Was a 1st round pick and 2 unsigned draft picks for the pens.

What was the rumor regarding the Flyers? What were they asking from us?
- Flyersgod

I dont think the flyers were in it..

Assuming Iggy gets re-signed in Pittsburgh, doesn't that mean Letang is out the door?
- KGBflyers10

It'd certainly complicate their contract woes. Just throwing this out there, anybody else see them possibly trading MAF to open up room to comfortably keep both Letang and Malkin?

It's just a hair less than they are paying Gustafsson, Gervais and Foster combined, and Murray would be redundant.

He's a slow, stay at home, physical defenseman who has a bad habit of blowing coverage.

The highly respected Sharks blog www.fearthefin.com rejoiced at getting rid of him and was ecstatic at the return. They said that Murray had been the Sharks worst defensemen for the past two years.

Its an entire strawman argument.

Have fun with it.

I would.. He is horrible IMO.

True story:

1990 - the future Mrs. Wedgie and I had gone out for a "nice dinner" while at university (in Kingston, Ontario). So we are walking back from the restaurant, wondering what to do for the evening. We walk by one of the more popular bars in downtown Kingston - typical dance bar, but they did have a little room up front which was their sports bar. The sandwich board out front said they had the Tyson-Douglas fight on - cover of (iirc) $5.

So I say to the future Mrs. Wedgie, "How about you let me watch Tyson punch out this tomato can - shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, and then we will go to the dance bar." She agreed.

After one round, I ran to the pay phone (kids: there was a time when we didn't have cell phones) and phoned my university housemates - you have to get down here right now - Tyson is going to lose. One guy said he couldn't be bothered, the other guy hoped in a car and was at the bar for the start of round 4.

So the fight is unbelievable, of course. But the bar was pretty empty - nobody had cared about the fight. At the end, me, the future Mrs. Wedgie and my buddy are jumping up and down, screaming, high fiving each other - one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever watched.

And then the bartender turns the TVs (all of them!) to a hockey game. WTF?!?!?!

I plead with him - this is the greatest upset in boxing history - can we please watch the post-fight interviews and analysis?

The bartender says, "sorry, but the way our satellite system works, we can't show two different things - we only have one receiver.

"And see that old guy sitting in the corner? That's Kirk Muller's dad, and he wants to watch his son play hockey. "

I'd figure they'd at least ask. I haven't been keeping up with hockey lately. Game has become way to boring and predictiable.

We're blaming the PCS

But yeah, I'm old
- Jsaquella

you're a pup

the pens were already a legit contender. i don't like what they're doing over there if i were a pens fan (vomiting in mouth). too much tinkering. big names. especially iggy who's been a flame forever. not easy to get moved late and fit right in. this stuff normally does not work.

Oh.. answering questions with questions is fun..

Why wouldn't he be?
- Flyersgod

Because he's not that good anymore. San Jose who is in the playoff hunt gave him away.

I would.. He is horrible IMO.

He might be somewhat overrated, but horrible seems to be a reach.

- BulliesPhan87

I think Letang is looking to make some money, so I don't know if it would be wise for them to trade away MAF to keep Letang around--it might handcuff them further down the line. And considering they have defensive prospects up the hizzle, it would be easier for them to replace Letang than MAF.

No kidding.

Why would the pens want him then?

No kidding.

I didn't miss much. I've known from game 1 we were gonna suck this year.

- Flyersgod

Maybe early on when they were still in it...

Why would the pens want him then?
- Flyersgod

Because they're making a Cup run, and Murrary brings something in the locker room and on the back end with snarl and toughness. He's a nice addition for a playoff push, but not certainly someone to just trade for--especially for 2.5 million dollars. Simply put, the Pens can do it because they have the cap space and the limited assets to trade away for him.

most def. the flower looks wilting to me. this spring will tell the tale.

I love the line running up the back of your stocking there.....I've always liked those kind of high heels, too.

DLR actually says this in the breakdown of that song:

If you want to quote lyrics, it at least helps to get them right.

Just sayin'.

And not for nothing, what in Hell does this have to do with the Flyers?

That's a big factor, their defensive pipeline. Folks on then Pens thread are pretty high on that Despres kid. Still, it's hard to envision letting a player like Letang go in a league where top defenseman are so rare.

Its an entire strawman argument.

Have fun with it.
- Flyersgod

It's not. A team in the playoff race was happy to move the guy for picks. That pretty much says it all.

Depth for a playoff run. You really need at least 8 NHL capable defenseman if you expect to make a long Cup run. Possibly even more.

So he isn't an upgrade over Gervais, Foster, or Gus?

Could have tried him out for the rest of the year to see if he's worth keeping. We need D help. I'd rather Murray then the bottom pairing we have atm.

If Roth doesn't get them right in concerts, I'm not too worried about getting them right on here.

Quite often we stray off topic here.

So the Flyers only have to add 5 in the off-season.
