It's been along time coming. Carle has gone from being pair with Chris Pronger to being pair with Danny Syvret, Marc-Andre Burdon and Erik Gustafsson. I feel any NHL caliber defenseman would work magic on Carle's play.

Suprised as well, guy should of been there a bit ago

He was a special kind of brutal today

if i were single and didn't have kids i would have broken something in my house today.

If I'm the Flyers I'm not trading JVR. He has been injured most of this year. Bad PR move. I understand wanting to improve the team, but it better be a hell of a return from TOR

If Burke overpays I say DEWWWWWW IITTTTTTTT!!

If they cant handle being in different roles throughout a season when you know injuries occur then there is a problem. The contracts and money being given out is an issue. I would seriously consider being sellers if these guys are one dimensional.

We obviously have different opinions and I completely understand what your saying. I just think what looks good on paper doesnt always mean it works on the ice.

Richards and Carter were traded and had value, I dont see how Messy, Coburn, or Carle doesnt land you talent when you look at the asking price for defenseman. I would love to add more picks or young players to this roster. As I see it right now this team isnt good enough to contend for the cup. They will be competitive but when they face the elite teams in the East come playoff time they are going to be outmatched.

It's not just a different role for part of the season. It's basically a different role for an entire season. Pronger's played like 9 games. It's not asking a guy to fill in for four or five games.

Carle, Meszaros and Coburn can all land you talent in a trade, but at the same time, a team trading for one of them isn't likely to be trading you a defenseman who is as good as one of them. So you weaken the defense or force yourself to pay a premium for a FA who is as good as the guy you're shipping out.

I'd rather be paying Coburn $4.5mm than Johnny Boychuk.

Considering how dull said anatomical objects are, that would not only totally ruin someone sexually for life (perhaps for some people it wouldn't but for most) but man that poop has to hurt
gah

My kids learned a few new words, but I'm not breaking my own poop over this season. It's a learning curve kind of year, going to be ups and downs.

Boycuk is going to make $4.5M???
What good is Coburn if this team isnt good enough to win?
I would rather have picks and younger talent for less money and build this team for the future.

Wait so being married and having kids means you should not break things due to a game? that explains a lot See you learn something everyday

I dunno ask Nutter
- bigmookalookie

Hmm methinks asking one with the name "nutter" about being stabbed in the eye's with male genital is not conducive to an agreeable response.

, Giants drive and kick GWFG

I would like to see who are the top 5 teams in the league that spend the most money for their top 6 defenseman. Would like to see where the Flyers are on that list.

Coburn is 27. The Flyers could be strong contenders as soon as next year. It's not as if Coburn is 34 and on his last legs.

Gleason just signed for $4mm. Boychuk is similar, and younger. I think he could get 44.5mm

Not against Coburn just saying he could land you some picks and maybe even younger defensive prospects (someone who is a year away or ready next year).

My kids learned a few new words, but I'm not breaking my own poop over this season. It's a learning curve kind of year, going to be ups and downs.

i don't necessarily have the mental toughness to think about that when i'm enraged.
