Rumour time - Columbus talking to Philly

[awaz]

homer would be stupid not to take this deal.

slam, bam, thank you columbus.

 

[jerseyjigroe]

I bet you we do not take this deal. I think Carter only gets moved as the very last resort.

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Honestly, you have to be snorting heroine and injecting marijuana to not make this deal if you are the flyers and this offer is in fact on the table.

 

[SLY]

... Sounds like a good time.

Heh! I won't hold my breath waiting for this deal to happen.

God hates the Flyers so you may want to look elsewhere.

Voracek has incredible skills and talent, but are you sure you want to trade a bona fide 50 goal scorer for a 50 point scorer?

If it means they can sign one of the better players at a position they have desperately needed for as long as I can remember, yes.

bona fide 50 goal scorer huh?

36
33
46
29

in the past 4 years

i'll give you bona fide 30 goal scorer.. he's good, but voracek, the 8th pick, and the cap space is definitely more valuable IMO

I honestly I would take 1 of the 3 and be happy. Give us all 3 and I'll

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I wouldn't give an extra pick along with Voracek. "Jake" had a better year than Jeff, imo.

Voracek was on the block almost the entire season. I know Philly needs to lower the payroll to sign Bryzgalov, but they better be carefull. 30 plus goal scorers don't grow on trees. Even if they don't show up in the postseason.

My mistake, I thought he scored 50 the other year.

Interesting, in my NHL10 (I know it's old) the computer made a trade that sent Carter to the Blue Jackets... Nash, Carter and Voracek was crazy effective and I had to battle hard to fight them off for the Art Ross trophy

I don't think our Philthy Phriends really give a shit about the regular season nowadays...

Hey, if Carter doesn't like the playoffs then Columbus is the perfect place for him.

Nah Florida makes more sense if we're talking about the playoffs. It's been a decade or so since they've been their.

 

[GagneFire12]

Man, tough crowd. That's a bad deal for the Flyers, plain and simple. I'll be very surprised if Carter gets dealt.

Especially while there are bums like Versteeg still on the roster.
