Edler is a #1 dman. Cobrun is a #3 dman, Vancouver gets a future 1st or 2nd line player also.
i think an offer that would be more tempting for them would be Coburn+11th+Gus/Cousins/Akeson/McGinn/Ghost for Edler+24th
- FLYERSROCK!

That's really awful asset management.

Edler isn't a number one defenseman. He's a good solid defenseman, but he's not a bona fide number one. Trading Coburn and the 11th pick for him is not a smart plan.

Nature of the business. When the Flyers were trying to sneak Randy Freakin' Jones through recall waivers a few years because they were racked with injuries on the blueline, did ol' pal Lombardi do Homer a favor or did he claim Jones for LA, leaving the Flyers with half of Jones' cap hit?

Not to mention, you just know you're going to end up watching Gus go on to win a Norris Trophy and/or Stanley Cup playing w/ the Sedins while some grave misfortune befalls Monsieur Edler, right?

Wow. A defenseman coming off his worst year, a 1st round pick, a possible future top-3 puck-moving defenseman (who actually outplayed Edler for the time they were together on Sweden), a guy who was one of the leading scorers in juniors, a good young 3rd liner, another possible top-3 puck-moving defenseman (and our best hope at a home-grown defenseman in years) for a guy who is not a true #1 defenseman (top-pair, but not elite) and a late first-rounder?

Yes, that's a fantastic offer.

so....what did i miss?

- Streit is useless
- Boston is awesome
- Crosby sucks (probably in there somewhere)
- The Flyers still suck
- Trade roster and future for Edler
- Streit is old and useless

Also I hate what Dreger says Streit's New Contract is .... He's playing till 40 at 5.25 A Year...with Homer's classic NTC

- FrmRusiaWifGlov

He won't turn 40 till six months after the contract ends.

FTFY

I dont mind Striet, but I certainly do mind his contract...

Don't you have anything better to do today?

Me? No. My wife & child-to-be do!

3 hours of waiting at home still before heading out. Then 3 hours until the procedure. I'm more antsy now than on my 10th Christmas Eve when I asked for a bike and 'The Empire Strikes Back' Atari game.

The Debbie Downer is strong with this one.

Highly doubtful.

It just can't really be predicted. Edler himself was a 3rd round pick.

Yup. Wife asked if I thought it was a good contract, I said ask me in December this year, and next year, and the year after that...

It just can't really be predicted. Edler himself was a 3rd round pick.
- wolfhounds

Knowing the Flyers luck, the 4th rounder they traded will be the new Chris Pronger in 2 years time.

At least they traded a 4th round pick to get these exclusive negotiating rights!

Psssshhh.. No fourth round pick has ever gone on to be an impact player in the NHL

I agree that Edler is a #1 D man. But he is not on the level of Timonen in his prime. So that's a pretty drastic overpayment. I like Edler a lot. But I wouldn't make that deal.
