Fixed. I'm shallow.

IDK about that... Larsson's hair was FA...BU..LOUS!

I should have wrote top 4 dman
- isaiah520

Gustafsson? Plus there's always free Agency, trades, drafts... Sill another 3 years till Pronger and/or Kimmo retire.

I have a serious feeling that 5 teams ahead of us made a big mistake passing up couturier. He's got Joe Thornton written all over him.

So basically the Flyers trade Mike Richards for a player said to play like Mike Richards, Then they traded Jeff Carter for a 1st round pick, that they used to pick a future Jeff Carter.

Uhhh he's top 4 potential for sure.
- FLYERSROCK!

not really from what I've read/heard

Timonen retires. Top young ufa dman signed. We move on
- Just5

He won't be that young.

- Scottie Upshall

sooooooooo leight.

Everyones says sign nodl? i like him hes ok but id rather see wellwood up just me
- Slammed81

I like Nodl's game. I'm not too impressed with Wellwood. You know who I wish never got injured? Jon Kalinski.

Trade or pick one up via UFA... with 12 forwards young guys are exposed as much as the young defensemen. They don't need one now, Homer does a good job of fulfilling needs.
- leon neon

prongers iffy, but we still have lots of time.

right, which would make him ready for 12-13, which what the original poster aked for. no?
- hammarby31

Yeah, i see his ceiling as a top 4 guy.

The guy put up 49 points in 72 games on a pathetically bad Phantoms team.

There is no possibility of that.
- MJL

Would you have preferred the Flyers take the big dman considering the age they have on the blueline?

Nodl is a much better NHL player at this point.
- MJL

Agreed. Wellwood got pushed around when up

Maybe they can snag Adam Clendening a player Bill mentioned.

Never a winner? Oh great...

Is passing and playmaking his forte? From what they're saying he's more of a hard nose defensive player with some offensive ability.

sooooooooo leight.
- hammarby31

from a business standpoint and the age of your core players, why the (frank) would you trade for a future Richards and Carter, when your window to win it all is now?

Heineken girl wanted him too.
- flyguy12

She has good taste.

- isaiah520

Ya. He sure seems like he can be a #4 dman.

that's a mouthful.

I will preface this by saying that I really have no idea about any of these players. Prospects are not my deal. But it does make sense to add a blue chip defensive prospect when they now have Schenn and Giroux.

Couturier is supposedly listed at 197 pounds by the draft guys. If he can put on about 10 pounds I think he may be able to play in the NHL next season.

because they are rotten human beings who were single-handedly destroying the organization.

Statin the obvious however how many goals did Nodl have in the second have of the season or that matter points rather see what we got in Wellwood not sayin dont sign nodl but like to see some new blood in the 4th line

Stars go for HUGE project defenseman Jamie Olesksiak.

Yikes. He's Fricken BIG!
Also is courtierier Considered Canadian, or American? He tried out for Team Canada, born in Canada, but parents are American I think?
Same thing with this kid. If he wants to win, he'll choose Canada, and if he wants to lose, but get more minutes, he'll go to the US.
