My gut tells me we get that 2nd for Mez. It might not happen until very last minute but those who miss out on the big names will definately be sniffing around.

Honestly..considering age difference between players, I don't think they offer anything else.....maybe mid range prospect....ie Taylor Leirer type....I see why Flyerss are kicking tires....but hope they don't make this move.

The Flyers would have to make other moves to create the cap space needed to make that trade.

I stopped listening to sports radio 2 years ago. It just got tired. Same shyt all the time... 2 weeks till pitchers and catchers.... oooooohhh.

For me, it was the lame callers and the really obvious trolling by some (not all) hosts that led me to believe it was a big joke.

Maybe Anaheim is secretly in on Kesler. I think the sun would implode if I am right. Called him to Anaheim yesterday.

Maybe they'll really do Bryz a favor in Minnesota and hire back Jacques Lemaire.

Penner to Caps?

chasing this one down as we speak

Gotta love it.

- jmatchett383


I like how he said he was the Source on the Bryz to Minnesota deal when McKenzie tweeted it 10 minutes earlier. I follow along on twitter too. Does that mean if I type it up I am the source?

The goal for sports radio is not to have good sports commentary.

It's to get people to listen, so they get higher ratings and higher prices for ads on the radio.

And if they think you'll listen because "ZOMG!!11! THEY ARE TEH N00Bz!!", well, then they'll continue to say foolish things on the radio.

Best course of action is to give up sports talk altogether.

Yeah that model applies to website as well.

4th rounders are the currency for rental players and back up goalies so far today

These trades actually make sense, for the prices being paid -- and they show how out of line some of the asking prices are for some of these other players

Some bloggers have absolutely built up their website based on that notion of being a professional troll, for sure.

Admiral Akbar is one of the best. Did you know he was Grand Moff Tarkin's slave? That is where he learned all his strategy. Al La Akbar!

I could have given that order to concentrate all fire power on that super star destroyer and I'm not an admiral nor do I look like someone's future fried appetizer.

Clutch Playoff Scorer - 4th round pick
Legitimate Starting goalie - 4th round pick
30+-year-old, oft-injured center - young 20-goal scorer, top prospect, first round pick

Not really. Alot of the asking prices for top players are where they are, because teams aren't completely committed to trading a player.
