I think G could handle a year with those line mates but the Flyers would really have to take a look at acquiring another player in the long run. Raffl and Read aren't top line guys in my opinion.

If we can move Vinny and have the cap room heading into next summer adding another top 6 winger would do us wonders.

Maybe the Ryan rumors will finally come true next year...

I dont think he is the savior some do but I'd much rather wait a year and take a shot at him in FA rather than giving up assets for Kane.

I really wish Gagne didn't suffer those serious injuries. He would be the perfect guy to play with G on the left side. Move Simmer up to RW and Jake down to play with Schenn.

Yeah man that's what I'm sayin!

The poster was eluding to signing a UFA top 6 winger, provided they cut Vinny loose and go into the offseason with cap room.

I can thin of one person who fits that bill, and he has 2 first names as his full name.....

Again, INCORRECT

Although, Chris does have 2 first names. Stewart is kind of a stretch though. Who names their kid Stewart nowadays?

Do you actually know French? I like how they compare him to Pronger and Chara. No pressure or anything.

Why is it that the Flyers used a buyout on Danny B, yet the Habs were able to trade him for a useful play in PA Parenteau?
- PLindbergh31


Briere was injured at the trade deadline, and if a team wanted to trade for his $6.5m cap hit in the offseason, Briere would have had to waive. If he had waived he would have cost himself $6.3 million over the next four years. So he was never going to waive.

Samuel has aged, he's starting to look like Joe Walsh, at least in that picture.

Ignore the actual writing. There are quotes from Flyers people and his Junior coach. Assumption seems to be he's going back to Juniors unless something drastic happens.

Says he took 500 one timers per day after practice. According to OB that was a particular area of weakness for him and they say he's significantly improved.
