@billmeltzer: Panthers pull off late comeback win in regulation vs Caps. Paired with Devils loss in regulation, Isles loss in SO and Flyers regulation win over Columbus, it was a real good night for Philly.

9 points clear of the second wild card team. Amazing how quickly the focus has shifted.

It still can't be emphasized enough how lucky we got in the draft lottery. Nolan Patrick is a stud and is cheap until 2020. Flyers will now have 16m-21m in cap space this summer depending on the cap. Manning and Flippula are the only UFA's. Leier and Hagg the only RFA's. John Tavares and John Carlson are the elite free agents. Here's a list (old friend JVR at #3): http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/artic ... ts-of-2018

Suddenly I'm thinking about being the 2 seed and playing the Devils or Columbus or Carolina in the first round... this winning Philly thing is contagious... and surreal

Brandon Manning is practicing today.

McKenzie said you can have Karlsson if you take Bobby Ryan.

Currently we have $1.75M in cap space. Karlsson is $6.5M and Ryan is $7.25M... it would be nearly impossible. Right now I have Filppula, Read, and Lehtera getting right near that number, with only Lehtera being on the books for more than one year... you would need some serious picks or young players in there to sweeten that slop.

EDIT: I'm not a math genius, or an NHL trade expert. I wish there were a trade machine that did this for me, but I couldn't find one in my literally one google search.

What about big Mac.

If Big Mac were involved too... deal would be a Whopper

I gave up on these guys thinking they were a bunch of jabronis. I’m back in

Blues lost their 5th straight.

2 pts, -4 hmmmm

I'm just focused on the quality of the first round pick we are getting. I think it's top 10 protected too

Top ten gives Blues option to defer to 2019 but costs them their 2020 3rd if they do.

What a trade. Hextall is great with these conditions

Especially since this trade occurred in the middle of the moving first round of the draft

Provorov scores 20 seconds in

Hagg....2-0

Sens not interested in playing today for obvious reasons. We might put a crooked number up on the board

Hakstol successfully challenges a goal, still 2-1
