http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/source-dan-cleary-decide-flyers-soon I'd rather see some of the younger guys get a chance than another old vet. Consensus?
I wouldn't call it a "comeback". It pretty much is a sure thing that he will play in the KHL. Playing over there in Russia during the lockout apparently sealed his decision.
Was our best forward last year but the talent and experience of Lecavalier will prove me right. Having a player of Lecavalier's pedigree can and will only improve the flyers.
Lecavalier is better than all the other flyers forwards with the exception of Giroux. What's not to like about his signing?? IMO B Schenn will never become the player he was touted to be. Think the same of him as JVR. Saw JVR in Norfolk once and he was terrible and except for a few games in a Flyers jersey did very little; hardly ever used his size. Keep the faith, the flyers can only go up this year!
I don't agree with you about Coots, he can only go UP after last year. However, if we're going to dangle him for tradebait, I'd be looking to Nashville myself for a D-man.
I'd have rather Holmgren kept his word and drafted the best player available instead of drafting by needs (defensemen). I don't see any of the top three players the Flyers drafted this year making it to the dance for another 3-4 years.
