All these guys could for the most part be traded in the summer.

If this organization resists the temptation to make big moves now and properly evaluates themselves along with the rest of the league I will be happy. Make moves in the summer.

boruk and timp just said mezzy was trade bait
- mydoglicks


Really? A player with a year left on his contract, and his injury issues? At least Tim P has been around the game a long time. Boruk doesn't have the first clue.

Regarding clowe trade. The 3rd rounder involved is originally floridas which could be the first pick in the 3rd round. I'd say the sharks win this deal

2nd & 3rd rounders for a guy with less goals than Martin Brodeur? Yeah, i'd say they did OK

The 0 goals this year is an anomaly. Rangers got a solid player. Without having to give up a first. Decent return for the Sharks.

Points well taken. It wasn't for a lack of effort. But focusing on Suter and Parise was by in large a waste of time. They weren't coming here regardless of what contracts were offered. And with the benefit of hindsight you can say the calculated risk signing Weber to an offer sheet was a mistake. If the Flyers desperately wanted Weber they could have had him by offering Nashville a fair trade package.
- PLindbergh31

Yes agree completely

We don't know and probably never will, what was offered, denied or requested. I personally believe the flyers did offer a kings ransom but Nashville refused to let go. Now I hope they choke on that contract and move to Quebec, (frank) you poile your stupid ass could show NASCAR races on the jumbo tron and fill that building.

Why they are still to a degree hanging organizational success largely on the shoulders of Marleau/Thornton is beyond me.

After losing a player like Prust this is a good move by the Rangers.

The Flyers imo didn't need Clowe when they have Hartnell and Simmonds. Rather they look to add speed and playmaking ability.

The Atlantic is getting tougher and tougher.

With that new playoff scheme they will have going, times could get hard.

I try and avoid any Tim P/Boruk videos. If Meszaros' career is over. Those guys have info that apparently nobody else has.

I'm glad they didn't get Clowe. Flyers have bigger needs.

Mez did look hesitant out on the ice this year. That could be from the achillies injury though (takes time).

The shoulder issue should be cleaned up. It will probably still cause some problems though.

For the Flyers, that wouldn't have made a ton of sense.

The NHL allowed a special buyout for every team to use.
