How do you think the Flyers got their defense?

Coburn, Streit, AMac, Grossmann, Luke Schenn?

OMG BY MAKING TRADES!

The Gomez deal was horrible at the time, but remember that McDonagh was a spare part throw in, Higgins was the big piece.

well i get you're not one of those blind homers
- 2Real

hab fans didn't like that on the other sites. One said Giroux for Gal

I thought Steve Mason was the best goalie in the league according to some here
also people here say coburn is a number 1 defender
- 2Real

There isn't a person on this boad who has said either of these things

That's where I am, especially short term because Rick Nash Jr. isn't even playing

still goes to show you that someone was going to pay the freight.

although the inclusion of bogo is big.

i dont know. im torn on it. im not a huge myers guy, but i do think he could have pulled in a good bit himself.

stafford isnt worth much to me. as a rental he could have been moved for maybe a 3rd?

then you have the two prospects. not too familiar with the one, but armia at least had some buzz about him. nothing earth shattering though.

a first is nothing to laugh at, even if it was the lowest one they had.

but kane and bogo are 2 solid, solid assets.

No, cause they wanted our 2014 1st and our 2015 1st as well.

Sanheim + Simmonds + 2015 1st > Ekblad, even though he's great.
- Feanor

that was the proposed deal? yeah giving up the 2015 would be something I wouldn't have wanted to do

No no it can't be a democrat wanting to start a war? I thought George Bush and his buddies only started war.

I'm still waking up at night cursing our previous GM for that blunder ... Ryan McDonagh would look very good on our blue line right now.

flyers traded a 30 goal left wingers for a traffic cone

Correction: A highly-paid traffic cone.

Edit: They've actually traded 2 30-goal left wingers for 2 highly-paid traffic cones.

so to Buffalo:
Kane 37 GP 10-12-22
Bogosian 41 GP 3-10-13
Kasdor - RPI (ECAC) Junior - career 24-20-2 2.31

to Winnipeg
Myers 47 GP 4-9-13
Stafford 50 GP 9-15-24
LemieuX OHL - 46 GP 35-15-50 - career 153 GP - 68-49-117
Armia - AHL - 33 GP 10-15-25 - career - 87 GP 17-35-52 - 1 NHL game
First rounder belonging to St Louis or the Isles


Honestly I think Winnipeg did quite well.

That deal is nuts.

you should be enjoying the team you have now

that poop is crying over spilt milk and the Habs are looking great this year

of course we are guilty too
JVR for L Schenn... still read about this every week
some still bring up the Patrick Sharp deal

Counterpoint: He's a right handed traffic cone. Very important.

Its funny but I look at the trade from the Winnipeg side and think they did well. then I look at it from the Buffalo side and get why they did what they did and also considering they had the pick and prospects to deal. so maybe this ends up being one of those moves where both sides are quite happy

That deal is nuts.

It's net neutral on the face of it, to me -- Myers is better than Bogosian, to me.

Kane has real potential and upside, and has scored 30. But the offset are the prospects -- Joel Armia has tools -- and they get a pick

Probably going to be net neutral, when it is all said and done

Well, the Flyers have never made a good trade or draft pick.

Exactly. Your GM has to get off his ass and make moves

Yeah ... I guess every team has brain cramps once in a while.

I'd rather have Bogosian, but when you include injuries, it's a wash.

Armia had fallen out in Buffalo, Stafford is a 3rd liner on a deeper team, but they will help the team both now and in the future. Throw in Lemieux and the 1st for Kane and I think Winnipeg gets the better end.

Flyers trade 1st round pick which turned into John Carlson for Steven freaking Eminger

Staying out of the Buffalo board, as they're convinced they just fleeced Buffalo (I said the same thing at first, didn't see the 1st was included).

This is a legit interpretation, as well -- some people could absolutely prefer Bogosian to Myers
