The Flyers do not need a Brad Richards. That money would be far better spent on a third-line center and 6th defenseman.

I'm with you... I'd like to see them stick w/the max effort gritty types.

To use another baseball analogy: Speed doesn't slump. Neither does grit and max effort.

Leino, Briere, Giroux and JVR can still be lumped into the skill group. That should be enough. Sounds like Voracek is that type of player as well.

He will be overpaid, thats the nature of being a top UFA.

Yeah, Homer needs to do what he needs to do via trade and stay the hell away from July 1 at all costs. Bryz is already a pretty huge "UFA" add.

Old news is old dood

picks may turn out they may not - Carter and Richards took u to The Finals & are proven winners.

Bryz is overrated - had terrible playoffs last 2 seasons.


Don't try and spin it - terrible deals especially Carter

Dude. Get out of here. We just had our franchise turned upside down, for better or worse do you really need to rub salt in the wounds?
I know you're all fired up over Gomez's next big year but do us a favor and beat it.

What would it take to get B-Rich?

If we were to trade versteeg and the 8th to flo-rida... draft Larson (he wants to spend another year or two in Sveden) sign B-Rich at 6 years with a cap hit of about 5.5?

6 years...
8,8,6,5,3,3

I would guess Richards will be in the 6.5-7.0M/yr range. Unless its a lengthy, front-loaded, cap-friendly deal.

Fantasmasizing

6Years,7.8 mil is more realistic

Anyway BOB and the # 8 pick gets Philly Florida's pick @ #3 or is Versteeg more likely?

I can't see the Flyers paying BOB almost $2mm a year to be a back up.

Stamkos hype is in full effect. It was posted in one of the other blogs Stamkos was on the radio saying "its always been his dream to play for the flyers."



True or not I love it and makes my day more enjoyable.......I love being off, drinking my coffee and discussing this team I love....

Winnipeg to announce team name just before making 7th pick tonight!

Interesting words to put together.

I was thinking the same... too much.

Flyers can't afford to lose another top 9 guy w/o this becoming a full rebuild.

FLA has Jakub Markstrom.... they wouldnt have any interest in Bob, I would guess. Versteeg is more likely.

What if a team that has playoff hopes on the line loses their goalie to injury long term next season?

Would Bob be a better commodity in the trade market then?

I've always said carter would be great on a team that doesn't care about them
