Flyers acquire Grossman

[mall3013]

At the very least I love his size. Hopefully he plays with attitude.

The 3rd was also from Min in the Powe trade. So technically we traded away our extra picks for help on D. I love this deal now.

Good stuff!

Nice way to put it. I'm looking forward to watching him play. I don't recall seeing much of him when we played the Stars earlier this season?

To be honest I have really only heard of him via rumors over the past fewk months.

for a d-man that's a good thing

flyers now have

Flyers 1st rd pick
Panthers 2nd rd pick (FLA choice of this year or next year)
Sharks 3rd rd pick (via FLA)
Flyers 4th
Flyers 5th
Flyers 7th

in this years draft, and a full compliment of their picks in 2013 plus the potential panthers 2nd

I don't know much about Grossman. Flyers def needed help on D but is Grossman (a rental player) worth two draft picks?

I was at 1st happy and pulled it back a minute when I thought 2nd and 3rd is alot for a rental. I am still going to say good move as he is a legit top 4. We are better today than yesterday.

 

[chy1127]

For those that don't know about him. He is a big body top 4 guy. Plays alot of special teams. I said it once and will say it again. We are better today than yesterday.

Very solid move. I don't even care if we resign him, right now we just need depth for the playoffs.

Lets worry about the future in the offseason.

Very very good move for THIS season. I think this is a great approach to the post-season.

Sharks 3rd rd pick

Umm...the fuck?

 

[awaz]

Umm...the fuck?

sorry, added the via florida late

the versteeg trade was a 2nd round pick in 2012 or 2013, and a 2012 3rd, that was the sharks who traded it to move up in the 2011 2nd round

Umm...the fuck?

Philadelphia Flyers Future Draft Pick Status

this site is cool btw.

 

[awaz]

nevermind.

 

[dspice07]

I'm happy about the trade

I heard Philly was interested in Grossman since last november, well i guess Homer got his man. I hope they can sign this guy though.

Add Gill and the Flyers are ready to go.

 

[raptorlife4]

Great move by Homer.
We still need 1 more guy, I say go for Gill, cheaper option and playoff ready.
Being from Toronto Id like to get Shenn but Burke is going to want someone big and the FLyers would overpay. I was ok with JVR for Shenn earlier but have changed my mind.
I love Gills size and again could be had for a draft pick. Another option is Kubina

Burke could settle for a Briere and Carle for Schenn and a pick?

Funny. After all of our talk about Gill, Allen etc...etc...etc, Homer ends up getting Grossman first.

...and for basically nothing too??


Shiiiit....

 

[jerseyjigroe]

I haven't read one single rumor w/ Briere mentioned in it. I think this is more wishful thinking by Flyers fan and not really part of Homer's plans. Of course, anything could happen but I highly doubt Briere will be moved.

One more dman couldn't hurt though? If we got Gill or Allen as well then that'd be awesome!
