    What did we get for Bob and what was the rationale for trading him? Couldn't he have been Bryz's backup rather than some aging, half qualified goalies?
    The reasoning was that Bryz was going to be the big-money starting goalie, and therefore Bob wasnt going to get the playing time to help develop his skill behind him.

    Flyers dealt him to CLB for a 2nd and 4th Rounder last year and another 4th Rder this year.

    Bobrovsky was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Columbus' second-round and a fourth-round picks in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and Phoenix's fourth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[7]

    2nd round pick (45th overall) Anthony Stolarz (G)
    4th round pick (177th overall) Taylor Leier (LW)

    ECHL?

    i'm not seeing that :?:

    either way....still a long ways to go to see if he is even NHL material.

    i'd rather have Bob and some Defense man vs. iyla and the crap contract.
    but then again, we might still have carter and richards if they didn't go after iyla.


    it is what it is at this point.

    saw on twitter today, homer is generally happy with the roster and has no plans on blowing it up this summer

    Thanks. My son still has an autographed Bob pic from the carnival on his wall. I wonder when he'll notice that Bob isn't on the team anymore. :lol: Funny thing about the pic is that Simmer is in it wearing a Kings jersey.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    True, he still is at least 4 years away if he keeps developing.
    Then again the Flyers would prob throw him out there next year.

    so... does this team have any shot at the playoffs?

    looks like they're closer to dead last in the conference than the 8th seed... :?

    Its a pipe dream at this point.

    8 Games to go.. 7 Points behind the 8th place Rangers.

    On the other side, they are 5 points ahead of the team with the most ping pong balls in the draft.

    Lowest 5 teams(right now) with most ping pong balls:

    5. Flyers
    4.Calgary
    3.Carolina
    2.Colorado
    1. Florida

    While he is playing great, he wouldnt be the #1 rated goalie behind this clubs defense.

    I still like what this team has done this year. Season was a disaster with the stupid schedule and injuries, but they kept all the young guys together at the deadline. And I like the mason move a lot.

    Amnesty Bryz and especially Briere (thanks for coming off the IR turdboy). Rebuild the defense...sign another vet goalie to compete/share time with Mason...grab a couple of vet wings. This team is pointed in the right direction.

    Mason played off the hook..stole a game for the team.

    Play him the rest of the season...even though I want a good pick.

    5 games to go. 5 Pts behind Rangers
