I genuinely like Voracek, but one has to wonder what is contract demands are. Patrick Elias said he was the Flyers 2nd best forward in the playoffs behind Giroux. Thats a mighty tall compliment from a player who is synonymous for clutch. Only 49 points last year, almost looked snakebitten when he did shoot, which he did far too little. Great hands, great speed, 6'2 210+ and he's only 22.

I'd go 3 years 11 million, 2015-16 season D.Briere contract is up. Hopefully G is signed long term as well as Couts Reader and BSchenn re-upped in 2014-15

how much would you sign him for? 5/27?
- flyersfan51

5 years for Semin?
no way

1 year would be a big gamble

Manayunk Mike is tweeted 2 minutes ago

"Amazingly, I've been told #flyers have "legit" interest in Alex Semin. Probably doesn't happen, but PHI considering all options right now."

Please no...

- flyersfan51


He has talent and playing with Giroux makes it more tempting but I dont know have to see years an money. Why is he even still available at this time?

doesnt cost any players/picks and they can always trade him for picks if things dont work out...low risk nothing to loose.
- Philly1980


Nothing to lose? He'll likely require 3-5 years and at least 5M per year. That's a high risk if he continues to show a lack of hustle, etc.

Agreed. He's from Manayunk, that's all you need to know.

I actually think Jagr wasnt a half bad defensive guy. At least when compared to Briere. Giroux also needs to get much better defensively. His defensive numbers after January 1st last season were atrocious.

I've often mistaken Briere for driftwood in his own zone

@D_Leed

Mostly Flyers chatter, but he updates around the league and is pretty good with it. And then all the TSN Analysts.

If Semin is a complete fail with the Flyers, where does he go? To the K. And we're off the hook.

His last deal with the Caps was 1 yr 6+M
I think he still has something to prove before someone gives him a 5 yr deal,

History. Everyone is assuming that no offers for Semin is due to perceived character issues. Possibly a good assumption, who knows.

So if he's not getting good offers now, and he bombs with whatever team signs him, it's likely that no one will rush to trade for him.

And where do all miserable Russian players who feel under-appreciated, under paid, or un-loved go...

To the K.

Radulov, Zherdev, etc etc.

Semin is a pretty talented player and I thought he played hard for Hunter. He's a risk but doesn't cost anything but money. I'm on the fence but I would look around first before making an offer.

Just because a handful of players did one thing doesn't mean every Russian player will. If that was the case why didn't he do it already.
