RonJeremy Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Of the three rumored teams that want Giroux, which has the better prospects that we might be able to get and more importantly, the most incompetent GM, so we can maximize the return. I would hope we can get an NHL ready right handed dman who can replace Risto and a center or else a left wing to replace JVR and maybe a first round pick. If Minnesota offered Boldy or Colorado offered Newhook straight up for Giroux and nothing else I would do that. Not sure what prospects St Louis has, but I guess whichever team has the deepest pool of prospects might not have a problem trading a few.

OccamsRazor Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The Flyers front office needs to administer some help for the other team's scouts... ...so when they see Risto play I want one of them to stand up and exclaim.... "Did you see the size of that chicken!!" And a deal will be consummated... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 In addition to the horror of watching the game, I was stuck with the Blues Broadcast and every member of them said they can’t see the Blues getting in the mix because Giroux does not address any pressing areas they need to shore up before the real season begins. it will be interesting to see if places G wants to go arent interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 @Samifan Carolina....that's the place for Claude. They need scoring now and in the playoffs, they have many good forward prospects that are almost NHL ready. It could really help the Canes in the short term and help the Flyers in the medium short term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Brind’Amour was in his ear during all star weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bittersweet. That was the first celebration I really ever watched till the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxrattle Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The Wild has enough problems as it is in not hating losing. We really don't need Ristolainen nor Giroux to add to the problems. What we need is players with even a fraction of the attitude of Bobby Clarke in the Summit series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icechipper Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Giroux would be expensive. Hearing a 1st round, a top prospect potentially a player. Plus his salary. I've heard 1st rounder or equivalent for Giordano. The Isles think they can get a 2nd for Parise, or Chara. Minnesota might add depth player but there are better options in Iowa than rentals.

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 From what I've been reading, Colorado is now out of the Giroux sweepstakes. I've also read that Boston has now expressed interest and Florida is definitely in the hunt. As for St.Louis, the word is that they're not too keen n on adding Giroux, but they're looking for defensive help (Braun?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter right now we have 17 more days to wait and i wouldn't be blown away if they kept him. I think ol Chuckles knows no matter what you do, if you trade away the Captain and get fleeced again his head is going to roll must less get promoted. If you move the Captain and get a nice return they may keep him until Danny is ready or Chuckles burns Homer's popcorn or something whatever they can dream up. Besides chatting with the folks here or killing time stuck somewhere and my phone in my hand (a lot at work - it's true, it is how you know i had a good day - a chance to conversate) i don't pay much attention to them or the actual team i'll just read someone else's misery lately and that will suffice for now...all i look forward to is the draft and the offseason praying for change. Been watching a lot of Canes hockey....that is depressing too watching the speed and skill Flyers use to possess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I think Schmuck is done regardless. I fully expect that he'll be squeezed out of the GM role by the summer and that they'll promote Briere. They'll keep Schmuck as team president, but Briere will have autonomy when it comes to hockey matters such as trades, free agency, the draft, etc..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say speed I don't mean just foot speed I mean speed moving the puck. I remember back in the day the year Jake scored his first 80 point season they moved the puck very well but their blueline wasn't as skilled as the current Canes back end. But they still transition well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to do so for Briere is a stupid as the moves Fletcher has made This franchise does not need a rookie making vital decisions at a pivotal moment. They need a proven GM who knows how to fix this unwatchable train wreck That said, I dont think they fire Fletcher. They might move him up and bring in a new GM. I just hope it isn't Briere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, Briere would be in the same boat as Sakic was when he took over the Avalanche or when Yzerman took over the Lightning. If anything, Briere being a new GM means he's leaning on his resources even more and that can only be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing i can do is spend less time watching them and just glance at a box score and go see what the wife wants to watch....she loves this time of year when i got nothing else to watch.

OccamsRazor Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well the good news is regardless of where the Flyers finished they can still find a stud in the draft even if they don't get to the top 3... ...this guy was a 9th pick and well you just have to do your homework and have some luck. Flyers need a guy who can find the back of the net for starters i think they have enough passers. But yeah i have no faith they can find one...
