As if the Flames defense isn't big and strong as it is. If we play them in the 1st round again, we better be able to match up physically. I know we did last year, but things can change, especially with injuries on the roster. I just hope Mac or someone else with grit can be a regular by then.

I just heard this myself... leaves me somewhat confused.

I thought the Flyers wanted guys like Vandermeer on their team heading into the playoffs?

So basically they traded Eager for a 3rd?

vandermeer is the kind of guy i want. tsn calls him "tough as nails", a top four defenseman with scoring potential and i know he isnt afraid to throw his weight around. sounds like the gritty defenseman with a mean streak we all want.

Good deal for Calgary. Edmonton Calgary games will be even better now!!

Basically the kind of guy Holland would never sign.

So essentially, with the exchange of 3rd round picks, Philly just traded Vandermeer for Modry.
