Philly phones it in already

[OpIv37]

Traded LeCavalier and Luke Schenn to LA for a prospect and a pick, and likely ate half of Vinny's salary to make the cap hit palatable for LA.

Tank on!

Vinny is worthless

[Dr. Lecter]

This won't hurt them much. Schenn is decent, but Lecavalier has one assist this year.

And the same number of goals that you or I have.

Life without goals isn't much of a life, lecter

Can we get Neuvirth from them?

[JATMtheJATM]

I wanted neuvirth back in the summer.

Can we get Neuvirth from them?

I don't think Neuvirth would accept a trade, considering that he torched that bridge with the Sabres after he was traded away.

[chernobylwraiths]

Is Neuvirth the new shiny toy that we disguarded when it looked tarnished? He didn't distinguish himself much while here and had good stretches when he was in Washington. IMO, he probably could be a decent starter and very good backup.

[SpikedLemonade]

How dare Philly attempt to tank this year.

Don't they know to do it properly takes multiple years?

[chernobylwraiths]

I have no problem with it. Actually, I think it is a smart move if they have decided the Vinny and Schenn don't really fit in their long term plans, and I assume that they don't.

Now honestly, I don't think Philly is in full tank mode until they unload Giroux or however you spell it. Man, why do hockey names have to be so difficult.

[JATMtheJATM]

A retiring forward? A 3rd pairing dman? That's tanking? Please

I prefer the french names over the Viscislav Androgeninjecshinov.

You tell them Jam. In this subject, you are the expert.

It's two guys who are in the lineup nightly traded for prospects and picks who won't be there for a while, if ever.

No it's not. Lecavalier is a healthy scratch most nights.

[JATMtheJATM]

You are right. I don't hold it against teams to realize a rebuild is necessary and trading pieces for picks and prospects

That's tanking? Sounds like a trade to me

[mightysimi]

Both of those guys are not good at this point. Their production can easily be replaced by younger and cheaper players.
