They've been looking for a legitimate top six offensive threat, somebody capable of playing on the top line. And the sense that I'm getting is a willingness to move a...

Mostly, the choice to opt for center Jett Luchanko over defenseman Zeev Buium, who is carving out a nice start to his NHL career after dominating college hockey. That’s boring though. Yawn — oh, the Flyers made their choice based on position and possibly based on Buium sharing an agent with the prospect who told them to f–k ...

Frank Nazar said he feels ready to go after being out since Dec. ...
