you're telling me Niemi is better and I asked you, HOW. In case you just landed, Enorth has been in the league how long ? and being Millers backup. Niemi has been a starter and has 1 cup with a stacked team and has done S$$T with the Sharks. We can be just as good with Enorth for less then 4 mill a year.

Mad about what ? a Flyers fan who won't even sniff a cup telling me about enroth.

Hell depending on how his dad is, he might have been still in diapers when they won the cup.

Damn that Bernie Parent.

That Cup WAS OURS!!!

Niemi is a good goalie. He like many are in that 8-22 that can argued for any placement in that range.
- dadeadhead

We don't need Niemi, whats the 8-22 range ? you mean rank ?

Brian Gionta captain
- FLYERSROCK!

Sad part is he's probably the best captain this team has had in 8 years.



Kevin Lowe and the old boys club he's running in Edmonton is a joke. I feel sorry for their fans as that fan base deserves better.

This team will still suck ass next year.... They will win more but won't be .500, IMO.

Hooters ?

07/08 Blackhawks. Kane and Toews were both rookies. Went from picking 1st overall to a respectable 40-34-8. They picked 11th.

07/08 Penguins went from picking 2nd in June to losing in the Stanley cup finals.


It would not shock me if they add E Kane, McEichel, Reinhart, and Gringo(as he has to be up here) into the lineup and you get something that resembles 07/08 Hawks.
- dadeadhead

I see us picking in the top10 next year, possibly top5...
McDavid/Eichel prob aren't gonna score 30g & be all-stars right away, Reinhart is still smal-ish and will have an adjustment period as well, and Grigorenko has looked much better but its not like he's dominating the AHL.
Good thing about Grigorenko is that even though he'll prob be on the 4th line to start, at least he will have some decent talent on his line. Deslauriers, maybe Hodgson or Flynn... Hell, anything's better than Scott & Kaleta on his wings

That's at least 3 rookies in the lineup as well.
They will be inconsistent scoring & make mistakes that lose us games as well.

And for me, goaltending is still a BIG question mark

Michael Pachla: Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff sets the Evander Kane paramaters
Is first-time GM Tim Murray up to the challenge of making a deal with first-time GM Kevin Cheveldayoff?
- Michael Pachla

Tough to say for sure, but the overwhelming opinion is that there's little chance he gets his asking price...

Like I've said all along, Kane is ours if we want him.
Having those 2 late 1sts gives us a huge advantage when trying to land him.
The only other team that has one is Edmonton, so unless their offer is Yakupov + the Pitt 1st (and the Jets really like Yakupov), I don't think the Oilers can make an offer that might top what we can

2 schools of thought on whether or not they'd want Grigorenko or Yakupov...
1) they wouldn't want to take a chance on another Russian with what happened with Burmistrov
2) getting Yakupov or Grigorenko might help bring the talented Burmistrov back into the picture

If not, Armia could be a nice for for them. Lemieux possibly.
Or we have a collection of prospects that are just a notch below...
Larsson, Carrier, Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching & Compher are all guys that aren't too far away from contributing who they might be interested in

Btw, I wouldn't mind trading for the rights to Burmistrov
