Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Wellwood vs Harry Z, Today in Flyers History

Thanks Bill!

I like Wellwood, and think he has a place on the team as a 4th line/energy guy/pk'er.

I still think this team needs a lumberjack on defense and a big defensive oriented winger/forward.

I would be happy with those two acquisitions. I feel like they can win with the roster they ended the season with if they tweak it a little by adding the above mentioned pieces.

Wouldnt mind someone like Burish on a cheap 1 or 2 year deal, plug him into the 4th line. After the Pens series I hate Asham, but I really enjoyed what he brought to our team when we had him, I think Burish is similar to him.

Wellwood has the inside track to earn a roster spot.

That Nash won't waive his NTC stuff is complete garbage. Homer is trying to drive his price up though. Boston and NYR going really hard.

Flyers priority remains Weber.

I agree on both counts.

Right now, yes. But things can change in a hurry.

Were you the guy that said we were in on Weber? What is your source's update?

I am very optimistic based on your past posts.

If* the Flyers do end up trading for Weber, I would like to see Kyle Wellwood come join his brother. Who know what kind of Chemistry they could develop. If* the current rumor of JVR, Voracek, Bourdon and 2 firsts is true (and I do it in a second) we will need to pick up at least 1 winger, and resign Jagr.

Silly Season Lines:

Hartnell-Giroux-Jagr
Schenn-Briere-Simmonds
Wellwood-Couturier-Wellwood
Read-Talbot-Rinaldo

Timonen-Weber
Gorssmann-Coburn
Lilja-Meszaros

Harry Z, Sestito, Gus. Call-up and/or HS.

Right now, yes. But things can change in a hurry.

Bill what is your feeling about bringing in Wellwood's brother who is UFA?

Did we get Weber yet?

Somehow i get the feeling hes working with howson to drive up the price for the rangers..

Wellwood can be a force to be reckoned with. If only he had a lickle more finish.

Remember this gift?

Rick Nash will be playing for the St. Louis Blues. Mark it down.

Gotta go with Wellwood....there were a few times while he was on the PK that his spped was forcing opposing D-men to make faster passes and force the puck a bit more. There were also times when he straight out beat players into the zone and forcheck on the PK.....That kid is FAST. My only knock on him is I feel like his feet/legs are moving faster thank his brain/hands....his legs seem to be ahead of his stickhandling and shooting....but that will come as he plays more.

As bill pointed out this day was pretty historic in flyers history with Nashville...

Things aren't moving too swiftly right now. We'll see though. That could all change if Sniders gets what he wants.

Naww i see the Rangers wrecking their chemistry to get him just so he doesnt goto the flyers...I would love to see what happens between Nash and Torts when Torts benches Nash for not blocking shots. LOL

Burish is the better player at this stage of their respective careers. He's younger, smarter/savvier than Asham on the ice, and comes without any off-ice concerns. Asham is the better fighter, though.

- LordStanley88

Snider always gets what he wants! Thats why i love/hate him. Either way guys we are lucky as our team with the exception of a few years is always competitive. Well get the cup one year! Imagine being a TML fan!
