vancouver is going to be buyers at this point.
