Uhhh I'm sure it's not. There'd be news on a death here in Saskatoon being a mediocre-sized city. I haven't recently read anything... i'd think Edmonton, Vancouver & Montreal are higher for obvious reasons...
- FLYERSROCK!

I must have been mistaken.

B.Richards signs with the Flyers, and by popular demand by FLyer fans, takes number 18.... Please... I dont want to buy another Jersey.
- youarewrong

If they keep Versteeg, Schenn can wear 18

You would "pass on stamkos?" Thats the most ridiculous statement ever. If you have an opportunity to get him, you do it. It's that simple. There is no "passing" on Stamkos.
- Richards18

if they trade Versteeg they could hypothetically afford Stamkos/Richards and a Cole/Laich/Talbot. They would just pass on Leino. And I would be fine with that.

Not sure.

Not a huge fan of a Bob trade.
- Jsaquella

If trading Bob means acquiring Stamkos or even Brad Richards, i'll fly to Philly, take a cab to his apartment, help him pack his bags, drive him to the airport illegally, and hug him goodbye.

I agree. Keep him in the system. There's no better goalie to have in front of him then Bryzgalov as a fellow russian
- Richards18

Yea theres no rush to move him..........

Adam Larsson at 2:35 saying the first NHL jersey he owned was a Flyers Forsberg.
- Tomahawk

Damn, that's his first? I feel like Forsberg was a Flyer like 2 years ago! Time flies

- Crimsoninja

oh (frank), it's on now.

Wiz and White shoot righty....and Wiz is orally talented.

Just a few available forwards:

Scott Nichol $760,000
Mike Rupp $825,000
Rusty Fedotenko $1,000,000
Max Talbot $1,050,000
Pascal Dupuis $1,400,000
Joel Ward $1,500,000
Mike Grier $1,500,000

a little pricier:
Laich, Upshall, Brunette, Cole, Handzus, Arnott

and, yes... Gagne

Both Holmgren and Luuko just said that maintaining their defense (and possibly building upon it) was one of their keys to the off-season.

They're not trading a top-4 guy signed to a nice contract to move up in the draft, IMO.
- bradleyc4

And Carter and Richards are untouchables.... Versteeg goes and they add back to the blueline via FA?

Bob and Carle to Colorado for number 2... Larrson
Versteeg and 8th to Florida for number 3... Landeskog
Sign Richards, Leino, Gagne.

I must have been mistaken.
- PLindbergh31

No I heard something about that too about 2 weeks ago. It'd surprise me, because that's like REALLY high.

- flyguy12

Would be a terrible way to try rebuild the future -- trading away solid players with solid contracts to move up 5 spots in the draft. Then overpay for a replacement for that solid player via UFA.

Man, who was the last Flyer to sour on the fans as quickly as Versteeg did? Flyers fans were thrilled to have him added last year and within a few months everyone hated him! I can't remember another player like that

I love how the article says they wont make more moves yet its out they are trying to move up in the draft

They wouldn't be able to fill any of their holes in the line-up let alone sign Simmonds or Voracek.

i'd like to see talbot here.

Well, I think its pretty safe to assume he is pissed, 11 years in Columbus...
- Liebing

I spent 2 years in that poophole and it about did me in, Poor carter. Plus its a college town, yeah, but have you seen the corn-fed college girls in Ohio?

Shelley?

Also what about that guy who was supposedly the best European player ever, and then was a bust, Dopita?

- rshnk29

Do me a favor... go stand in front of a mirror, look yourself right in the face and say "I would prefer the Flyers to pass on Steven Stamkos if they are in a position to acquire him and sign him to a long term deal."

If you can do this, take your computer and smash it against the wall so we don't need to speak with you anymore.

I think Jalen Rose put together the ESPN NHL Mock Draft

Have you handed out any tickets since the trades? Shoot anyone?

Hahahahahaha that's funny. If they do not do anything I will want to hurt Homer.
See I hate it when they say "don't excpect this", because they could be telling the truth, or they could be lying and ready to pull off something major. (frank) I hate that.

I always knew what I was getting



Banner year...smoke up Johnny!
