Is it just me or is Charlie Coyle saving Bostons season all by his self? Dude is on fire.

I think hes had a little help and not to mention Rask has been very good.

Def he has but good lord he has done more than they probably thought he would for sure.

If they hold all responsible we'd never see JVR on the ice all season.

Three Defensemen The Flyers Should Try To Add This Offseason

Spurgeon is a new name thrown into the mix

Wonder what he would cost? Ghost and a pick?

Im not sure id have to look into his play. Im not really familiar with him. If it would cost us Ghost and a pick that means he is pretty good.

I looked at his stats and on the surface it doesn't seem like much of an upgrade over Ghost. The only thing is he shoots righty.

I wouldn't do a Ghost plus a pick for him

I think he is a better defender.

Ya I don’t have much of an opinion on Spurgeon. Can’t say I’ve ever really watched him closely or that he stood out to me. The Wild never get past the 1st round though, that’s when I get my western games in haha

People value him really highly though. Some of the national writers and O’Connor at The Athletic.

Like Chy said, RH and better defensively. Tough for me to weigh in on what I’d give for him though.

Damn it's looking like another team from Boston will win another championship. Must be nice. Last year they had the Red Sox. This year the Pats and now I don't see anyone beating the Bruins. At least the Celtics went down. I would love for Philly at some point to achieve this. It's pretty difficult to do.

I don't know about that. SJ and St. Louis both look pretty strong too. Could just be me trying to be optimistic, but those are some really good teams. I don't think Boston has played anyone as deep as either of them.

Rask is locked in though, I'll give you that.

Ha Chy this is a given anyone is a better defender that Ghost. The problem i have would be giving up and extra young player on top of ghost being a young player for a 30 year old defender. But i have to say i would like a shake up of this team so if it happens i wouldn't say much.

This doesn't surprise me as i have Boston and St Louis cup final and i have already won my pool.

Who Are The Philadelphia Flyers Untouchables In A Potential Trade?

Who Are The Philadelphia Flyers Untouchables In A Potential Trade?

I would add Provorov to the list. IMO, he's a guy you have to just take the leap of faith with. He's shown he can be a #1 dman in the league, he's 22, and he's an RFA this summer. You should have the ability to lock him down for 5+ years on a reasonable cap hit, and reap the benefits for years. It won't be quite as nice as Nashville getting a #1 dman (Josi) for 4M for the past 6 years (plus next year), but you have to take the gamble that a big contract now gets a #1 dman on a steal of a contract. I'd make the same bet on Sanheim this summer or Myers next summer as well. Then you have 2-3 good/great defensemen locked up on reasonable deals.

Perhaps a better comparable is Carolina. They took the leap of faith with Slavin in 2017, signed him to a big extension, but in year 1 of his contract he already looks like a massive steal at 5.3M. Took the same gamble and got Pesce on a steal at 4M. And they learned this way back in 2014 when they signed Faulk to a big deal, who's now also a good deal at 4.8M.

I agree 100%

The Philadelphia Flyers will have to make some decisions on their own free agents

Myers added to Canada's WC team! Should be good experience and a good confidence boost for him.
