Meszaros

Flyers deal 2nd round pick for Meszaros. Thoughts?

Seems like another Matt Carle pick-up. Great young puckmover with one team who went to hockey hell (aka the state of Florida) and suffered. I would like the move more if he wasn't our 3rd highest paid defenseman right now.

Done deal?

 

[cjs182848]

Funny, I was thinking the same as soon as I noticed his cap hit. Still gives us much needed depth imo. Hopefully Bartulis can step up being paired with a proven player.

All the Espn guys are doing live chat. Lebrun said homer just confirmed the deal.

 

[anderwho2513]

Yea, so now every pair has a young, smooth skating puckmover (Carle, Coburn, Meszaros) and a shutdown guy (Pronger, Timonen, Bartulis). As long as Leighton holds up and the forwards progress, it's a fine move.

Yes, this is official. Meszaros is a Flyer.

My concern is that we're left with just under $6 million to spend with Coburn, Carcillo and Powe still as RFA's and a possible move remaining in net.

coburn is the only rfa that teams might look at. We need to wrap him up.

 

[Maverick426h]

Wow, I just heard Gonchar signed with Ottawa. The Pens must be frantically looking for a few defensemen...lol

 

[cjs182848]

Not too sure what the next move will be, but I just have a feeling Homer's going to make another trade. Hopefully it will be before I go to work so I'm not going crazy all day wondering whats up!

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

I like the Meszaros move. Makes a bit too much but he has a lot of potential aside form that bad year last season.

Just heard Coby re-signed. Any confirmation on that?

 

[soulxflare]

I like the deal -- at least right now. I think this means that Leights is the guy in net, unless we move Hartnell/Carter.

Flyers re-sign Braydon Cobrun to 2-year deal, CSNPhilly.com has learned

From Panachio's twitter

Scott Burnside:
Pierre has confirmed the Flyers have re-signed Braydon Coburn to a two-year deal. So, does he remain a Flyer or is this part of a sign and trade plan to open up space for a goaltender? Riddle me this, though, what NHL team has a better blue line than the Flyers' Coburn, Meszaros, Timonen, Pronger, Carle? With all due respect to Chicago and Detroit, zero.

Tampa Bay Lightning's Andrej Meszaros plays through injuries small and big - St. Petersburg Times

 

[Vadered]

God, it's like having Lappy as a defenseman AND a forward.

 

[awaz]

i really like the move.. like ya'll said he makes a bit too much but he's not nearly as overpaid as some out there (gonchar comes to mind, 5.5 mil, lol, and of course redden).. but the flyers D is going to shut every m-f-er in the league down next year if it stays as is.. they basically have 5 guys that could play on the top pair (mez and coby have both done it before)
