Free Agent wish list?

[Progeriakid]

Who is on your flyers free agency wish list???

 

[awaz]

please none of the big names. short term, bargain type deals. reclamation projects.

NO niskanen
NO vanek

those are my two big requests.

 

[awaz]

oh and no erhoff.

 

[wbon22]

I had a scary thought.....

Leino.

He will have all of his buyout $$ so he could come cheap(er). He can play all three forward positions. He is a better wing than center. The Flyers need another wing, or at least depth on the wing. He can still skate and play D. It wouldn't be the worst thing to happen if the price is low enough. Doesn't solve the #1 LW need, but adds to the organizational depth on the wing.

 

[wbon22]

I keep hearing that a veteran defenseman may be a high priority as well. Be it a puck mover or a physical shot blocker...that I don't know.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nothing big

I'd like a guy like Nikolai Kulemin or Milan Michalek, a 6th-7th d-man like Keaton Ellerby and a backup goalie like Al Montoya and that's it - the latter two you won't have to get on day one

If they get rid of Vinny that will make things better

it's not super scary. on a super cheap contract I'd give him a look. he falls under the reclamation project category. Granted, he was horrific last season, but get him for like 1 mil and it's not that big of a risk. he has talent, he just sucked.

Nothing expensive, nothing long term.

Del Zotto would be my top choice

Trade Vinny, Grossmann & Streit (yes Striet) I don't care what the return is honestly just don't hold a lot of cap or take a bad contract back. We need to clear cap space and get rid of some of the older guys who don't fit what the Flyers are trying to do here (or at least what I feel they've said they're trying to do).

Try to sign Daniel Winnik & Kyle Quincy, I think they'd both be nice depth guys who would contribute with some size and decent speed. I'd look into Benoit Pouliot, he's another big body guy who can skate and has nice hands he would be a nice 2nd line LW but it really depends on the money.

To add I'd love Iggy, but I don't think it is even a possibility unless we move a few contracts and he isn't looking to break the bank.

 

[raptorlife4]

Iginla.

 

[awaz]

Iginla = Lecavalier imo.

 

[banditshcky11]

Iginla = Lecavalier imo.

How do you figure that? Iggy is a better skater, more physical and doesn't look out of place on a top line. I already said I'd rather address depth and add size/speed but Iggy is an upgrade over Vinny.

 

[lasgop8]

Iginla = Lecavalier imo.

This is way off base did you have a two martini lunch today?

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Iginla would be a better fit with Schenn and Simmonds than Vinny because he can play wing but he's slowing down couldn't keep up with G and Jake that's why Harts was moved. I'd still like Moulson to play there.

 

[soulxflare]

I wanted Ehrhoff at a 1/2 year deal, letting him go in time for the kids to take over. So much for that.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Still need a backup

 

[awaz]

good work so far from the flyers!

those bolland and pouliot deals are horrendous. the dan boyle deal in NY isn't very good either.

I read that Boyle left money on the table to go to NY too...

 

[Cobiemonster]

Who do the Flyers get as the backup goalie? Re-sign Ray Emery, trade for James Reimer, or sign Dubnyk, Nabby or dare I say it, Marty?
