Preds need offence and some replacement on D. I could see B Schenn, Laughton, Ghost , two first rounders and some cash getting it done. Pretty steep. Can't think Poile would accept much less.

You'd never pry Bogosian away from the Jets for Coburn and Read. The kid is starting to show why he was drafted so high. Chevy would ask for Couturier and then some. They need a big 2nd line center pretty badly.

That's Byfuglien you're thinking of.

You guys would love Bogosian. Hard hitting tough Dman who can provide offense with a wicked shot. He's a RFA, so maybe the Jets can't sign him. Coots for Bogo is pretty even IMO.

Bogosian? Yes. Hickey, Hedman and Murray from last year? Who knows? Give them time. All young. Bogosian is definately worth moving up for. I watch most Jet games here in Winnipeg and this guy is going to be great. He's an RFA this year. No way the Jets let him walk.

Pulock. We need a future PP QB and offensive Dman, not another Grossman which is what I think Zadorov and Risto will become. Pulock reminds me of Letang.

I'm rooting for whoever the Pens play in any round...in any year, or decade for that matter.

@merrex That's a lot to give up to move up a couple of spots. I'd rather just win the lottery or have Nurse, Couturier and Coburn thanks. I can show you highlight videos that make Coburn look good. @Flyercanuck It would a lot to give up, but I think Jones would be worth it. Any of Coburn's highlight videos you find are collecting dust. He hasn't been the same since getting that puck in the face. If I'm Homer I'd rather keep Coburn and ship Mez, but Jones isn't going to come cheap.

I'd rather package our first rounder, Coots and either Coburn, Mez or Ghost for the first pick for Jones. Watched highlight vids on youtube of this kid. He'll be the real deal.

@brelic "If you were the other team, would you pass up on Jones/MacKinnon for Read, Ghost and the 8th pick? I wouldn't." No I wouldn't either, but insert Couturier for Read. That just may get it done. The question is: would it worth for us?

Maybe Homer will try to trade up for the first overall to draft Jones. Read, Ghost and our first rounder( maybe 8th overall) would be pretty close to the asking price. Couturier will be asked for as well.

@Polaris922 Neal's hit to Couturier was ONLY a penalty because he's not Kronwall? Watch the entire game without your black and yellow glasses on. Neal and Couturier were hammering each other all game with Couturier getting the best of him. Actually, Couturier laid a borderline headshot to Neal which was not called previous to this incident. Couturier passed the puck and was looking in the other direction when Neal took a run at him with multiple strides seconds after the puck left Couturier's stick. he jumped to have the primary point of contact be Couturier's head. I know my Flyer's can be a dirty bunch at times, but c'mon, THAT was intent to injure.

@Polaris922 Every team in the league would love to have Hartnell. The Pens included. The fact that you and those ridiculous second grade homer announcers of yours, Errey and Staggy (lol) constantly whine about him speaks volumes. I think Malkin and Neal are reckless, dirty , elbow throwing douchebags, but if one of them was a Flyer next year, I probably change my tune pretty quick.

No Doubt Jammer. The Jets crowd is pretty wild. Wouldn't be too much fun in my #88 jersey.

I have a feeling Briere will get bought out. He'd have to really light it up during the playoffs to stay and this team is far from a lock to make the postseason. If the rumors are true about Perry not wanting to sign long term with Anaheim, they'd be smart to deal him at the deadline. As for Ryan, I wouldn't package Schenn or Couturier for him. Possibly Voracek, Laughton and a pick which probably wouldn't get it done anyway. If anything I would try to pry Yandle from Phoenix for Voracek , a pick and one of our young D-men.

@ Howie, It's too bad, but I think you're right about Lavy. His run and gun system is exciting, but defense wins cups. My guess is if they go somewhere around 2-4 on this road trip, he might be gone.

I had an opportunity to grab two tix right behind the net at the end where the Flyers were shooting at twice about 20 rows up for $450. Add in parking, beer etc and it's a $600 night. Right about now I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger.

Sloppy play in both ends, horrible giveaways, losing all the board battles and races to the puck. If there was a bright side, they've had their chances - just can't finish.

Besides G not noticeably taking the body, he's a still pretty effective checker. He dove and stopped Ovechkin's slam dunk empty netter which had about 25 seconds left on the clock. If we would have tied the game, everyone would have been talking about his hustle. He also made a few good plays in front of his own net I think last game against Wash. He broke up a pass for a sure goal. I'm happy he's at least being effective defensively while he's slumping up front. Also, we can't discount Jagr's departure as a cause for G's dropoff. Take away his two linemates, and this is what we have...so far. I just hope he still isn't hurting, but it would make sense.

He'll always be my favorite Flyer. I watched him at the world juniors and was in awe, so I became a Flyer fan in his rookie season. I've saw tons of Lindros vids, but this one has a lot of Stevens whereLindros seemed to handle him most of the time. I now think Steven's knockout hit was pre-meditated. I'll always hate that prick.

Sorry to beat a dead horse everyone, but I'm a little confused as to what the Weber situation is. I read back in the summer that Weber and the Preds have not finalized their deal due to Poile not wanting to give him his requested no movement clause. My opinion on this is probably the same as most of you that Weber doesn't want to be there, and that Nash wants to trade him. Nash doesn't want to limit their trade partners in giving him his no trade, and Weber wants to choose where he gets dealt. So, apparently if they don't agree by December 1st, then Weber has to sit out the entire season and therefore becomes unrestricted July 1, 2013. So then ,if the lockout wipes out the entire season and Weber/Preds haven't finalized their deal, he automatically is unrestricted July 1st as well. I read all this the one time and can't find any updated info on it. I still feel that Weber will be a Flyer. I don't think Homer will let it go.

@Mad Dog "The only thing where I would caution you - and others - is that we have absolutely no certainty that any of those players will actually become UFAs, and even if they do, they actually choose the Flyers" Which is why Homer should be trying to aquire Weber this off season. An offer sheet of 9 million for 9 or 10 years wont get it done. Nashville will surely match that offer with Suter leaving. The 4 -1st rounders given up would be the best case scenario for us given all of those picks should be #20 and higher. Homer needs to trade for him. It would take at least Voracek, Read, Mezaros and two firsts to get him. We'd have a full year to sign him long term. They'll be way too much competition to let him become a UFA next year. I truly believe he wants to leave Nash, if he didn't, he would have signed long term last year. The only way the offer sheet would work would be if it was something obscene such as 10 mil per year for 13years. Even then I wouldn't trust Nashville not to match.

Articles of how clutch Carter is? Now that's funny. He was the most un-clutch for us for 6 years. Game six 2010 finals with under two to play? I'd love to see Richards (and Gagne) get a cup, but not Carter. The guy frustrated me for 6 years with his inability to raise his game in the playoffs, lack of physical play with his size, and his shoot first from anywhere high and wide mentality.

I didn't think we were going to win tonight, but I hoped for a good effort to give something to build on for game 6. We poured it on in the 3rd and if not for Fleury, we had it. I actually feel a lot better about our chances today compared to yesterday. The team and especially Bryz settled down and played much better. Also noticed the forecheck being switched to a 1-2-2 to insulate at times. We WILL win game 6. Lets go Flyers!!!

Anyone else think he's just not quite right after that collision with Malkin? After all the deliberate head shots from them, Crosby being concussed by his own player would be perfect karma. Malkin will get his one day. He's cheap shotted way too many players in his short career.
