THREAD: Claude Giroux is not accompanying the @NHLFlyers to Ottawa. He is staying back while Chuck Fletcher puts the finishing touches on a trade.
A deal is not yet final, but I'm told it's going to be with the Florida Panthers.

- Well, Torts just lit me up in his press conference about Kevin Hayes. Completely unprompted. That ought to be a joy for everyone for the next couple days.
- Flames in the outfield? We’re gonna have some new additions to the Jhoan Duran Light show, aren’t we?

- This trade that the @NHLFlyers are pulling off is going to be huge. Hearing several names from the NHL roster involved. Hold your horses people.
- Danny Briere just hit a frigging home run. The @NHLFlyers are getting a generational talent. Be happy Flyers fans.
- I’m seeing fans bitching about a conflict between football & baseball Thursday. If you are truly conflicted between watching the 7-0 Eagles play the 1-5-1 Texans in a mostly meaningless game & watching the @Phillies in Game 5 of the #WorldSeries you need to turn in your fan card.
