I completely take back what I said about Larkin btw.
Requesting a trade after over a decade of your teams incompetence is fine.
Handicapping that team to three destinations is embarrassing.
This isn't me defending Yzerman, he's terrible. But let Larkin rot in Detroit now.
Just want to clarify one thing, as I see a lot of places misreporting. One of the players I spoke at length with this week was Jack Hextall. He is a distant relative of Ron Hextall; the prospect's father is his cousin. Jack has never met Ron.
Morning from the last day of NHL Scouting Combine, where players are doing fitness testing.
#Flyers spoke w/approx. 50 players this week, including — Command, Dagenais, Mutryn, Villeneuve, Cullen, Cali, Hextall, Lin, Sokolovskii, Cover, and Zielinski.
Will find out more today.
Claude Lemieux killed himself the other day. One of the beacons of the NHL. June is Men's Mental Health Month.
It's not "I like to have sexy time with someone who is the same sex as me and look at me in my parade" month.
The fact that any team in the NHL would do this shit on the heels of losing Claude is pure trash. They're 4% of the population and 98% of them don't even know what icing is.
Fellas, if you're feeling like you hit rock bottom and you don't have any other way out, you do. Reach out to anyone. Call a friend you haven't spoken with in forever and a day, and just say hi.
The suicide hotline is 1-800-273-8255, or 988. Reach out. You're worth it.
Rumors have been swirling about John Carlson and it sounds like the #Flyerrz are open to bringing him in at the right dollar value.
I tackle that - along w/ the latest I've heard about Ristolainen and center targets - in my latest for @DailyFaceoff.
