they sure as (frank) can get it up for the pens. damn good team assembled there.

That's my hope for a first round match-up

Agree with OB -- it'll be Cowen wh they try to move.

Do. Not. Want.

(Trading a top-6 forward for him would be a complete repeat of JvR/Schenn)

Wasn't there a Sens fan on here a few weeks ago saying they'd do Vinny for Gryba and Greening? I'd totally do that, and the money makes sense for the Sens after July 1 -- Vinny's real salary lower than cap hit, opposite for Greening.
- Tomahawk

I would do that deal too. Greening can still play on the 4th line effectively I think.

Oh yeah, Greening isn't good, but hes younger and cheaper...Gryba is another limited 5-6 guy, but he's not expensive
- Jsaquella

He's better than Umberger and Rinaldo, too.

Gryba's a plug, but at least he's a righty.

Do. Not. Want.

I thought this same thing. I'm down trading young, top 6 forwards for defensive defenseman who might be top 4.

That's my hope for a first round match-up

any chance you can get nabokov back in there?

There are real questions about Cowen's game and hockey sense, that's for sure. I read Garrioch and Yost enough to know that

They should shop him to Calgary

Wouldn't do it either, just was a thought

Schenn bros for Wiercioch and Stone... interested?

Doc was horrible the other night. "Simmonds tripods the puck..."

we were all like... "WTF did he just say? He's just making words up now."

I was all over that

The thing is, I can see Bryan Murray as a guy who would do a Schenn package -- he is a believer in Canadian kids like Luke Schenn, might think he could salvage him because he plays hard

Doesn't make Murray an easy mark, or an imbecile. Just one of those guys who thinks a Canadian kid in a Canadian city will figure it out, sometimes

Yup.

You think OTT would trade him tho? They don't have much in the pipeline. You'd think to get him Hexy would have to send over one of our better D kids along w/ whatever top-6 forward they'd be sacrificing.
- Tomahawk

hagg and b schenn

Schenn bros for Wiercioch and Stone... interested?
- Tomahawk

Done, because Stone's a natural winger and Wiercioch can likely help us more than Luke Schenn, going forward

Make no mistake, though: there's some risk there, if Baby Schenn figures this poop out

And we know the Flyers pro scouts have a massive hard on for great big dmen who play the puck like a grenade.

Woof...that is steep

- Tomahawk

That's interesting, I'd probably want a bit more, but that has potential as a deal

Good news and bad news.

Good news: No Doc
Bad news: Regis "Penis head" "I swear to god I'm french" "Pierre" McGuire is still spouting

We're 55 seconds into the game and we already know where Jaden Schwartz was born and where he went to college.

That's interesting, I'd probably want a bit more, but that has potential as a deal

They have a 2nd to spare from the Spezza trade.

I'd pass on that deal quickly.

I read the article and LeBrun is just spitballing, but I could see something like Schenn Bros for Cowen, Stone and a second -- could totally see some poop like that, if Hextall goes looking for picks and wants Luke Schenn's contract gone

Stone's offensive upside is pretty up there, too... close to Schenn's.

Wiercioch could be a Franson, maybe.

- Tomahawk

Fire up the bus and get me that pick!!

It's a tough one, because B.Schenn could still easily be the best guy out of the deal. Stone has been solid for the Sens, and has been productive in the AHL and juniors, not sure he has the same upside.

I'd pass on that deal quickly.
- MJL

Do you ever think, because of your fandom, that you sometimes, maybe overvalue the Flyers' players just a bit? Perfectly natural. We all do it from time to time.
