not saying i wouldn't strongly consider, and probably enjoy, a hartnell/carle for suter trade
but carle has been damn good so far this year.. perhaps our best d-man (i know, only 5 games).. granted he's always awesome early in the season.. but still, he deserves some credit that he isn't getting on here
That was pretty much my point Awaz everyone hammers the kid when in reality he's played pretty good. Some of that has to do with Pronger but the same goes for suter playing with weber good players make others better and good defensive systems can make dmen and goalies look better than they maybe are as well. I know suter would be great here but there may be a cheaper stay at home like regeir that would have done the same job that's required. Maybe they can find a guy like that in the coming years once Timonen is done but do they need that now? IMO not really.
After all of this Harts may just be traded for a draft pick or prospect and I'm cool with that mainly due to the cap hit...but can they find someone to dance with? Maybe the second chance Flyers (kings). : )
There had been talk on hartnell & a d-man(hopefully Carle) for on of nashviles rfa d-men(probably suter). I'm not sure if these talks have died completely now or what, but even if we sent hartnell out and got 2nd(maybe a first depending on team and if anything else were to be moved out) that would solve the F issues and maybe give some minor cap relief.
Bandit where did you see this anyway?
Super excited for this, though I was hoping Shelley would be the casualty
Great thread. Where to start?
Rinaldo out - Shitty in? = Fuck no. Dumb move.
Lines? = Agree with almost everyone....put the useless cock sucker down on the 4th or bench him/her till a trade can be worked out.
Suter Trade = Maaan....I wouldn't give up Carle, but they could have Walker, ******** and maybe Hamels for him. lol
yes i agree, nashville takes all of our junk and we get a great player in return!

This may be Schenn up and Harry Z with Rinaldo down.
But is a move that I an simply Google really worth making an "Insider" thing?
EDIT: Fuck youre right...
That trade would be a dream come true for our Flyers, especially if we were able to re-sign Suter. It would also clear enough cap space to play every rookie we want to play, plus potentially make a move at the deadline to acquire a top line forward (or two lesser forwards) assuming we have an injury or two.
I just fucking hate Scotty Hartnell. As it said in that article, since he's joined the Flyers, he leads the Nhl in minor penalties with 192!! I know he's a bit of an agitator, but that is fucking unacceptable, especially for a guy that's averaged only 19 goals over the past couple seasons. We could probably get that production out of Matt Read for God's sake and certainly guys like Voracek, Simmonds or Schenn (and at a much cheaper price). For that matter, I feel that guys like Simmonds and Talbot have already taken away whatever role Hartnell ever played on this team anyway.
I also feel like the guy is much more willing to waive his no-trade clause now that he's sitting on the third line getting only 11 minutes per game. It's only a matter of time before he gets moved.
