Streit is very good on the PP, and can move the puck. Flyers are lacking in both areas. The fact it's another aging guy commanding a big contract is what I don't like.

Steit is a liability in his own end as well. Strictly and offensive defenseman.

I'll wait until a deal is completed before I make a decision. Based off rumors I been reading online, I'm not going to like the results.

He'll play better D than half the guys we had in here last year.

Well considering half of the Flyers D last year consisted of Huskins, Lilja, Lauridsen, Manning, etc.... I certainly hope so.

Going to have the Swiss connection maybe not this year but next year is possible. Lauridsen/Streit pairing

Is this a bad time to point out that Lauridsen is Danish?

Lauridsen played pretty well. I think Gustafsson has a chance to become a good player.

Man hawks and B's came to play lot of good hits already.

Not sure why they would want to sign Streit for 3-4 years at $5M+.

Probably because there aren't any better realistic options. If you look at it in a vacuum Briere out Streit in, it improves the team.

I have doubts about him staying healthy and I also have the least faith in him (among himself, Coburn and Grossmann) in tougher defensive matchups. His Barry Ashbee Trophy season came as the Flyers #5 defenseman, albeit a #5 who played 20 minutes a game. It was awful nice to be able to have five 20-minute D men in the lineup and O'Donnell as the #6. The team's GAA wasn't great but that was more due to Laviolette's style of play than the D personnel being insufficient.

Options B. Limited

Briere has never been an albatross.

His current cap hit for his production is.

My comment about Doc Emrick got deleted?

That seems excessively intolerant. Perhaps overly sensitive?

No need to fill that money up already if you don't have a player you like. Just seems like they have some free money so they just spend it. Not a wise idea.

Stay patient.

I'd rather the negativity of the pending 3-4 year, 5-6mil per contract for Streit, than the near rioting we'd have in here if we dealt Couturier for Fatso.

I had already gotten my pitchfork and torches.

Huskins He showed us the way out of a top 10 pick

Kimmo and Mesz off the cap next year... Not to mention having another buyout after Briere.

If you like the Phillies, wait until Ruin Tomorrow Jr trades Cliff Lee at the deadline for Julio Franco
