Does it sound like it?

Man, he just started getting used to Philly steak subs

 

[SEALBound]

That's not moving the needle for LA against others in the west. But for a 3rd, it's fine.

Nice to see that Briere is awake today.

Wasting a pick on a player that doesn't move the needle at all for a team that's headed for a 1st rd exit? Sounds like a Blake move

 

[FlyguyOX]

Wow, Fanny fleeced. No way 50% retention on Kuzmenko is worth less than a full retention Beauvillier.

Kuz>Beau without a doubt.

 

[bleuetbio]

I like it for LA. Low cost high rewards. Kuz has the capacity to hit a game changer status even if this scenario is unlikely

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This is Blake just saying he's doing something

Like when my dad was working on a massive project in the garage and gave me a board to hammer some nails into

At this point, feels like PHI gave Frost and Farabee away

 

[Kiorei]

I'm starting to think that the Flyers GM isn't very good at his job.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Have to admit

If it wasn't my team I would be impressed by the committment to mediocrity

Can we change our logo to one leg in the pool one leg out

 

[Osprey]

I like it for LA. He's not a game changer, but consider that he's likely replacing Turcotte on the top line. That's an upgrade. I like Alex, but he's faded as the season has gone on and he's liable to be invisible in the playoffs. Now, Kopitar and Kempe have a more veteran linemate and maybe playing with them will get the most out of Kuzmenko. He did score 39 goals only a couple of years ago. Even if it was a fluke, I'm not going to complain about Kopitar and Kempe having someone with at least that capability on their wing.

Felt like that when they did it, too.

Yeah, Danny B's tenure is not looking good so far.

Kempe dumping the puck into the zone, forechecking like a madman, getting the puck back, and looking for his linemates who have yet to cross the redline

Seems like more of a moore-danault-kuzmenko line thing but I guess the flexibility/options it gives them is the point

 

[benfranklin]

lol 3 teams in one year

Man, he just started getting used to Philly steak subs

What the hell is this

This is awful return for the Flyers, they should have received more for Kuzmenko at 50% retained.
