More should have come back from their end. Mezz maybe packaged now if carle is re-signed

This move puts the flyers in a position to be a player in absolutely everything this offseason....

Mez can't move the puck? I feel like he has more offensive upside than he's given credit for
- Dkos

I think he does also. But I don't think he has the upside to match Carle in that area.

when you consider they can go over the cap by a bit over the summer and then the amount of space freed up from Pronger and Kimo's LTIR I think yea they are gonna go full blast after a FA, either Parise or...
- JoeRussomanno

If your thinking Weber, I would think the Schenn trade eliminates that no?

I think your forgetting about that 5+ mill d man that is andrej mezjaros
- Phifly10

i think you missed the point

Schenn joins his brother in PHI & gives #Flyers 1st significant RH-shooting D man since Eric Desjardins retired in 06 (@mtrible)

probably why we didn't get more in return. Burke held us to the fire!!

you considered schenn the most physical dman in the league?
- Crimsoninja

he is credited with 270 hits, not sure if that's the most in the league but he's definitely a top 10 most physical, I'd say.

Didnt have the huge open-ice hits, but hit more than any other dman.

Your missing a lot of people there that need to be accounted for in the off season.

hmmm yes and no unless they plan on moving Mezaros. Or not resigning carle.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Didnt have the huge open-ice hits, but hit more than any other dman.
- Feeling Glucky?

nice

I hate this trade. I hope I am wrong, but I think this will come back to haunt us.

Schenn was a healthy scratch on a brutal leafs team.

- JoeRussomanno

Most for defenseman. Schenn is the type of D man that Philly loves.

Capgeek does not track the off season Cap. That is a guesstimate for the Season.

Bill, help!! Can this be an ok deal for us??? I really think JVR had so much upside. Can Luke be better than folks are giving him credit for???

I'm not bill but I'd say time will tell, for now tho yes and yes to your questions.

could have been JVR for JBo

Just cause Holmgren said he wants to re-sign Carle does not mean he is going to after this move. I would rather have Meszaros than Carle.
- Flyers2821

I included "if" for a reason

could have been JVR for JBo
- JoeRussomanno

Yikes

I need time for this to sink in. Not enough for JvR.

My first thought was, Is Homer channeling Bob Clarke?
