this just means you are in for a long night tonight.

He doesn't suck.

This is like arguing religon with you guys...

I say i want him traded... and you all act like i crucified jesus...

I only want him out because of his upcoming UFA and for what he brings to the table IN MY OPINION isn't worth that kind of money.

We lost Knuble and his goals... no big deal.. we lose lupul and his goals.. no big deal...

If we lose Carter and his goals, someone else will make them up.

I think that the only way to really know if we'd miss him is if he was traded. To sit here and say oh we'll miss that.. and we'll miss this.. is speculation. Nothing more.

The Carter lovers are acting like Liberals.. my crap smells terrible.. and your's don't stink... you're right.. and everyone else is wrong.. no room for compromise until you've converted everyone to your beliefs.

Actually, as a guy who likes Jeff Carter, my issue is when people just post that he's lazy, isn't a good two way player and that he sucks and other such nonsense. The monetary concerns are very real, but Carter's a RFA next summer. If somebody signs him to a huge offer sheet, the Flyers will have a ton of draft pick compensation and the cap room to replace him.

Far too many of the "Carter Sucks" folks simply dismiss that he's an outstanding young player, which leads the people who want Carter to stay to react in the manner you hate so much.

No I don't carter is a perfectly competent player

I have no clue what's happened to you the last 6 months but I must say good work.

Amen, giggity and hosana on High.

In a side note, (frank) the Hampton Inn, Orlando airport...no bacon for breakfast? This is like the Soviet Union.

I got a PM telling me Leino is more valuable then Carter



So the guy who has a season high of 11 points is more valuable

This is good stuff

If you're gonna trade a dude, strictly for cap room, you trade the injury prone 30 year old, with the bigger hit, who will be a UFA in the summer...not the 25 year old, who is in the top 5 goal scorers fvor the past 2 years, and is a RFA next summer.

It's science.

Hampton only serves half warm sausage patties.
the rest of their stuff isn't usually too bad.

Unless you think the younger RFA is unsignable or will demand SO much of your cap space that you can't sign 4 other players.

no it's just the kind of luck you have that's all.

One of three things happens:

a) They re-sign Carter

b) He signs an offer sheet and they match

c) He signs an offer sheet, they refuse to match and get 4 1st rounders and a poopload of cap room to re-sign Giroux, et al.....and a free agent.

The waffles were tits....the ersatz eggs, well....let's just say they were a rental

Hopefully they reach a deal before the offer sheets start flying around.

I am concerned that the following is what will happen:

They sign Carter and don't have enough cap space to sign Giroux, Leino, Zerdev, Carcillo. they are replaced by 4 Nodls.

Waffles are always good.
their coffee is usually decent.

The Holiday Inn (at least the new one) have the best free breakfast

Why would you worry they can't sign Carcillo...........

Have a feeling Carter is going to be signed long term soon and not for as much as people think.

I hope he gets Richards money and goes on to become a 40 goal scorer for the next 6-8 years.

win win for everybody.

Hopefully they reach a deal before the offer sheets start flying around.
- MBFlyerfan

Either way is fine with me. Perfect world he signs a Richards contract on August 1st.

no question

I would rather have carcillo than 2 nodls. would certainly rather than have Carcillo than shelley

Either way is fine with me. Perfect world he signs a Richards contract on August 1st.

I really think this is what is going to happen. The Years may not be as long, but I think the cap hit will be similar.

If they can sign him for that and bring back giroux and either Leino or Zerdev, I would feel much better
