flyercanuck Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Why was Bobby Ryan 'born to be a Flyer" . Cause he makes $5.1 million a year and is on pace for 40 points? The team is one of the top in the league in scoring, but our defence is getting old and broken down. Lets trade some of our young D for more scoring. Ya, that makes sense.

Flyguys03 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It is very likely we are not planning to resign Carle (might as well get something for him before the rest of the league figures it out), and power forwards are a dying breed. One is on sale now, time to stock up.Carle is a young good defenseman with a moderate cap hit, and a contract about to expire (which is good for a rebuilding team). I think he's an attractive option for Anaheim.Hopefully they don't resign carle. But if you are going to trade him, trade him for another defenseman. The offense is no the problem. The two best defensemen on this team are old and breaking. They need to be replaced asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather resign Carle personally (ideally for a little less than his current salary if possible), but I know that isn't a popular opinion here. I can't imagine a scenario where someone would trade a defenseman of similar quality for Carle - it makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will overpay for him, which is the main reason I am fine with them letting him go. Personally I think he already is overpaid.

Leach27 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 send bryz back to anahiem?? then it all comes full circle. The only reason I would do that would be, get rid of byrz, trade Ryan for a D man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
