Yes , remember when they bought out Leclair and another big contract and then they signed that slug on skates Vinny LeCavalier to a five year five million dollar deal. They were and still are morons, maybe just to a lesser extent.

Yes , but high first round draft picks are given the rookie minimum of 950,000. We gave Fedetov who was a late round pick over three times that amount. That is very unprofessional.

Not yet.

Don't forget we are also paying 4 million to Johansen too. Is Bernie Madoff managing our salary cap?

Frost is developing into a good 2 way center, he will never be a #1, but he's almost a #2. We actually need another center in addition to Frost, trading Frost and something else for Zegras still leaves us with only one skilled center. Konecny is still the best bargaining chip to get a center, but I think we need a big power center , who is good on faceoffs and who has offensive skill to complement Frost. We need a younger version of Coots with better skating ability.

He was one notch above Claude Boivin,.Steve Smith and Darren Rumble. Clarke could really pick em.

They take head injuries much more seriously than in the past. In today's NHL Lindros would be unstoppable. Think about the headhunters/ low hitters he had to face, Pilon, Kasperitus,Jovo, Stevens, Samuelsson, Marchment,etc. There's very few guys like that today. As for Patrick, I didn't like that pick from day one. Then again, I may be wrong, there's a guy I see daily who's walking around brain dead and falling off bikes,down the stairs and shaking hands with imaginary people.

Remember Alexandre Daigle he could skate, he just couldn't do anything else. I'm not worried about the coaching, I'm worried about him physically holding up in order to be coached.

Yes he was on the trainers table and the operating room table,multiple times.

I heard he's about as good defensively as Drysdale.

Plenty of professional GMs make mistakes. I don't know what Colorado offered any more than you know what offers Briere turned down. I know we asked for Byrum,but they wanted a center and traded him to Buffalo for Mittlestadt. I don't know what the counter offer was. What are your thoughts on"The Professional " Briere signing an unproven goalie for 3 million? It doesn't seem to professional to me. I'm not saying I dislike Briere at all, let's just wait and see before he annoint him as a our savior. He is better than Shmuck but so are alot of people. I'm anxiously sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring.

I wish we had some dmen elbowimg people in the face instead of a revolving door -6 softie like Drysdale. I like York ,I don't think he's a #1 but he's probably on his way to being a legit #2 guy, not flashy but steady,kind of like Desjardins. So what Dobson got abused, he scored 70 points and was a plus 12 on a mediocre Isles team. He is alot closer to a true #1 dman than anyone we have.

And what do you think your argument is based on? It's based on the assumption that Briere got the best deal he could. Were you part of the conference call as a special advisor during the trade?You are also assuming Briere isn't gonna make the same mistakes as our previous GMs. He just signed Fedetov for three million a year for two years, that sounds very much like the Clarke/Homer/Fletcher school of thought. I can use the same tactics as you, arguing for the sake if arguing. If Briere took into account Drysdales injuries then he wouldn't have made the trade. We are in no position to take any gambles and we are gonna lose this one.

Look at our first pair and compare it to Trouba and Fox. It's not bad but it surely isn't good enough. Due to years of mediocrity, we as Flyer fans are suffering from a condition known as the law of diminishing expectations.

You asked based on what? Based on common sense, that's what. Do you think that only one team was interested in a top end player like Gauthier? You said Its logical that Briere took the best offer, since when have the Flyers done anything logical. I didn't say better offers ,I said other offers and what's a better offer in my mind might not be a better offer to Briere. It's common sense that there were multiple offers for a guy like Gauthier. I know for a fact Colorado was one team. Even if Drysdale had alot of upside,its obvious that Briere didnt factor in his chronic injury history. I would rather have a guy with a little less upside who can actually stay in the lineup. Since we will never know what the other offers were , there is no way to know, what Briere turned down. To sum it up, after being burned with Ellis and Patrick I would not have traded for a guy like Drysdale.
