Sure, but "Hey bro, we know you're down, don't worry about the millions we're giving you for nothing" doesn't play either.

I think that's a combo from different people, not the offer. That is completely nuts, unless you're getting a forward or two back also.

Although, stranger things have happened.

that's like, our whole team.

no way that happens without roster players coming back. hopefully GOOD ONES

That's like a lindros haul right there.

Now if #1, gudbranson, and huberdeau, i'd be happy. quite happy.

Debate was between $68 and $70 million and they split the difference. NHL wanted higher number to bail out some teams.

I wonder who he's talking about

They could still trade out of their spot - but I get the sense they like the local kid DeAngelo - and not just b/c he has a great 1st name.

You believe Gudbranson is nothing more then a third pairing d-man? I thought he had better mobility, the L. Schenn. Granted, I haven't watched much Panthers hockey.

Names floated from #Flyers folk regarding #FlaPanthers top pick: The Schenns, Read, Simmonds and Vinny. Phil has interest in Gudbranson.

Told Flyers have had several talks with Florida regarding their pick and including Lecavalier; not sure if Panthers will bite

Flyers have 4.7M to play with, and could easily add another 1.4M to that if they wanted to.

We can't draft DeAngelo. How will we speculate about him coming home to Philly every year?

I'd be interested in Howden, too. But that's still giving up a whole lot of current lineup.

Also, after the nice reception that Pittsburgh bestowed upon Homer, what do you really expect to happen.

And the headlines the next day: "Philly fans boo Bettman, Rutherford: Again worst fans in pro sports."

- jmatchett383

nothing wrong with booing him.

actually, the sound waves might erode him.

just because it's being talked about doesn't mean it will happen. of course, if it does, this place will literally explode.
