The trades came fast and furious, but the decisions to deal can be vast and dangerous.
The NHL's trade deadline came and went today, and as the Flyers regroup for the playoff push, it becomes a time to look at the deals that went down to see what it means for the Orange and Black.
Yesterday, the Flyers made a trade that brought Andrew MacDonald into the fold, in attempts to solidify their blueline. The Flyers traded a second and third round pick, as well as a low prospect for the veteran.

Here is the long-awaited part three of An Eagles Forecast, where I will make decisions on the final 23 players on the roster. If you missed part one, click here; part two, click here.
Bennie Logan, NT: He was the proud recipient of some more playing time after the trade of Issac Sopoaga. He finished the season with 27 total tackles and two sacks, and with some experience under his belt, expect Logan to make more of an impact this upcoming season. STAYS
Travis Long, LB: As with Joe Kruger, the Eagles kept Long on the roster for the entire 2013 season. The organization obviously sees something in him, so expect to hear Long's name a lot during Training Camp and perhaps even the regular season. STAYS
Jeremy Maclin, WR: Chalk this one up in the "I knew that the Eagles would sign both Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin back" column. Don't believe me? Check part one! In all seriousness though, I can't wait to see how Maclin performs in Chip Kelly's offense. Should be a fun season. STAYS
Jeff Maehl, WR: A former Oregon Duck, Maehl was brought in via a trade late in the preseason. He didn't really do much. This is an easy decision. GOES

Welcome to another edition of "Coast to Coast", the first post All-Star edition. The playoff picture is beginning to take shape, and those playoffs teams will be the ones that are focused on from now on. No mention of any bottom-dwellers here (except for those things I find funny), except for the beloved Sixers, of course. Let's get to it!

- For all the talk about how LeBron James is a physical specimen and how he could be a dominant tight-end in football. Stop. The dude got smacked in the nose and went down like there was a sniper in the building. There's no way he could deal with the physicality of the NFL. All I'm saying is, for such a body, he sure acts like a baby when he gets a cramp or smacked in the face. Also, Derek Fisher did this to him.

As the buzzer sounded ending the game and the Finnish blue and white flag ascended into the air of the Bolshoy Ice Dome, a long and successful reign might have come to a just ending.
A diminutive defenseman on the winning team that night has been doing it since the sun coalesced into the giant fusion reaction in the sky, it seems. He has played for his country since 1994, when he was 17 years old, but a wise 17-year-old nonetheless.

A Letter to Kevin Love

Dear Mr. Kevin Love,
There's been a lot of speculation over what's going to happen in 18 months, when you are eligible to opt-out of your contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. People have been saying that you want out of Minnesota because you want to go to a place where you can compete. There are rumors that you will go to Los Angeles, close to home, where you spent your college days at UCLA. But I ask you, if you want to compete, why go to a team with no young talent or clear future? Being home is great, but being a champion contender is even better. That's what Philadelphia can offer you. Shocking, I know, but let me paint a picture for you.

Sixers Trade Deadline Recap

Sam Hinkie has done it again. Eight months after making the biggest splash at the draft, Hinkie did it again at the trade deadline. He completely reshaped the Sixers roster within a few hours, partaking in four separate trades and making the Sixers future a little less murky. Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner are gone, Thad Young is still in town, and I'm loving every second of it. The Sixers are stockpiling draft picks at every turn, and keeping their cap space clear for the future. Here's a recap of all of today's Sixers action.

- First off, let's give the Sixers a round of applause. If you haven't been on twitter, over the past couple weeks there has been a movement to get Kevin Grow, a Bensalem High School senior with
Trisomy 21(school's killing me) Down Syndrome, on SportsCenter after he scored 14 points and hit three from beyond-the-arc in a two game stretch. Well, Kevin did get on SportsCenter, but that was just the beginning. Kevin actually signed a two-day ceremonial contract with the Sixers, where he received his own custom jersey and participated in pre-game activities with the team last night.
