Welcome back to The Hockey Writers Ink. Relax the Keyboard is off, the press box is closed but the mic is just getting warmed up! This week we thought what better way to celebrate our next great show than having the man, the myth, the legend Bill Meltzer writer from www.nhl.com/Flyers and hockeybuzz.com join us to talk about his latest series of articles on just who might be the next player to be called into the Flyers Hall of Fame. In this segment we take a look back to the times when these players donned the Orange and Black sweater and hold a round table discussion on just who each one of us thinks will be next to receive the call.

On our second segment my Co-Host Steel and I go on to discuss the latest edition of my series: Camp Battles set to Ensue (Defensemen Edition). This position battle is perhaps the one with the most NHL ready talent just waiting for their shot. So many players, so few available spots! Watch as we debate our picks on who might be victorious when camp commences as these players are actively vying for a spot on the Flyers crowed blue line.
Next up we dive into to my latest article: Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures: How the Flyers May Cash in on Other Teams’ Losses. Where I found two teams that have fallen on hard times as of late when they both lost a big name unrestricted free agent to another team, and still have another on the open market. With these teams now desperate for scoring the Flyers should look to take advantage of these teams’ misfortunes and unload an albatross like contract in their laps.
