Trade Rumors

[jerseyjigroe]

If this is true i hope TB asked for the world to give him up.

Yeah, but is a rental player so I don't know how much they can really get for him.

People speculating that Kubina would prefer to go to NY since he won a Cup w/ Torts before.

JJG i just read something on the disneyland sight that says the 5 teams on Nash' approval list are Rags Toronto Boston, Kings and Sharks, do you know if this is true and if it is how can he not pick us even though we wouldnt go after him

gotta think the pitt scout is working for the game this weekend..

columbus - no idea, perhaps lusting after what they gave up for carter?

montreal - potential gil deal

washington - potential schultz deal

san jose - there was talk of douglas murray a while back, but i dont think there's anyway the sharks move him, he's too important to them (IMO).. also could be scouting the flyers while the team is on the east coast for the game at the end of feb (can't wait, 3rd row seats )

colorado - quincey

ottawa - no idea

that's my guess as to what they're all looking at

 

[awaz]

dreger says flyers probably aren't done working on the blueline.. 'would like to add 1 more and will look all options (schenn, johnson, gill)

@ballhock claims flyers are in major talks with the ducks

grain of salt: i'm losing faith in this guy

For who? Visnovski?

For who? Visnovski?

thats the only thing i could guess.. but i really dont think the ducks are gunna sell.. they are on some kind of roll right now

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Sbisa?

 

[banditshcky11]

Only players I would be interested in off ANA are Perry, Ryan, Fowler and Sbisa.

I hope it's not for Vis cause he will prob cost us a good bit and we won't re-sign him anyway.



oh oh oh possibly Bryz for Hiller

 

[flyersfan4706]

What would Sbisa cost us, our 2nd?

If so, Homer blowing thorugh 2 2nds within a few hours would be rather humorous.

Oh I'd kill for this deal. I love Hiller.

2nd &4th/5th prob he was a 1st round pick remember and he's signed long term to a very cap friendly deal I think 2.2m a yr.

 

[awaz]

I'm done with him.. He thinks the flyers are after getzlaf

 

[banditshcky11]

If we could move Briere, Carle & a 1st for Getlaf and Sbisa I'd be cool with that. I highly doubt that it would happen or was even talked about tho.


The problem is with a lot of this big name, big $ guys is that we simply can't fit them in with some of the contract we currently have, Briere's being the worst. I know Timonen's is about the same(bigger I think) then Brieres cap hit, but Timo provides good value where as Briere has always shit the bed in the regular season and then finally decided he wanted to play in the playoffs. Actually it isn't even that he's wanted to play, he just always drew the weakest units again him because the Flyers had Richie and Carter at C drawing the big attention. Secondly we don't have 2 big forwards to surround Briere with anymore since those types of guys play with G who already far surpassed DB in terms of everything hockey related.

All that said in order to make a big move and bring in a "star" type player Briere has to go first, I'm hoping he is only day to day after last night and Homer has the common sense to get a list of teams he would goto. If the asshole says none I'd permanently throw him in the press box until he agrees to leave or try to put him on those $125 waivers(not sure how that works). Now I know you all think I hate Briere and I do, but that isn't what drives my desire to have him gone. He was given a contract that he could never live up turn and has yet to earn that is crippling the team(same as Bryz so far). In fact the contract is more the Flyers front office's fault for panicking after 1 bad season because Carke went out and signed 3 ogres who couldn't skate to play D and they left poor Nitty out to dry all season long.

This is a young team, almost one that looks like it's 3 years into a 5 year rebuild plan, it makes sense to move out some of these big contracts in order to get not only younger but tougher. I want to them playing blue collar hockey winning board battles, clearing the porch, getting to the front of the next, standing up for one another, sacrificing their bodies to make plays(within reason) & skated hard a full 60 minutes every night so when they come off the ice they have left no doubt to themselves or the fans that they did all they could to get 2 pts. Homer needs to realize this team's time s in the next 1-3 years and they have to set themselves up for what I'm hoping is back to back cup because they easily have the talent to do so.

Take it for what it's worth,

Scratch Philly off the list of Teams Kubina could be headed to. Add the Rangers and Senators.

Especially where Eklund is concerned.

 

[jerseyjigroe]

Especially where Eklund is concerned.

Yeah, definitely. The thing w/ him is he reports on EVERY SINGLE thing he hears...even when it isn't plausible or feasible.

 

[TOX1]

lol Yeah....he's a total joke.


Then again....his site does say "rumors", so...
