Trade Rumors

With Read out till april and Briere a no show till playoffs if they make it, I like this move for a 4th rounder. Added bonus, Gagne can finish where he belongs.

oh for the love of christ,don't give Homer any reasons to pick up the phone and call him.

If Foppa could stay healthy in a shortened season, wanted to come back and play & Homer didn't try to sign him. I swear to god I would burn down the WF center. The guy was the best all around player in world in his prime and is one of the best to ever play the game. That coupled with the similar puck handling and passing skills that Giroux is developing he'd be yet another phenominal mentor for G.

I do, too. With all the injuries, this is solid forward depth.

Gagne and Carchidi getting on at 9

it would be even better if he was actually still good...

Isn't he a 26 year old Rw? I really agree on this one. Whats one more over the hill forward? Please prove me wrong (unlike knuble)

I sure hope Homer doesn't give up our key pieces to get Buf? Briere is impossible to trade with his NMC. Only team he may consider would be Buffalo and we know they are in the tank. They have a lot of mediocre dmen.

I cannot wait for the reception Gagne gets tomorrow

McGinn has a broken orbital bone, I knew when I saw him drop the gloves with brown who was just looking for a fight he was gonna be in trouble. Another reason why Gagne was brought back.

Flyers' Danny Briere not interested in change of address

f the Wells Fargo Center press-box seating chart is any indication, Holmgren has been working the phones like a mad man. There were 21 scouts at Monday night's loss to Toronto, representing 15 clubs, including the general managers of Winnipeg and St. Louis.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Nothing is burning with the Jets. Their general manager, Kevin Cheveldayoff, and his executive staff showed up Monday only because their team was still on the East Coast after Saturday's contest in Philly.

The Blues are a different story. General manager Doug Armstrong visited Philadelphia for the second time in three home games, and also caught the Flyers in Toronto on Feb. 11.

According to sources, Armstrong has been asking for forward Danny Briere. He isn't the only one. Boston inquired about Briere last week, among others.

Briere, 35, is one player who isn't going anywhere. The Flyers have not asked Briere to waive his no-trade clause, and it isn't clear whether they're interested in moving him, but he provided an answer Tuesday.

Briere has a full no-movement clause - meaning he can't even be sent to the minors without his permission - and will not waive it to be dealt to any team in the NHL, regardless of destination.

"I don't want to comment on anything at this point," Briere told the Daily News. "Trades are not my department. I've been a Flyer for a long time. My heart belongs in Philadelphia with the Flyers. I can't see myself playing anywhere else."

Briere makes sense for a lot of reasons for a team like St. Louis - and even for the Flyers to be intrigued enough to move him. Currently, Briere isn't the type of player who will get a team into the playoffs, but getting there isn't likely the problem for the Blues. (They could use a boost up front, especially after Andy McDonald left practice Tuesday with an injury.)

He's still the NHL's most clutch performer, with 109 points in 108 career playoff games. In 68 playoff games with the Flyers, Briere has 37 goals and 35 assists.

Blues coach Ken Hitchcock probably has a hard time forgetting Briere's playoff magic from 2005-06, when Briere's Buffalo team knocked off the Flyers in six games. After winning a tough Central Division last season, St. Louis was swept in the second round by Los Angeles.

Most important, for a franchise like St. Louis where finances matter, Briere's $6.5 million cap hit does not match his remaining salary. He is owed $3 million next season and $2 million in 2014-15.

Understandably, Briere doesn't have interest in moving. This isn't a rental situation, where he'd only have to gut it out this season before becoming a free agent. His family is rooted here, including his three hockey-mad sons, Caelan, Carson and Cameron. He earned his right to veto any future deal when signing his 8-year, $52 million pact to join the Flyers in 2007.

The Flyers are interested in Blues blue-liner Kevin Shattenkirk, but it would take a lot more than Briere to pry him. Shattenkirk, 24, is second in team scoring with 15 points in 18 games.

I understand if he wont move because of his kids but dammit please waive the NMC

 

[awaz]

bastards are reading my posts!

in a totally classless move, the flyers could say they're going to buy him out regardless of if he wants to waive his NMC or not. i wonder if the NHLPA thought of that one.

that would be a last resort move. it is totally classless move on danny's part to not allow an organization to improve by moving him.

I'm sure Briere is just thinking of his three boys which is understandable. I'm sure he wouldn't want to leave, but I wouldn't say he'd NEVER waive his NMC. Like the one article said, Gagne didn't want to leave either. I'm sure they could make it work, especially if he was going to a Cup contender. Briere is a class act so I guess we will see what happens.

ya i hear you.. just thinkin of his kids, i wouldn't blame him if he didn't want to move.. i dont have kids, but if i did, i'd definitely be a dick to my employer rather than do something my kids dont want

Sooo...let's speculate. Let's say Briere would waive his NMC, what else would it take from Philly to get Shattenkirk?
