Mario99 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Let me say that I would want Alexander Burmistrov in any deal with Jets, if he can get out of KHL Onto the rumors. I continue to hear more and more regarding Philadelphia and Winnipeg talking. Names like Byfuglien, Coburn, Voracek, and Little keep coming up....among some prospects...One source swears that if these two teams make a deal "It won't be a small deal" and history in Philly could bare that out. When things go far south the Flyers are prone to multi-player deals...More when I get back Stateside.Ek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Eklund's reputation is mud around here. I'd take Kane though. Do not want fatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 let's just throw the dumbest trade ideas out there possible, shall we? I know I'm in the extreme minority here, but I don't see any trade happening before the Rangers game. There will be a minor one sometime around Thanksgiving. This week, they're giving Berube the opportunity to run a week-long mini camp and think that will simply right the ship. They are seriously THAT delusional. There's no one coming on a white horse, and it's too early to sell and give up on the season (in their mind, plus the return wouldn't be as good now). So let's dispense with the idiot Eklund trade rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Do people actually think a trade is coming, or does it make nice forum fodder? I hope the latter, because the Flyers are seriously out leveraged right now. No way they win a trade at this juncture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario99 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ruxpin, this is the best time to deal, they have 6 days to work new guys in, this team needs a jolt, practicing for 6 days with these stiffs won't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaFlyerFan Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I know I'm in the extreme minority here, but I don't see any trade happening before the Rangers game. There will be a minor one sometime around Thanksgiving. I don't see anything happening, either. But who knows. Homer has surprised us before with a dumb move. Maybe he'll do it again. This week, they're giving Berube the opportunity to run a week-long mini camp and think that will simply right the ship. They are seriously THAT delusional. Berube's idea of running a mini camp is to give the team the weekend off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quigster Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'd like to see something from the Oil that included Darnell Nurse. I don't see them play enough to know who good chioce for the Flyers. When I do see them it looks like a group of teenagers,really talented,but very young. Raffl like playing style.

ruxpin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ruxpin, this is the best time to deal, they have 6 days to work new guys in, this team needs a jolt, practicing for 6 days with these stiffs won't help I don't disagree that practicing for 6 days with these stiffs won't help. I would have thought my post would have indicated that. But I completely disagree that this is the best time to deal. It's actually the WORST time, which is why you don't see much trading this time of year and why we haven't seen one. They have to wait until later in the year when teams--including the Flyers---have some LTIR space to work with for cap reasons. Additionally, and maybe more importantly, they (particularly the Flyers) get less return for their assets now than if they wait until later. There is no trade or handful of trades that is going to help this team for this year. Whatever trade you're making, you're doing it with next year and further in mind. So there is absolutely no good reason to do it now. They still may, because they're idiots who are delusional enough to think this year and this team is salvageable, but it is entirely the wrong way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Mario, What was your point? That in the long history of hockey there HAVE been occasional trades at this time of year? No kidding. But not one single trade on that list from this time of year in the Cap era. I still maintain my previous statement. It would be a lot easier to wade through your 47,000 one-line threads and posts if you would make an attempt to HAVE a point and clearly state it.

murraycraven Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 That is why I like to post odd things in response like "I like ice cream." it seems that a simple thought goes from the brain to the fingers and then the hf board. All the while there is never anything more.... "I think Claude Giroux likes #28..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario99 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Like you guys know hockey, probably never played and wished you did, everyone posts quick one line threads who wants to read your long drawn out dribble on hockey and who has the time to read 500 word stories about nothing important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 @Mario99 No, seriously. You spam the board with drivel threads. It absolutely needs to stop. Just because you're standing on top of the back of the toilet and have a brain spasm doesn't mean it has to be a new thread. Either write something insightful with a point and an actual thought, or simply add to an already existing thread on that topic. It's getting old and will no longer be tolerated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
