I think it will take just one trade to get this thing started. All the GMs are sitting around to see who goes first. BE ballsy Homer.

4 for 16.51?

Suter. Has nothing to do with being a "smartie". I hear people say how are they going to replace Carter and Richards. You have no idea what defenseman can step in and be just as effective as Carle. Its not a one way streetm, goes both ways.
- stveshdy

Oh yes sutter wants to sign here...thats a guarantee right! what a joke your counting your chickens before they hatch!

ps i was in favor of removing those two pieces of poop before it happened and i took a lot of poop for it!

jvr carle + 1 other thing - nash

A Nash deal makes no sense for this team

Whats a joke? You asked me who can replace Carle and I gave you a player that will be available.

- Just5

why nash is a major upgrade over JVR and carle is probably gone we only really lose the +1 thing

He will get atleast 4 years at 20M minimum.

Your lowballing an offer to a young defenseman who has talent. Those types of defenseman are at a premium. Why would he sign for less than $5M per year?

I know but at the same time we cant simply dismiss carle as an easily replaceable piece.
- Philly1980

Is he easily replaced? No, but he is replacable. And the Flyers can replace him better by trading for a younger d-man, then overpaying for Carle. If Carle wants to take a Home-Twon discount... say between 4.5 to 5.25 million then I may resign him. If not I trade his rights to a west coast team, and add another 2-3rd round pick to our stock. Hopefully we can package some of our picks to get another first.

why? are gms afraid to offer contracts for some reason?

Good point. So many teams on the cusp too.

Far more likely due to how tight the playoff races are. And teams are waiting as long as possible to figure out how they want to play it.

remember the young talent we gave monster contracts out to? how'd that work out
