At this point I wouldn't mind a half season lock out. If not then I hope Homer doesn't over pay either with money or players for a d-man. This might be a tough season, but there is a good young core I don't want traded away.

You never know things might not be as bad as they look on paper.

It's likely that Hartnell is re-signed by then. And the Flyers will be in the playoff picture all Season.

How he went after Weber, the preds just matched the offer. He kept the core young guys. I'm not seeing how he screwed up.

I see the theme for today is the sky's falling!!! the sky's falling!!!...

We start hitting the panic button when another one of Timonen, Coburn, Grossmann, Schenn get hurt. But to say this isnt a playoff team is absolutely ludicrous.

well jvr was a bust
homer missed out on suter, weber, and parise
mezzy is screwed

Yeah brutal review of Holmgren's comings and goings this offseason. Holmgren, to me is trying in any way shape or form to acquire whatever pieces he can to mold this team into the best chance at winning a cup.

None of these were Homer's fault. He went after them it just didn't work. Wait I forgot Homer made sure Mezzy got injured.

CC is a pretzel. Guy is constantly injured. Why bring him here?
- PLindbergh31

One year puck moving Dman for a reasonable price. MAB is a question mark. They need some bodies to hold the fort until Maz is back. Not liking some of the possible solutions out their. I'd ty to compensate the Islanders fo Visnovsky, maybe a 2 and 5, but not sure that would do it.

Right because he knew that Mezzy was going to get injured and how would Ryan help the d?

So he should have parted with Couturier, B. Schenn and whatever else to facilitate the Weber deal?

$7.8M cap hit. That scenario just doesn't make sense with the group he currently has.
