Who says Schenn is going to play 10 minutes a night. Cap space isn't an issue. There is also a chance that Timonen isn't ready to start the Season.
- MJL

Bill seems to think there is a pretty good chance Kimmo isn't ready to go by game 1. I wouldn't move a d-man unless we're getting another one back in the deal.

No way they get seth jones he projected no1or 2 with Nathan mckinnoN

nyr are not resigning prust? hed be a good flyer

Whos to say they dont resign Carle and move another defenseman out? The Flyers have plenty of money to bring Carle back. I actually hope they keep all the defenseman. Helps to limit all the defenseman minutes when your that balanced.
- stveshdy

Well yes ok if they sign Carle and move one out, well then that's different, but signing Carle and keeping all 6 plus Bryzgalov is a lot of $$$ behind your blue line

$32 million??? As well as getting a back up goalie

I would like a righting upgrade instead of all that $ on D

That makes no sense

Great role player

I like the trade jvr has all the talent in the world but he doesn't put it to use he seems kinda lazy to me like he turns it on when he wants to

When you think about it the Flyers will be losing Timonen next year. I would keep all 6 guys if possible. Getting that 6M+ back after next year to upgrade a forward position. Flyers still have money to upgrade their offense this offseason as well.

I know but think of what it would take to get the 1st or 2nd pick unless they totally blow this year

I'd think right now anyway it's too early but Seth Jones is one that's already highly thought of for 2013

I'll say it now to make a move up in that draft will be pretty steep.

Kimmo not ready. Well then that may explain it, then if he's out ok
We will have 5 top guys ready with the trade then if he's out

Toronto beat the Blue Jackets in the Finals. Flyers finished 4th in East, lost to Pitt in round 1. :/

That makes no sense

I love Hartnell and he was awesome last year, but I don't see him scoring 37 goals again. I know we have 3 line forward depth and all, but I would like a natural scoring winger someplace in this lineup.

Yes, seriously. Because you need a blend of defenseman, and the right mix. And you need that puck moving offensive defenseman. All signs point to Carle being re-signed.
- MJL

I agree Carle comes back. Not to mention Kimmo's $6.3 million comes off the books next season. I think this move helps the team 'this' season (by adding more depth for injuries, reduced minutes) and puts us in a good position with Kimmo's $ if a player like Weber is an available UFA next season. Grossmann, Carle, Schenn, Coburn would be locked up for 3 more seasons at reasonable contracts and Mez would be a tradable asset with 1 season left. jmo.

They could go after Parise.

Passing the time, nothing wrong with it, these are names they'll likely never have a shot at anyway

Flyers simply cannot afford to trade any more pieces, unless it's a pick. Bob was our main "chip" that we could afford to trade. JVR wasn't quite a "chip", but we were able to bolster our defense.

Now we have to replace JVR and Jagr (potentially).

I think your going to see more minutes from Read, Simmonds, Schenn, Voracek and Couturier.

Here's the thing...

If JVR does not improve one bit from his current level of play, he is still a top 6 forward who will score 20-25 goals.

If Luke Schenn does not improve one bit from his current level of play, he's a 5/6 defenseman that will have trouble staying in the lineup on a team that plays an up tempo style.

Not equal value if nothing changes.

Obviously the Flyers think he'll improve, and in a few years this will seem like a fair deal. But right now, the players are not equal. I think that's what is bothering a lot of folks about this deal. Just have to hope the Flyers are right about what the future holds.

that's my read

Harts. G. Voracek

Read. Briere. Schenn

Talbot. Coots. Simmonds



Easy to upgrade winger now and drop Read and Talbot.


But who?

Per Lou Nanne who knows there owner.

One he will have trouble turning down so they say

I hope they try and make a run for Parise. Your boy!
- stveshdy

My boy but I did predict Flyers would have no shot.
