If anaheim isn't taking that offer then they are either retarded or they got some huge offers form elsewhere. If it's even true....

I'd rather drop Read and add a second.

Unless they feel Cousins is ready. Didn't watch him play much this year so not sure.

As in Joe Broni? I like it.

gotcha.....so it's basically like I posted it on Twitter.
- flyersfan51

yeah, except somehow this guy has convinced a lot of people that he knows something. i don't get it.

I wonder what the Wombat has heard.

I can't keep up with all these amateur insiderrs.

Right, If I were the Ducks, Ryan would already be on his way east. Depending on who else they have been offered.

The Flyers need to avoid getting in to a bidding war for a player that is essentially a luxury.

You don't trust "jabroni"?

- aosplayo

uh....oh....really?

Will see what happens but I think the Flyers like Ryan a lot.
- stveshdy

That is a lot but Ryans a good scoring winger. That deal also is almost even cap wise, which if they were to make a run at Parise they still could.

We talked earlier about Parise even wanting to come here, if we say all moneys equal, where'd he choose. Playing with a fellow USA member and alongside one of the up and coming superstars in Giroux might sweeten the pot.

I think if they get Bobby Ryan, Parise does not come here....we'd probably sign a defensemen.

if one of the categories is "high and wide" then yeah -- but I think i'd rather have Ryan than Carter.
- flyersfan51

In order to have a full Season for each player, using the 10/11 Season.

Carter attempted 449 shots in 10/11. He missed the net 114 times.

Ryan attempted 358 shots in 10/11. He missed the net 88 times.

Do the math and what the percentages are.

SOURCE: #Flyers have offered Meszaros, Read, and a 1st round pick in 2013 to #Ducks for Bobby Ryan. So far, no deal. Talks ongoing.



Effing INSANE if this is even close to being true.
- MBFlyerfan

Lets say this rumor is true and the deal does get done. Without thinking about who was traded etc. What do you think of this year's team.

Ryan-Giroux-Jagr
Hartnell-Briere-Voracek
Schenn-Couturier-Simmonds
Wellwood-Talbot-Rinaldo

Timonen-Schenn
Grossmann-Coburn
Carle-Bourdon

Bryz
Birons or other UFA.

Extras: Sestito, Harry Z, Gus, Lilja.

Is it balanced. Is the D stong enough? How is the offense?

I agree...no bidding war - it's like a bonus for us...we don't NEED him.

pushy......sheesh

The note said - ongoing negotiations... Meszaros, Read, and a 1st round pick in 2013 to for Bobby Ryan

Maybe the "and" is an "or"... Maybe it's not just Ryan but Ryan+. Deals rarely go down as the rumor states.

I would do that trade, I'd see if they'd take 2 2nds instead of the first tho

You do the Math.

If the ducks need help on D and this Schultz is so good, why are they letting him walk?

Bourdon wouldn't be the 6th d-man; they'd sign a FA if that deal were to go down.

- JoeRussomanno

he doesn't want to play there. I also think Anaheim might be wanted to rebuild.
