Randall Flagg Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 The contract is enough that I'm not super interested, but he'd make this team I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sobotka somehow ends up on LW rather than the 4C, could have a completely new set of LW's from last season. Not for 3 years of him. I'd rather start Asplund in Buffalo then deal with 3 years of Smith's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't an easy leap to make to a mascot. The easiest is to a bird like creature or a 1910's barnstorming aviator but neither of those exude the image they want for the Flyers so they went to the Insane Clown Posse's version of the Phillie Phanatic. God Bless Sabretooth. They should have embraced all things Philly and made the mascot a giant 9 volt battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 @TheFourthPeriod Boucher made it clear the Smith/waivers decision was from up top. Seems quite clear the Sens tried to rid themselves of Smith's $3.25M annual salary. Melynk doing everything possible to make the Sens as attractive/cheap of a purchase to potential buyers.

That's crazy because it would have been convincing that he just isn't an NHL player anymore at that cap hit, but no, it had nothing to do with hockey and came from Eugene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
