Flyers will be a much improved team this year. Upgrade on the D and upgrade on the forwards. Push at goalie because the backup won't be Bouche or Leighton.
Only time will tell if 4 for Streit and 5 for Vinny hurt, but for "now" the team is vastly improved. |

Good sell, we'll take him
I am actually salivating at the thought of a D core with Lauridsen, Morin, and Myers, though. The cost is the only problem for me. What trade would you like to see? With the condition being that BSchenn is going your direction instead of Coots? - JAKEw1234
I have no idea if they would do a Myers for Schenn & Meszaros deal.
With Buffalo taking about a $2M hit and giving you an extra $1.5M in cap space, they may not do it. They might ask to do Myers for Schenn (plus picks going each way perhaps) and leave Meszaros out of it. |

Agreed, especially with goaltending... Bringing in a guy who won the Calder trophy, so the potential is there! Plus he is still young and bringing in a successful veteran like Nabokov or Thomas will do wonders for Mason. |

c'mon man. the bryz thing is atrocious and he deserves the razzing. let him make smart moves this off season to get the stink out - isaiah520
Yes, Bryz is a bad signing. But it's off the cap.
That's all that matters. It's not going to prevent them from making moves to improve |

love the gagne idea
think he'd sign up for 2M or less?
tim thomas can (frank) off - Marc D
Probably like 2-3 mil for Gags
Thomas is a fierce competitor and battler... he covers the bottom 1/2 of the net as good as anyone, has a decent glove and can scramble like Hasek....I like his game... I pretty much ignored the whole political B.S. so, I don't care about that...but I'm not married to the idea...I mentioned a few different options. |

Need another dman that can move the puck or at least a future for nxt yr. that's still an issue, even w/ streit. lavi has to stick w/ late season changes as well, but he hates dialing things back |

So Holmgren signs Vinny Lecavalier and twitter is full of jokes about his inability to manage the cap. Ray Shero spends $73mm in one day on Letang and Dupuis and there's a slew of, good job, great value tweets. - Jsaquella
Crosby is the only thing standing between Shero, Ballsma, and illegitimacy. Stat guys see the points but don't see the choke jobs they've done the past couple of years. Shero keeping Testiclesma as coach is just playing it safe. Once their picks and FA signings dry up and go bust, people will see them for what they are.
Also, still on vacation in California and our waiter at dinner the other night is from Pittsburgh. Got a couple jabs in about Fleury after he brought up the 2012 Flyers/Pens series. It was great. He accepted defeat with honor. |

I was asking how you think it fares value-wise. It's hard for me to value our young players cause these darned orange glasses keep getting in the way |

Timo-Coburn
Streit-Schenn
Gus-Grossman
Not ideal but the each line has a puck mover. Having a goalie that helps get the puck out is just huge for this system, IMHO of course. |

i can agree with this. no matter what the circumstances, the goalie situation is a total mess that looks completely ridiculous. it's not unfair to give him flack for that
and besides, who cares what the media/other fans think? only makes it more satisfying when they succeed (the haters will gloat when they fail whether they mocked the moves beforehand or not) |

I think Schenn for Myers is close, but not quite enough.
I think Couturier for Myers is very fair on both ends.
The contract value of each is why there would have to be more to that deal. |

It's not exactly like you guys are strapped for cap, especially since Mez's contract expires next year. Maybe BSchenn, Mez, and a 3rd/4th? |
