Here is my Question. Now that Nash has gone to the Rags, did Poile judt gain leverage on Homer? Now dont we NEED Weber and CAN'T let him walk with the blueshirts getting that much better?? I think this poorly timed Rags deal hurts our position at the bargaining table. Couldnt they have waited 2 more days????

noway, jailbirdrobert has flyers gettin him for picks

Your not taking him seriously either

poile has noe leverage if the preds ceo wont match

or brodin or siemens or baertschi. maybe dougie goes in the top 5 if things shake out differently
- Crimsoninja

so if couts went higher discounting his mono that would somehow make dougie also go higher? i think you're reaching here.

yea i dont follow him, i just find it funny he gets the green light to match... wouldnt it just be ok were matching..
- Slammed81

I think if he got the green light to match it would have been done before hockeyinsidurrrrrr had the chance to tweet about it.

It makes it a better deal for Rangers cause he stuck it to Homer a bit...We do the same to them that what makes the rivalry good it goes on all year on and off the ice

I'm sorry. Didn't we just beat Malkin, Crosby, Staal, Letang, and Fluery in the playoffs last year? Why are you guys so scared?

yay, my hockeybuzz ban is now over and I can finally comment on Weber again.

if he gives up only the picks, he wins by a landslide. if he subs some picks with players he still probably wins. Just as long as he doesn't give up Bschenn or Couts.

i'm with you there

like i said earlier, i think the fact that Ryan's value has lessened due to this trade...Holmgren might be even more content to stand firm on this Weber deal and allow whatever is going to happen, happen.

i still like our defense even if Weber isn't signed, and we still have plenty of assets to grab Bobby Ryan +

On the Nash deal, I think the Rangers did well holding on to Stepan and Kreider. On MDZ, did Columbus really want him after getting Jack Johnson last year?

I also see Dubinsky having a bounce back year in Columbus. Anisimov and Dubi were hell on the Flyers and I'm happy to see them out of NY.

I think the deal looks worse for Columbus right now because the expectations for what Nash would bring back were set too high.

sso if couts went higher discounting his mono that would somehow make dougie also go higher? i think you're reaching here.
- Don'tForgetTocchet

im saying that, to me, evaluating that trade to include Couts doesnt work

its all hindsight

Cause the Rangers kicked our ass last year and just got better....

not scared but as i recall, the rags SWEPT us last year and King henry and the other 7 goalies they have packed into the net make it a little hard to score

The rangers have a top 3 defensive unit in the league. McDonough is a perennial all star.

yay, my hockeybuzz ban is now over and I can finally comment on Weber again.

I dont think they did. Thier forwards are not as good defensively, which was what gave the Flyers fits. IMO they just became easier to score on, and you saw that we can beat the Penguins at offense, and I dont think the Rangers are as good as Pitt at offense.

in defense of another poster I called someone here "condescending".

I guess I hit a nerve.

Talk about playing both sides of the fence LOL

IF Weber says he has ZERO interest to pursue his career with #Preds, Poile will try to work an advantageous deal with #Flyers.
