    Yep. This gives them a little more Cap room.
    Gotta figure another forward is still coming via FA.
    This also may signal the end of Matt Carle in Philly.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I like the deal. Clears a little cap and gives us a young d-man with upside.
    Go Birds!!!!

    Very good deal for both teams. I think JVR has gotten a bad rap in Philly and is going to be a very good player, but that is a position of strength/depth for the Flyers. They needed D, where they are thin. Schenn is good. Peaked his rookie year and tailed off, but new scenery and a better team should straighten him out.

    Since I live in Toronto and to see many games, i have to say that I am not too happy with this trade. I think Sheen can be a good d-man but he makes many mistakes. I see him being a 4-5 dman on the team. We need to make sure that he plays with another d-man that is older and I don't know if we have that right now.

    Of course playing for a really crap team can make you look bad but i have a bad feeling about this trade.

    Hopefully the change in scenery resurrects his game.

    I really thought JVR coming back spoiled the team's chemistry in the playoffs - they pretty much sucked after his return.

    i guess i should have made my self more clear. those older d-man are already paired up so i sense that Sheen is going to play on the 3 line which i think is going to harm him.

    Carle will be re-signed.

    I think the Flyers wait until next year to make a run at Weber.

    thats my hope. Kimmo will be gone and they will have some cap money to get him.

    I like the jvr trade. he was a decent player, but he couldn't stay healthy. from what I know about schenn, he sounds like he will fit right in. my biggest concern is that once timonen retires, who runs the point on the PP??

    grossman, schenn, coburn, carle??, mezaros...no PP QB there. Not sure where that's coming from

    Obviously love the Bob trade. He sucked.

    I don't think Parise is probable, but that would be a great sign. Come on homer

    I hope Holmgren has a backup plan if Parise decides to play somewhere else.

    I dont see Suter signing here.

    i don't think zach comes to philly....

    i think we are more likely to see carle resigned and a few cheap forwards added.

    I think Ryan or Nash will somehow be a flyer if Parise says no. I might be in the minority but i'd trade Couts and picks or a player for Ryan all day.

    Thats what it'll end up being. It seems like Parise is going to either NJ, Pitt, or Minn.
    Suter to Detroit seems like the hot rumor too.
    A lot of trades seem to be on hold until it shakes out, then we will probably see some major moves.

    Im sure the Flyers will be in on Ryan and Nash. Possibly land one of them. I think they should have given the keys to Suter though.

    whoever misses out on parise will be drooling for nash and ryan...the chips will begin to fall after he signs

    these blue jackets are still out of their mind...they are asking waaay too much

    and yes...the flyers should do whatever it takes to get suter,unless he doesn't want to play there
    i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
