So, cause I'm bored, here is a question for you all.

If you could add one current player to the Flyers roster, without having to give up anything to get him, who would it be?

For me, it would be Ryan Suter

Since it's apropos, Drew Doughty.

Victor Hedman.

(He's the Shea Weber/Chris Pronger for the next decade)

This is about as easy as it gets...

Sidney Crosby.

I just think that he is not being used to the fullest of his abilities. He is incredible defensively, but he was considered to be a "sniper" in his junior days. I would love to see the flyers get that out of him. Taking some booming shots from the circle would definitely open up his confidence.

I mean one of the concerns about him when he was going to be drafted was that he wouldn't recognize when to pass because he was a shoot first guy. And his slap shot and wrist shot were considered to be incredible. Now he never has a chance to even use his skills.

Think having more of a playmaker/passer on his LW should unlock some of that (AKESON).

This is my first time hearing about any reluctance to pass, though... he turned Gabe Dumont and Ondrej Palat into 50 and 40 goal-scorers respectively... had to be doing something right.

Its amazing how quickly the Philly fan base would turn around their thoughts. He would make Bob Clarke look like Zarley Zalapski.

Come on now. You know the Flyers are just dying to sign Brooks Orpik this summer. They'll be teammates again.

Sadly, yes. Which is more frightening than the members of GWAR.

No doubt about it. Don't think we'll ever have to worry about it.

Shea Weber, hands down. I don't care about his age, or how many more minutes/game Ryan Suter plays, or how many oddman chances against are given up by E. Karlsson.

Shea Weber and his (probably) enormous manhood would lead the Flyers to unparalleled glory...or at least the Eastern Conference Finals.

It'll be the defensive version of swapping Briere for Lecavalier.

Grossmann will be shipped out. There will be much rejoice.

Three days later, a new 5-year deal for Brooks Orpik.
