That could be the case, but if Im serious about winning i dont stay in Nashville. Their retention of players is horrible. LOL thats where the flyers get most of their defensemen from .

How many d-men have we got from them?

And, if I am looking to play on a winning team, i look at the most successful teams over the past 5 years or so... and Nashville is high up on that list.

Lol i guess we would probably have to drive around and ask some old hags in south jersery for the answer to that one LOL.....

My money's on MacLeish.

I'm surprised someone let him "acquire" the rights to make it. I "guess" that would be an Ed Snider decision.

Wait. It's legit? I read it and assumed it was a joke.

You know what im not going to pass judgement till i actually see it....Have you ever seen some of peter jacksons movies before lord of the rings?

Also, guys like Coots, Schenn, Voracek, and Simmonds are going to limit his ice time especially on the PP.

I like JVR, but I see the rational for trading him.
- ravishingone

Absolutely, it's not unreasonable for JVR to be considered as a trade piece given the situation. I just fear many have written off the potential benefits of keeping him. It's easy to get swept up in the hype of the offseason (I'm not impervious, either), but you know what they say about the move you don't make.

A healthy JVR would eventually take away Simmonds' first-unit PP time, in my opinion, and is currently more power play time worthy than Schenn or Voracek (although that could change in time).

No its legit.. I think it will probably end up being a pretty good flick

I agree - on a somewhat related note, anyone know when Kevin Smith's hockey movie comes out?

Bill... if it were your choice (i know you dont go into this stuff really), would you rather be patient or go all in now and try to make big moves?

They seemed to like Voracek on the point a lot last year. He has the body type to be a better net presence in front of the net instead of Simmonds, but does he really have the desire? I think the issue with JVR is not the ability, but the willingness to continually use his size to his advantage.

Not sure if you agree but it seems to me that the Flyers have lost confidence/trust in JVR. This is the image being put out there by the rumors. I think the Flyers are starting to lose patiences with him (from my view). Your thoughts ?

Patrick Sharp is a perfect example. I would rather see Homer trade JVR for d help and I think in the end, that will be the case if he is dealt.

What happened to Tim Thomas in the playoffs before 2011? Or Jon Quick in 2012. Or even Ed Belfour before 1999? Even Fleury's Cup was on his one really hot run in the playoffs. Other than that he's been an average playoff goalie.

There's reason for concern, but looking at things after one year is being knee jerk and reactionary.

Of course, I'm not ruling out anything. With this team, there's no such thing as the unexpected anymore.

I loved Peter Jacksons early movies, from Bad Taste to Meet the Feebles to Dead Alive... great movies on a low, low budget.

Well we know it wasn't this guy. He went on to star in Dumb and Dumber.
