Hextall's next move

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

has Miller even given any indication he would come back east.

 

[Pantokrator]

I'm really interested in Galchenyuk for futures. Depending on the contract, could be worth parting with the two 2018 firsts.

I have never seen Galchenyuk play. His numbers seem uninspiring. What makes him a good player to obtain? Does he have upside? You'd think after 5 years his numbers would be better unless this is all he is going to give.

Haven't heard but if he would then he should be a target. Realistically who needs a starting goaltender??

Calgary, Vancouver and us (maybe the Jets). If your Miller i'd think were the most attractive option by far. I know his wife is from the west coast but if he was going to resign with the worst team in the league (Canucks) it would've happened already imo. If we could get Miller and a viable top 4 dman things would be looking real good for 2017/2018 imo

Calgary traded for Mike Smith. So scratch them off the list.

Didn't CAL pick up Smith from ARZ?

I would rather have Mason but I could see Hexy squeeze DAL for one of their goalies in exchange for Lehtera maybe.

We still have way too many holes to part with a future first rd pick. Were all excited about the prospects but until they step in and actually produce we have a team that's roster is not good enough to make the playoffs and likely will be bottom 5-10. Now if Sanheim, Patrick, Morin, Lindbolm, Konecny all contribute to their potential then were talking about a team that can be a huge surprise (similar to Leafs in 2016/17) if they all struggle its going to be painful watching this team defend and try and score goals again (especially with Hakstol as a coach)

Your right... even better for us (forgot about that)

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Wonder if Dallas would be interested in Lehtera for G Kari Lehtonen.

Hextall's next move

 

[Pantokrator]

HAHAHAHAHA! I remember that "play" by Hextall. I think it was Anderson who clipped him and he took out his frustration on the next player to come his way, which was the pacifistic Kent Nilsson.

 

[Hurricane28]

To the legs of Andrew MacDonald

Goalscoring ability at a bargain caphit. Galchenyuk would be the best ES goalscorer on the Flyers.

Hextall is trying hard to re-sign Jordan Weal. "He's a FA. I can't grab him by the throat" and make him re-sign. "He has choices," he said.

 

[The Madrigal]

The fact that he still sucks

He's a decent goalie if used in tandem or a really good backup. More importantly options are limited which makes saying "he sucks" without commenting on what you would do extremely irritating.

Thanks!

 

[The Madrigal]

The Schenn trade is a clear indicator that Hextall is far more concerned about winning two, three, four years from now as opposed to this coming season. All the more reason that trading assets for a goalie is probably unwise when you can just sign someone like Bernier or Elliott to platoon with Neuvirth and hope that one of the younger goalies is ready to take a big step up over the next couple of years.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Flyers drafted 1 dman at the end of the draft, why in any world would Hextall sign/trade for a dman. He's clearly expecting the young players to make this roster.

 

[SuchySays]

Talk about overreacting about Filppula.. his deal is done after this year.

I had that visual for a brief bit and laughed.

Nothing's stopped him before, why stop now?

It's even funnier when you realize, considering it was Carchidiot, that the question he was probably asked Hextall was "Hey Ron, can you grab Weal by the throat and force him to re-sign?"

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Does anyone know how much money we will have for free agency,

What would be a good target.

Also how will our team look as far as lines,

Also AHL there lines

Be interesting

Grubauer would be my target, I've been clear before that I prefer to exhaust the trade market. The Capitals are a good target since they lack draft picks, we have extra assets now. He is arbitration-eligible RFA. Division rivals or not, I think something can be done there.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Well this is... interesting.



I mean, it was a given they were signing or trading for a vet goalie, but still.

To me, that actually sounded like something that Bob Clarke would have said.
