Which of the defensive prospects is/are most likely to make the team this year? I'm assuming its Ghost but am happy to be corrected.

Really like what Hextall did Friday-Saturday.

if any, provorov is my guess. i'd assume none, though. ghost's knee likely to mean ahl to start.

Way more comfortable viewing ghost as second pairing guy now too.

Love the first line of Panotch's article:

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Flyers found themselves some salary cap relief hours after the NHL draft ended Saturday, but the fallout is somewhat confusing.

CSN "insider" can't explain shit. It wasn't that confusing. Broad Street Hockey actually did a great job of explaining it. Douchebag.

Is there any reason to get our sports news from anywhere other than the Philly SBNation blogs?

Kapadia and Bodner excluded, of course.

Favorite recent Panotch:

Indications are, Terry Murray will be part of Hakstol's staff

very puzzling. Terry Murray seemed all but locked in to join Hakstol's staff weeks ago and now BUF has hired him


OR MAYBE you were wrong and don't know anything??

Can't say enough how excited I am by what happened over the weekend. Holmgren probably would have traded #7 for Sam Gagner

I'd rather keep Gagner and buyout Vinny.

Wouldn't you still be stuck with his monster cap hit though......just like the Kings and Richards?

Gagner is a great buyout candidate because due to his age and the buyout rules his cap hit would be next to nothing.

And managed to make Boston worse at the same time.

i'm so used to the flyers doing incredibly dumb things that i don't know how to process this.

turning a 6th round migraine into a 3rd yeeeee

Start working on the statue

i made a joke about using the empty beer and soda cans we have stashed up to cash in when I go down to Oregon(yes, my roommate and I are, in fact, performing the Seinfeld can scheme to make like $60) to build a statue of Hextall after the draft. i might actually do it now.

hexy da gawd

but really is there anything else to this trade? money? blackmail?

He also got a 3rd for Ty McGinn. He is excellent in trading players.
