Something interesting I heard

[awaz]

Bryz to the wild for a 4th
Penner to the caps for a 4th

Fasth to edmonton
Robidas to the ducks

Heating up!

I think his value was next to nothing at the start of the season. So the 2nd rounder reflects that improvement.

I'd be OK either way on that one I think. They still have Gus and Gil scratched. I'd like to claim corvo off waivers if they do deal Mesz though. Just to have an extra puck mover in case of injury.

I'm not a huge Joe Corvo fan but I wouldn't mind that I guess - a 2nd rounder for Mesz(depending on who trades for him) is a nice haul, 2nd round picks can be pretty useful

ya i don't love corvo either, but if they do deal mesz, it'd be nice to have him in case of injury

Yeah I imagine if they do trade Mesz, they'll have to get someone else - or maybe they could call up Ollie or someone like that? Even though their games are a little bit different

This is more along the lines of my issue with trading Mesz. The second round pick is good value for him. But, you need to go into the playoffs with at least 7 defensemen that you know can play minutes. 1 injury in the postseason would decimate your rotation otherwise. If he is traded, then someone must be signed to replace his roster spot or called up if that is right call. I know Gil has a track record of solid playoff performance, but he hasn't really played at all this year and when he has, he hasn't really looked good. He is not who I would want to rely on in playoffs.

joe corvo and cory conacher both put on waivers today by ottawa.. i'd have interest in both of those guys as waiver acquisitions....

Ottawa traded Ben Bishop for Conacher guess that didnt work out so well.

I agree - I'm just saying in general, if you can get good value for Mesz, it's probably wise to go ahead and do the trade - if the Flyers can get someone else in the fold that can play his minutes, that's even better

Who do I have to sell my soul to for us to pull off the basis of a Laughton-Kane swap?

 

[EVille3]

Just read that thefourthperiod.com is speculating that a package of B. Schenn, Read, a prospect and pick for kane...

Holy Piss!!! PASS!!!

Now this a good hockey trade. We could definitely use an actual winger.

Even though I like Read, that's actually still a tempting trade offer given that the prospect isn't Laughton and the pick isn't a first rounder. Patrick Kane is 6th in the Nhl in scoring. That's no fluke either. He has elite level speed and skill. Him with G would be an unstoppable combo.

He's talking about Evander, not Patrick

Yeah, well...fuck that then...lol

I'd rather trade for Byfuglien than Kane.

Mav no offense man but....huh?

 

[FlyerFinFan]

If you acquired Buff you'd have to use him like the Jets are right now as a fwd and point man on the PP. He's too much of a liability on D.

 

[EVille3]

He's talking about Evander, not Patrick

yeah, my bad. should have been more specific...Evander Kane was who I was referring to

 

[awaz]

i dont want any part of byfuglien. he's essentially a more extreme mark streit (all offense no defense), and the jets want top pair dman value for him.

 

[JBM73]

Reports that the Flyers are in on both Halak and Kesler, but I don't buy it since both were first linked to the Pens. This just sounds like an attempt to drive up the price and/or keep tabs on the Pens.

 

[EVille3]

Halak doesn't make sense to give up assets for...

As for Kesler, I'm not a fan of this move. But I am certainly all for making it seem like Flyers are interested so the Pens get fleeced...
