We literally aren't. I mean, we definitely need one, but there's no pressure to get one right now. As long as we have the freedom to wait, there's no significant weakness to the Flyers bargaining position.

cant we trade for weber after this season?

Something tells me the Predators won't be the friendly trade partner they once seemed to be. Not sure why that is.

i thought everyone liked the flyers?

I really wish there was a way to pry Carlson away from Washington. If my opinion, Carlson > Yandle by a lot.

I'd love to listen to JT tear into some of the dumb Philly media after a game.

I was thinking in terms of the style of play both coaches like vs. the personnel they have on the bench.

he was there for them in the draft

wood trading lava for torts be a positive for both teams?
- nails

No. Not at all.

if bryan campbell wasnt signed to such a dumb deal i think the flyers would have made the call, hes 33, just about the same age as timmonen when he got him.
- Flyers4Life88

Even with his cap hit he might be traded.
Detroit I've heard, although I personally doubt it happens.

do you think homer buys out bryz?
- Flyers4Life88

I think he doesn't have a choice because of the length of Bryz's deal and that's regardless of Bryz's play IMO. If I was him, I'd wait til next offseason to do it. That way he doesn't have to rush to find a replacement in the next 2 months before doing so because that would definitely lead to him overpaying for one.

So you don't like Carlson as much as Yandle but you want to acquire him?

There is a side of me that would like to have 6 3/4 D men, maybe a #2 in there instead of a #1 and a #7 that plays every night.
but that's just me i guess.

BTW, for all the crap everyone gives the Flames for the Jbow deal, he does have one more year under contract at 6.5M, which would be more than 10% or next years cap.
Cap relief alone was worth something.

And what is Yandle's AAV?

Whoops, typo.

Would have probably been traded for Pronger if he was drafted anyway.

Buyout Bryz, get a package for Bernier and start building from this years draft.

per the CBJ twitter, jack johnson has left practice. not sure why

Math symbols are hard.

No. Not at all.

You don't think Lava's pressure O and Torts D first mentality would fit the other teams players better?

truth, i agree

It's possible. There would likely be a short-term initial improvement for both teams. Would it be sustainable?

I like JT. I know many here don't, though.

dam, nothing, not even horrible rumors

I would find a way to get Bernier and one of LA's D prospects.
That would be a great place to start

Couldn't be much worse. Both teams have really underachieved this year.

That said, I don't want Torts here.
