  1. Doom- I expect better from you. While I think Jagr should be re-signed (I am the minority), Voracek will become the heir (though I am not sold on that combination). For me personally, I go after Shane Doan for a 3 year 12m contract to ride out his career. He plays all game situations, tough as nails, 35 y/o, and plays 19+ minutes a night. He was born to be a Flyer and it would be nice to see him come home to nest.

    Secondly, Schenn already split his time between center and wing (left).

    Here is how I see it (sans a FA RW signing):

    Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek

    Schenn-Couturier-Briere

    Wellwood-Talbot-Simmonds

    Zolniercyk-Read-xxxx?

    I am just not sure that Voracek is the right skill set to go with Giroux. Doan however is and we shuffle the deck chairs again.

    I'm not feeling those lines

    Hartnell-G-(Jagr or free agent signing)

    Simmonds-Briere-Voracek

    Read-Couturier-Schenn

    Wellwood-Talbot-Sestito

    If they don't sign anyone, I think they'd move Schenn up to line 1, Sestito to line 3 and Rinaldo to line 4, IMO. I don't see Lavy pulling Briere out of the C spot yet and also think Couts and Read are excellent together.

  2. What I meant was Schenn AND Toronto's first for Bob, Read and JVR.....that would have been a pretty sweet deal for us...I do love Read's game, but you have to admit, a lot of return.

    Not enough IMO. Read gives you 47 points for 900,000k and can really get better from there.

    I would have done Schenn and TOR pick for Bob, JVR and our first

  3. I am 100% for this trade. I think it's a win-win for both teams.

    Schenn recieved an 8.5 with a B probability.

    JVR recieved an 8 with a B probability.

    So while JVR may be perceived as having higher upside, the HF scouting people felt differently.

    Schenn gives us a young, physical defender with plenty of room to grow.

    Isn't afraid to fight to stick up for teammates

    I'm also really worried about JVR's injury history. He had a concussion, abdominal tear, fractured foot, etc.

    Yeah, but in fairness to my fellow Flyer fans, Carle is a bit of a pusssy.

    And an American as well. I don't really blame Flyer fans for wanting a 6'4" behemoth from Humboldt or wherever. They clear a lot of space and inflict a lot of pain. What's not to like?

    That's too small. I want SHAQ ON SKATES!!

    I like the "get" side of your proposal, but Schenn in the "give" basket kills it for me. I like Hartnell, but substitute him for Schenn in that scenario and I'd seriously think about it. That would also help even out the cap numbers exchanged....

    But if there's any truth to part one of @jkearse123 's post, he won't come here.....sheesh Nash, Suter, Hamhuis, what do we smell or something. One of the shirts the handed out during the Pens series said "Guess what, we don't like you either" (after Crosby made a few choice comments). I'm gonna keep that shirt handy!

    Believe me, Jkearse123 hopes so. I hate the concept of acquiring Nash.

  6. Twitter rumors this morning

    Hockey Insiderr

    #CBJ and the #Flyers had a #DEAL on the table, AGREED which would have sent #NASH to Philly. BUT everything is OFF the table. Guess WHY?

    10:21 AM 17 JUN 12

    #NASH decided to #VETO the trade at the last moment (as of last night). He REFUSES to be traded to the #FLYERS. Not now, not EVER.

    I can confirm 100% #CONFIRMED that Nash will NOT waive his NMC to join the #Flyers. Philly has MAX 72 hrs to convince Nash or#NODEAL. #CBJ

    But I tend to trust DLeed a lot more than Hockey Insiderr

    Dustin Leed@D_LEED

    Hate this word, but from separate “sources”… they’ve told me Rick Nash will end up a New York Ranger 9:56 AM 17 JUN 12
