#Flyers most likely will not make offer sheet to RFA Shea Weber, I'm told.

Unless Schenn + 5 are going to Nashville as part of a Shea Weber deal, not interested.

my guess is nash would match any offer anywho

Absolutely not.

There seems to be this belief that Ryan is a star player. He is not.
- MJL

Maybe not a superstar, but I'd argue whether he's a star or not... Or better yet whether he's better than JVR.

Ryan - A Fan Favorite
6'2" / 209 / 25yrs - 5 season in NHL
Can play C or LW
Durable - only miss 1 game (flu) in 3 seasons. (first season miss 2 flu and 2 suspension)
Scores - 4 previous years with 30+ goals, many assists...
Grit - Averaging over 100+ hits a season

JVR - on the trading block
6'3" / 200 / 23yrs - 3 season in NHL
Only plays LW
Durable??? - never played a full season, 2 concussion and groin/hip issues.
Scores - Only one year over 20 goals (at 21), similar level of assists...
Grit - One season with 107 hits, other seasons where in the 30's.
Development - Way behind the level of Ryan.

Ryan out paces any current Flyers goal scoring over the past few years.

neither have I, and I can't see nashville not matching any offer. But then again, its carchidi we're talking about.

i'm slowly bringing it back

I bet you Schenn would have helped against the Devils.  Not saying he would have changed the outcome, but he could have helped.  Coburn, Meszaros and even Grossman aren't even anywhere near as physical as Luke Schenn.  He led the league in hits by a defenseman.  And he's only 22.  You're also misunderstanding me here.  I'm not saying Luke Schenn is a number one defenseman by any stretch of the imagination.  He by himself is not the answer.  The only true number one defenseman on the market this year is Suter.  But he can only play for one team and I'm not sold that he is a franchise defenseman either.  But getting Luke Schenn PLUS another defenseman would possibly solve their defensive woes.  Like I said 4 times already Garrison is the guy I want the most.  But just one guy is not the answer this offseason.
- TonyBazz

I'm aware that Schenn led the NHL in hits for a defenseman. As is everyone. And no, he wouldn't have a made a difference in the NJ Series. Don't know if having Pronger would have changed the outcome of that Series. Your overrating Schenn if you think he would have made a difference in that Series. I'm not misunderstanding you at all. They don't have a need for a defenseman like Schenn.
If they can get a true #1, one guy is the answer.

Yes I unfollowed him 6 months ago. I feel a lot less stress and anger when on twitter now

I disagree.. I just think people understand what JvR brings to the table. Some just want him traded for the sake of trading him.

I'm told #CBJ had the better offer than #Jets for Bobrovsky and #Flyers pulled the trigger. Likely a 2nd rounder and a 6/7. Still uncertain.

Hope it's their 1st round draft pick.
