  1. Kings scored huge on the Richards trade. Simmonds is nothing special and schenn appears to be easily injured. Though Richards is out and might have a concussion. Guess it is kind of a wash/flyers win since at least the flyers have one of those players playing.
  2. The flyers certainly overpaid. And the goaltending wasn't the only problem last year. But they were never going to a win a cup with those goalies. Never.
  3. Hard to argue that there is a system in place in PHX that helps goalies look better than they are. Smith would come here and be Tampa Smith, not PHX smith.
  4. LOL @ Eskimo. Someone on PTPITN got mad at someone else for using Eskimo. Can't remember who though. The jist of it was that they were claiming it was derogatory.
  5. No chance they get carle for less. Someone will overpay for him, which is the main reason I am fine with them letting him go. Personally I think he already is overpaid.
  6. It is pretty common knowledge that versteeg was injured his entire time here. Too bad he didn't get a fair shake.
  7. Hopefully they don't resign carle. But if you are going to trade him, trade him for another defenseman. The offense is no the problem. The two best defensemen on this team are old and breaking. They need to be replaced asap.
  8. Why are we dumping defensemen for an underacheiving forward? In case people haven't noticed the flyers defense is a. not very good and b. riddled with injury. Dumping a top 4 guy for another forward means ANOTHER phantom playing in a position he isn't made for.
  9. They are already a very strong team. That move would pretty much secure the division for them assuming he gets on track and they stay relatively healthy as a team.
  10. Gonna put this here: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=40096#.TtT9-ZLIWJw.twitter Meltzer basically reiterating what I have been saying about Mesz, coburn, and carle.
  11. I am not sure why people are dogging these guys. They made this video for 80's night. I think it is hilarious. Good for them.
  12. That is the context we are talking about. I mentioned that in my first post about buying him out. Clearly they won't buy him out otherwise.
  13. Pronger was breaking and showing this was an awful contract before he became captain. I mean who didn't think that his ****ed up knee would relapse at some point? No Desjardins issues. He just wasn't captain material.
  14. He is only going to get worse. If you are given a free out of a nightmare contract, you have to take it.
  15. Homer said they hoped the knee would calm down while he was out with AIDS or whatever he has. It hasn't and surgery is the only option. Imagine how bad this contract is going to be in a couple years. ******* contract just started this year. Flyers better really do some thinking if they are allowed free buyouts with the new CBA. Pronger has to be a prime candidate for that.
  16. Yeah, you have to imagine that if Washington didn't turn their season around when they did last year, that he would have been fired already.
  17. Per homer on twitter. How many of us saw this coming a mile away? This is easily homers worst contract. And it is going to **** them for many years to come.
  18. I mentioned during game chat that the coyotes have a system that worked for bryz and that defense. I said that in response to you saying laviolette's system is partly to blame. We agreed in other words. Comparing players on paper is not going to work in this case. Many people have said how awful mesz has looked so far this year. And carle is ALWAYS lost when Pronger is out. Timonen has looked bad more often then not as well this year. The defense is a paper tiger.
  19. I expected him to not be what he was in phx. That is what we are seeing. I believe it is because of a combo of an overrated blueline and him not being as good as advertised.
  20. Why can't it be both? I have stated many times that the defense is pretty weak. But he lets in softies a lot and is terrible at handling the puck.
  21. He is shaping up to be exactly what I expected, unfortunately for the flyers...
  22. All i care about is avoiding another work stoppage. Not so sure I will get my wish though.
  23. Yep. Division is theirs to lose.
