No never....Hartnell and maybe Gus or something like that....not Harts and Couts/Schenn....way too much. I would wait until offseason and re-visit the Weber deal....I think the Preds would take Couts plus a few more pieces
Dude...You are DEAD wrong......I may be new around these parts, but been a Flyers fan since '70..... Nashville"s GM asked for either Couts or Schenn,plus some goodies we could afford to throw in....and it would be a done deal.....Paulie nixed it... Weber signed the monster offer sheet!!!!.......Duh.....he was pissed at going back to Nash.....
I will be more pissed if we trade Couts for a Dman....after all...we would have Weber if Homer said yes....so I would rather keep him...Looking back.....we could have traded Schenn in the Weber deal....and kept JVR.......WOW.....if only we knew
Part of the Flyers problem is expecting too much from the youngsters.....we should keep Danny n Timo for the vetern experience they bring....both shine in the playoffs....and no one is giving up first-rounders for them....and I doubt teams will give up major young talent.....all I hear is "We miss Prongs,we miss Jagr"....we cant gut the team of 2 more vets....Keep both of them!!
Give the kid a chance to develop.....Lavy really has not given Schenn consistent linemates since we aquired him....kid has played center and both wings.....we need to give him steady linemates and a regular position and watch him grow into the good player that was predicted.....I think its great that the Schenn bros are ther top Flyers in "hits".....havent we recently complained that we had gotten too soft? Lets be patient and let all of these talented kids grow together!
Kimmo should learn from his goal last night......shoot the damn puck!!! All he does is keep trying to make the perfect pass....or set up G from the left circle...I know G has ripped a few from there, but c'min Kimmo....SHOOT the damn puck....especially from the center spot where he keeps receiving a great one timer pass from the corners......drives me nuts!!!!! SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok....you mrntioned 3 leaders, not me.....Max is def one as well.......Coburn too! Knuble on the PP is an attribute....Look, for the low cost of MK, I believe it was a decent pickup....anyone else(Arnott,etc) would have cost a heck of a lot more....it he really is washed up we can waive him as quick as we signed him. Being a little over analytical VF of my thread....ya think?
If Homer refused to part with Couts/Schenn in the Weber deal......sure as heck would not want them to go in a Suppan deal.......a package of lesser players would work for me.
I'm so glad I found this forum......some of the others waste too much time saying nasty stuff that they would never say in person.....it should be hockey talk....not that other junk.......thanks
Thanks 101......Been a Flyer fan since day one.....season ticket holder from'70-'80....been in Vegas over 20 years....can't live without my Orange n Black! Love the young guns...they will bring us a Cup soon....been too many years without it. Hope you are right...I could wait till Nov...not long after Christmas.
Totally Agree....go with the 3 A's for the year....Briere, Timmo, Harts,etc are leaders, plus some of the kids will step up, I might let Simmonds wear the A once in a while......Prongs prob will hang them up......then give the "C" to Giroux next year.
