hab29RETIRED Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it just me or does this seem like a precursor move? Flynn seems to be a guy who would be displacing Weisse, Prust, Malhotra, Bournival and potentially moving one of these 4 up the lineup if Eller was moved. I can't see Weisse going anywhere. If the chemistry in the room wasn't so good, it could be possibly to move Prust, but can't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I know none of us are in the room, but Prust and Weise seem like real good guys in that room. Again, I'm not there, but does anyone feel like Eller's poor production and downtrodden psyche might be one of the few guys who don't help the room dynamic?

dlbalr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Nice pickup. He's cheap, a right hand shot, and isn't a UFA after the season. My quick write-up: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3633 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know the sharks were interested in moving him. Expensive. But quite the player to aquire on deadline day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Flinn got beat up by Kessel last year. Not really sure how he's a better option for the fourth line than Bournival or any of the young guys in Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, but Phil really wanted that chocolate cookie Flynn had in his pocket... No. It's the nuts in his pocket. You know, the nuts that Phil always has in his cheeks? Seriously, he's related to squirrels, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Sabres fans I know say he was a solid third liner for them. He has the second best +/- for Sabres forwards with -3 (for guys who played 30 games or more). That's... hopeful actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGC21 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Its all about depth. First Flynn and then Mitchell. Throw them together with DSP, Prust, Eller, DLR and you have a solid bottom six. Too bad Eller or Parenteau weren't dealt, the top six still has me puzzled..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs30/31 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Flinn got beat up by Kessel last year. Not really sure how he's a better option for the fourth line than Bournival or any of the young guys in Hamilton MB can see that MT does not like to play Bournival every night. Does not like to give him that many shifts when he is in the line up. Rarely see's the ice in the second half of the game (if the habs are down). Maybe MB was thinking Flinn (being a vet) will get a regular shift and not be a healthy scratch once a week? I like Bournival, but what you see is all he'll ever be playing six minutes a night with other part timers. I like coaches that show confidence in the young guys and disperse them through out their line up. Sekac on first line the other night in Anahiem. Smith was Shark for about eight minutes when he finds himself out there playing with Pavelski and Couture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEWATER77 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 in: smith-pelly, petry, Flynn + Mitchell (soon) and getting gonchar + parenteau back from injury out: sekac, pateryn, bournival, tinordi there may be some adjusting needed to get through this transition period.

Yes, the final twenty games ample oppurtunity. but you can bet that what ever MT comes up with for line combos by the end of the season.............will remain intact for most of the first play off game.

dlbalr Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It turns out that the Habs weren't the only team that had interest in Flynn. From Pierre LeBrun: A source told ESPN.com that on Saturday the Bruins offered the Sabres two second-round picks in exchange for Stewart, goalie Michal Neuvirth and depth forward Brian Flynn. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/12413157/nhl-trade-deadline-boston-bruins-gave-their-all-load-deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think Flynn has some skill, and read a scouting report that said he has the ability to put up some points as a 3rd or 4th liner, we will see I guess. We were winning with Bournival and Thomas in the lineup, no reason we can't with a better 4th line with Mitchell and Flynn. Mitchell spent some time on the west coast, so is familiar with physical games, and is a good skater and penalty killer, so looking forward to what they can bring as an infusion of experienced NHL players as opposed to rookies that Therrien isn't going to want to give ice time to anyway.
