Decent player but I'd sooner add to Bishop to get something better. Otherwise, it might be just as well to hang on to Bishop for insurance in the playoffs.

Insurance for the scenario where Lehner AND are injured?

It's pretty much the worst time ever in the NHL to be attempting to trade a goalie. There are several on the market, and no one has moved. So Bishop may not fetch as much as we hope. And how long is it worth holding on to him, hoping for the market to improve? He pretty much needs to be gone by September.

If It's Fedetenko and a 2nd for Bishop... you basically got what you paid for him (higher 2nd than what the Sens would have been) plus a guy who does play well in the playoffs and adds some depth. Makes sense for sure and I wouldn't be too upset with it. He's a decent player, nothing special but solid.

In theory, someone could sign Bishop to an offer sheet this off-season, and we'd get a 3rd rounder back (up to $1.6M) or a 2nd rounder (up to $3.3M).

So I'm guessing the minimum we'll get is a 2nd rounder...but I'd rather have a player.

I'm not sure Fedetenko is an upgrade over any of our current wingers, but he does have experience, can play a 2-way game, and can generate some offense,

Book(mark)ed.

Next season's D looks something like this right?
Karlsson - Methot
Cowen - Wiercioch - Wiercioch would be pencilled in IMO.
Phillips - ??

Wiercioch doesn't play the right side. We will likely re-sign Gonchar (he hasn't been booed all season). It's already been said (in another thread?) that Phillips will be the #7.

Methot back at practice, and allegedly looking a little better. No Gonchar at practice.

I can't see MacLean making a guy who wears an 'A' be a healthy scratch.

So he won't have the 'A' next year ? I can't see that happening either, he'll have it til he retires.

Brian Lee on waivers? Hell, I'd take him as a 6/7 guy to play the right side.

They may well decide to rotate like this year. Yes, I know why they're doing it this year. Bottom line is, you don't decide who sits and who plays based on a patch. If he's better than one of the guys who plays on the left, then he plays.

If we're getting a 2nd back, that's different; they can turn around and waive Fedetenko after that for all I care. But no Fedetenko + 4ths for me, please and thanks.

2nd + Nick Cousins

End of the road for young Philly? Wow. Wasn't expecting that. All the best and thanks for the memories, Big Rig.

Big Rig, we hardly knew ye...

Methot says he'll play tomorrow.

It was fun while it lasted, Philly.
