The asking price should be very high for a young talented kid. I dont even think the Flyers are this impatient to trade Couturier.

You need young PROMISING kids like Cooties for low cap deals to be competative.

Especially when you are looking at a high priced D core. Cooties has hit a wall yes. However in his first season he is killing penalties against top players, has played very well with 4th line players on his wings and shown he will be a solid NHL player.

This isnt a Nodl. You can see the talent and hockey sense.

Of course I do. I'm an editor.

How about resign when they mean re-sign? And all the homophones (There, they're, their...here, hear). It's a good thing my eyes are attached or they'd roll right out of my head!

The only way IMO they trade him would be in some kind of mega-deal for a guy like Weber. I have to imagine, rookie wall or not, Couturier is one of the highest touted rookies/prospects in the league.

Most of twitter isn't rumor idiots, most of it is actual writers breaking actual news.

I would agree. Unless your getting back a true number one defenseman (who is in his prime) it makes no sense to deal a young kid like Couturier.

There are also people in other avenues of life (entertainment, non-sports news, etc.) that have nothing to do with trade rumo(u)rs whatsoever.

I get all kinds of news from twitter in addition to talking puck.

An impending UFA at a position the Flyers were hurting for? Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and call it a lucky educated guess.

Yup. I follow news, weather and other topics on twitter, besides hockey.

Which he basically could have done by reading one of Bill's blogs.

I know you have a history website of the Flyers. Has any Flyer ever won the Hart Trophy?

It's not my site, but I use it. Bobby Clarke won 3 Hart tropies in the 1970's and Lindros won it after the 1995 season.
