Wouldn't happen. Nashville is doing great for themselves. Why would they make a move like that?

OEL, Domi, top 12 pick is slightly more realistic.
- hereticpride

Should do it. Just look at all the Cups the Flyers won with can't-miss Eric Lindros. If only Quebec/Colorado had kept him, they might have win a few themselves. Throwing an insane overpriced package at an unproven NHL player is always the right thing to do.

Why do I have a feeling the Pens have an agenda tonight.

Planning for a blowout and the inevitable associated donnybrook?

He isn't a phyical defenseman, but I don't see him routinely muscled off of the puck. He routinely wins his share of the battles with a good stick, and moves the puck well in traffic, like that sweet pass he made the last game between his legs to break the puck out when he has outnumbered on the puck. What I want more from MacDonald is offensive output. That's the area of his game where I think he needs to improve.

not sure who will fight the hired pengoon though

I wouldn't trade Giroux unless it was a massive overpayment. I'd rather trade Voracek and keep the 1-2-3 punch of Giroux-McDavid-Couturier. Voracek could bring back a bunch of depth/high end prospect/picks
- PhillySportsGuy

Yeah, lot of ways for a team like this to handle it.

If the return was big enough, I might even trade out of the top-2 picks entirely.

I don't think I'd do that. It would take a team offering an RGIII type offer of like 4 first rounders

Yeah because there is no way he isn't going to try and make something happen with his ice time. Reason why I would at least have White in the lineup.

Buffalo could offer 3 (~4 if you count their 2nd)

You make a very good point. The Weber fantasies need to be put to bed.
- Feanor

When we trade the #1 overall pick for Weber, you'd better apologize.

Um Rinaldo.....?

An OEL Domi centered deal would have my attention. Weber is just a bit too old at this point to feel good about trading away an 18yr old Crosby for.

Prove to me that he'll be as good as Sidney Crosby. Prove it.

Flyers say Emery is starting in goal tonight.

Again? Dude lost yesterday, how dare they put him back in!!!

Emery for McDavid

I just want to see Emery grab Crosby and beat the snot out of him. I don't care how many goals he gives up in the game.
- BiggE

This just wont happen.


Emery will be down covering a puck. Crosby will get behind him and start punching him in the balls as he is known to do. This will just make Emery angry, and as Emery turns around to beat Crosby, both linesman, both refs, the PA announcer and Pierre McGuire will have thrown themselves in between them, thus protecting Crosby once again.

Happens....EVERY....Time.

I dont have to prove anything. That's the risk GMs are willing to take.

I love when the Pens puff their chests out before a Flyers game. It's adorable, really.

There is 0 guarantee that he will ever be nearly as good as Crosby. Do I think he'll be a good player who can challenge for a Hart/Art Ross one day? Sure, I can see that easily. Do I think that there's a chance that he won't? Absolutely. Having great junior numbers is no guarantee of professional success (Daigle, Gamauche). And even if you do have success, there's still next-tier guys like Thornton, Lecavalier, RNH, Kovalchuk, and Nash. Which of those guys would you trade a king's ransom for?

oh yeh

I forgot him

Im really not sure what you want me to say. I said I would entertain offers for him. I'm not centering a deal around Weber when he is pushing 30 though.

How could you forget him? According to some, he's the Top 20 things wrong with this team

- hereticpride

Well, as guys like Lidstrom, Pronger, Bourque, and Neidermayer proved, once those elite defensemen hit 30, it's all downhill and they become useless spectators.

Have a good one man. I'm not into arguing for the sake of arguing. Its childish and pointless.

I actually want to see Manning to get more then just a couple of games with the big club. He has been the best d man for the phatoms for a little bit now. I've seen good things out of him sometimes just give the kid a chance to see what he can do for 20 games and evaluate him after that. People probably disagree with me. I like his edgy play along with him getting the puck to the net. Our d is very bad and he is on a one year deal this is probably his last chance to stay with the organization. Hope he does well. Flyers offense needs more speed and someone who can purely put the puck in the net. We also need players who can hit more( or at least hit harder). We have big bodies who don't play like they have big bodies. We all know our d is horrible no need to get into that. We just have to live with our goalie situation right now with mason hurt. Hopefully a good draft and hopefully some cap dump can help this team. Couple of the right moves could help because I don't believe this team is that far off bring a good team.
