Why are the Phlyers still buyers?

[RaiderZar]

Seems like desperation, at this point. :rollseyes:

 

[awaz]

who is saying they are?

Rumor is they are after Clowe. What are you hearing?

 

[GagneFire12]

They are always pursuing everyone, ever.

 

[Darkstone42]

I'll just drop this here...

Now if you'll excuse me...

Why in the world would they go after Clowe? I could see them going after Yandle...but they really should just wait until the offseason. They have to move money anyway.

I would tend to agree with that. Clowe's been pretty bad this year, and it won't rejuvenate him to bring him to a team with a 2% chance of making the playoffs. Yandle, on the other hand, fills a need for them and is a very good player. If they're going to deal for someone, it should be someone like Yandle.

...Unless, of course, Shero gets him first...

Oh God not Clowe

 

[thedddd]

Not sure why any team would want Clowe right now?

only stuff i've been hearing about the flyers is possibly moving briere (pre-concussion) and maybe talbot... outside of that it's been pretty quiet in flyer land (aside from pipe-dream thefts of young elite dmen)

i'm sure fedetenko and gagne are available though

Both of whom could be nice adds to a cup run team

you can have both for a 1st! we'll even throw in kurtis foster!

deal of the century.

Would it be beneficial for the Flyers to gamble on trading for another lottery pick? It would double the chances of getting Seth Jones and allow them to add depth up front.

depends on who it would take to get that.. i'd be all for trying to get another lottery pick if they could

schenn, schenn, couturier, giroux, voracek, and simmonds are all worth more (or way more) than just a 1st round pick though.. after that...

really i'm looking for a 'talbot to ______ for a 1st round pick'.. if gaustad and quincey can......

Welllll...maybe in other draft years, this year? I mean, Boston seems pretty desperate to make a move...go there.

I could see Kimmo fetching a pretty penny. Just sayin'..

Yeahhhh, he's not one they should be moving. Isn't he hurt?

EDIT: nope. Mezaros.

The reason that I mentioned him is because he can bring a return of two roster players or picks, albeit depth.
