  1. Downie took a solid shot there. Give Volpatti credit for not beating him senseless once Downie said he was in trouble. That was very strange. Downie took the punch then instantly dropped his guard. Said something then Volpatti let him go. I wonder what he said?

    He said nice shot! Hey could of gone the other way and Flyer fans would of give a thumps up! Doesn't remember same thing happen to Derek Morris a few yrs ago? David Ling a smaller caught him good

  2. Trades - I know the Downie  trade but no more till at least Christmas. GM has to go and trades want younger faster skaters. High on list to go Hartnell,Timmo,Coburn and while at everyone except Mason not his fault

  3. Not to be harsh but the Flyers will have a first overall pick when Hell freezes over. Ed Snider will NEVER allow this team to be bad enough to earn a #1 pick. That being said, I believe the true way to really build a highly successful franchise is through the draft and no leaning so heavily on free agents as the Flyers do. There are several franchises that have done this and are seeing the rewards starting to come to fruition. I think this approach applies in all major sports because of the salary caps that are now in place... with the exception of baseball. Even baseball you see teams like the Nationals and Pirates who build their core through the draft and minor league system. The bottom line is, as long as Ed Snider owns this team, we will never have that #1 pick. The year of Kane and JVR was the only shot and that was a fluke.

    sad but true

  4. Well on defensive you usually takes longer and as Chase says by 26 you know what you got with a d/man? Up front you need another scorer. If you say trade G who would be the slick center? I think we need to be like Phoenix that's how a team plays that might not have the talent but wins!

  5. Ah what's the fun of that?

     

    Seriously this board is - by charter - forbidden to go 3 consecutive weeks without a Weber thread. Thankfully AS threw one in here today so I believe we just made it under the wire lol..

     

    but seriously seriously I'd trade Giroux for Weber any day and twice on Sunday. Who wouldn't? Which, of course is why it will never happen - among other (contractual) reasons...

    Your right I get rid just cause of the contract but not for Weber's contract though
