And a player with that Cap hit should stand out.

If he made 4.5M, maybe I'd have some interest.
- MJL

To be fair, many in Detroit would take you that Nick Lidstrom wasn't very flashy and never stood out, especially 5 on 5.

I understand liking him too.

But that cap hit is just absolutely monstrous. That's a number that could SERIOUSLY (frank) a team up badly....
- Giroux_Is_God

*cough* Columbus

the fact that it's only two seasons definitely helps, no doubt

i just worry about who the flyers would have to lose in order to fit that cap hit on the roster

it may (at the very least) make more sense than acquiring nash

particularly if he comes cheap (in terms of assets)
- FlyerMike18

Totally agree.

*cough* Columbus
- JoeRussomanno

The Jackets were more screwed by their draft record than Nash's cap hit

Calgary isn't going to give him away. It would take a significant investment to trade for him.
- MJL

I agree that the just can't give J-Bo away. He is the top 10 worst player per $.

They would most likely have to throw in a pick.


J-Bo plus 2nd rounder for Flyers mid round pick

Lidstrom never stood out? I would disagree, but that's just my opinion.

Good luck with that.

Da Man strikes...

Since it's not actually Burke does it matter?
- ob18

I guess not

3 of the best defenseman who ever played for the Flyers, who were excellent defensively. Weren't defenseman that were considered physical defenseman. Howe, Desjardins, and Timonen
- MJL

Desjardins and Kimmo aren't exactly guys I would classify as defensive d-men.

Dont get involved, its predictable what goes on here.

Just have fun with it.

Only a message board.
- flyer_nutter

I get carried away. I need to be put in check and you just did it the right way.

I would be on the phone with Winnipeg. Enstrom and Kane make the most sense to me.
- stveshdy

It's strange to me that not many people are getting behind this. It's not the flashiest of moves, but it makes the most sense and wouldn't break the bank like almost every other move we've been talking about.

Not that it hasnt been all day, but its bat-poop crazy times now....



.....and I like it....

I agree.

Shea Weber's hit may well be higher than Nash's
- Jsaquella

I'm not a Weber advocate either.

I want to see a Mez-ish caliber defenseman added to the mix, and POSSIBLY a 4th line center to help out on the PK and in the faceoff dot.

nothing will ever surpass The Rapture, imo

Fair enough. I'm fine with tweaks. In fact I prefer making tweaks and letting the kids mature

Desjardins and Kimmo aren't exactly guys I would classify as defensive d-men.
- flyer_nutter

Desjardins and Timonen weren't very good defensively? They weren't regularly matched up against top lines, and play top minutes on the PK? The fact that they also had two way ability and could play offensively in all situations, doesn't take away from how good they were defensively. Which proves my point that you don't have to be a physical player to be very good defensively.

Whatever decision Homer makes this offseason I will support.

I live in the city.

Could see it happening as the team could use a shake-up, there was lots of noise last season as they didnt try to push for the playoffs.They need offensive help badly, so the Flyers would have to replace Kane and the Jets would want more offense coming back. Enstrom as well, wont be cheap to get.

Evander Kane is a great player but I question him. He has wanted out ever since coming to the city which I could understand however he looks lazy often and is questionable defensively at times. I'd gamble on a guy like that though.

I would personally much rather give up a guy like Read than Voracek though.
