No thats Schenbros

No. You must jump to a conclusion now.
- PhillySportsGuy

It would certainly fit in wouldn't it? Maybe I should just post pre-emptive criticism. Because we all know that Holmgren has no clue what he's doing!

LARSEN...

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 4m

Edit:

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 4m
Scott Gomez and Scot Clemmensen (FLA) also on waivers.

So what you're saying is we actively influence the development of a player, but we can't reasonably forecast their potential. Got it.

i'll try harder

Mutually assured destruction!

Honestly... He may have better offense, but Couts is a better defensive forward in my opinion.
- jak521

Kesler won a Selke. I think he's better than Couts in almost every area. I just don't see him being better than Couts for too many more years.

That's ridiculous. How did you know that's why he rage-quit?

if there is a trade i doubt its just for kessler....edler must be involved as well.
- PhillaBully

You would think...however I heard a rumor where its a three way trade and were getting Jones outta Nashville too

We are all saying IF it happens we will be furious.

I think everyone is just a little nervous the Flyers will resort to "WE NEED TO WIN NOW" mode.

- nonpoint22

lol see i would trade schenns + for jones.

Whats the point in getting Kesler? I can understand Edler (Although I'm not a huge fan), but Kesler is Sean Couturier in 8 years.
- PhillySportsGuy

agreed

- -davies-

He's got great wheels. Not so much finish. There's potential.

IMHO, if the Flyers move B. Schenn or Couturier for any player on Vancouver, It will be a mistake. This team is not set to win right now. Edler doesn't make our defense a Stanley Cup caliber defense.
- PhillySportsGuy

If Kesler stays healthy (the big if) he can win a series all by himself. I think he's a good fit in Philly. He'll do anything to win. But he's an a**hole of the highest order. He's definitely a problem in the locker room here.

Did you see that goal he scored against the Rangers where he split the D and blew right past them? His skating is not an issue.
- MJL

Blew past them?

You guys kill me. So extreme on everything.

That's ridiculous. How did you know that's why he rage-quit?
- Pixote Andolini

he left a note.

wait, he did? I thought he was a good egg, even if he horribly misconstrued my sarcasm the first time we interacted.

Fortunately, Skip was available to mediate.

I think we know who won that trade between Ottawa and Tampa.

He'd be a nice guy to stash in the minors. I don't think thats going to happen though.

- PhillySportsGuy

I would be upset also. But the post I replied to pretty much said the Flyers are going to blow it, and get older, more brittle etc. I'm going to wait and see what happens.

you could very well be right but i still don't get the constant venomous hate. hartnell takes more stupid penalties than downie does... a lot of them could cut down on the dumb.
- -davies-

We're not happy unless we have a whipping boy. It's been that way in Philadelphia for as long as I can remember, from Mike Schmidt on

The replay is readily available.

- tgropen

I love him as a player. The problem we all have is his position and the current situation of the team. They are not contenders with their current defense and they have several good, young centers. Why would they trade a center about to enter his prime for a center about to leave his prime when the team isn't good enough to win a cup?

wait, he did? I thought he was a good egg, even if he horribly misconstrued my sarcasm the first time we interacted.

he's a great egg with a great deal of repressed anger towards steve downie

Kesler won a Selke. I think he's better than Couts in almost every area. I just don't see him being better than Couts for too many more years.
- PhillySportsGuy

Just because he won a Selke doesnt mean he is better now. The big advantage he has is that he is better at the dot. I agree that he is the more accomplished player, and better two way player.. but defensively idk.
