arnott isn't a good faceoff man and i doubt moore is interested in a 4c role but perhaps homer has other ideas.
- OrangeBlack27



arnott is better at faceoffs than talbot

over 50% 3 of the last 4 seasons
not exactly mind blowing but not bad

He had jake resigning before anyone eles term and money and he called semin to the canes a day before it happened
- griouxmvp2012


No he didn't. The Czech press had Voracek signing first late on Wednesday night our time and then it was reported on twitter and here at HB about 35 mins prior to genuine conformation. He posted it shortly thereafter.

Also, there were at least 3 reports out there, including TSN, that Carolina was apparently close to signing Semin.

(changing the subject because that trade is not worth commenting on further)

Did you guys check out that link I just posted? Found that comment about Crosby breaking G's wrist real interesting. Explains the hit he put on Cindy.

Show of hands of people that believe this?

Also, show of hands of people that consider themselves idiots?

I predict 0 for the latter. Hopefully the same for the former.

Hey, if you want an older player that is coming off injury, in which his last team basically gave him away, then that might be available.

Honestly, I don't think I'd even do it if Sbisa was coming back in the deal, and I'm a huge Sbisa fan.

The most I'd give up for Ryan would be Laughton / MAB /1st / 2nd or Cousins. And Anaheim would reject that.

- TheGreat28


some of you guys are a head scratchers...

so everyone's stance is "NO COUTURIER OR SCHENN FOR RYAN"

ok, so the flyers offer their 3rd line forward, 3rd pairing dman, a first round pick, and a prospect 2 years from hitting NHL ice for a TOP FLIGHT TOP LINE forward?

and people scoff at this too?

Mezaros helps the salaries match for another move to be made mid season.

i'm SURE something (even if it's just a later round pick or d prospect) else comes back to the flyers. but i do this



depth is great and all...

Bill - you amaze me. You use your real name so you are one of the few that are mostly serious. On top of that, you have great knowledge and insight that I'll assume most of us enjoy.

How many of the posts do you read here? I won't speak for others, but there is a lot of clowning going on here. I feel like you are lurking in the background and when a serious topic comes up - boom!

You actions may warrant the nickname of an old, great TV show - "The White Shadow".

he was extraordinary in 10-11. not a bad gamble for some, particularly a floor team, but cap hit could be a bit much for us.
