Who woulda thunk it?

Jim Johnson(RIP). Brian Westbrook(36). Donovan Mcnabb(5). Brian Dawkins(20). Sheldon Brown(24). Jeremiah Trotter(54).

Thanks for the memories...

This whole trade was complete bullshit.

And can someone tell me why we signed Jody Shelley?

More to come

I’m sure one of our d-men will either be traded or sent down to the miners to create cap room… We don’t need 8 defenders

It will have to be a trade because I don’t think any of them have a 2 way contract and thus the only way to get them to the AHL would be through waivers, at which point you run the risk of what happened last year when the team put Randy Jones through waivers and he was then claimed by another team and the Flyers had to pay half his salary to play for someone else.

Really this is just Holmgren being the idiot that he is.

Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.
