Let's put it this way, I'm picking up decent overtime. Doesn't do much for the lost sleep, though. At least it's during the cold months!

Im going to make it really wild in here.

I know Coots has potential, but he has had one decent season. I think the Flyers overhype some players too soon. Sclar in 3... 2... 1....

(not to say he isnt good, or wont be)

I agree with you. He has a ton of potential, but until he does it consistently it's just potential.

There's ten people female doging at moving him for Bobby Ryan a 4 time 30 goal scoring power winger that wouldn't hesitate to trade him for Keith Yandle, a good offensive defenseman who is less physical than the hated Matt Carle.

Flyers have enough physical defensemen in Coburn, Schenn and Grossmann. They need a puck mover more so than a 30 goal scorer. Hell Hartnell has been about a 25 goal a year, there are goal scorers on this team. Ryan would be a nice addition but he wouldn't fix the problems here.

They lost 2-1 last night. They could have used Ryan.

Trading Couturier for Ryan doesn't eliminate the possibility of getting a defenseman. There's not a rule I'm aware of that limits teams to 3 trades per summer.

Maybe the full deal would see them get a defenseman back, along with Ryan. Again, you're allowed to make trades with more than one or two guys.

I'm not disagreeing that they need a defenseman more than a 30+ goal winger. I am saying that it's dumb to just dismiss it as stupid without looking at all the possible ramifications and possibilities.

I don't know if I'd even agree to it. I'd be fine if they just moved Read+ for Bouwmeester(getting some cap eaten by CGY) or Yandle
