    you forgot Briere and Giroux at the wings

    I think Briere plays center after his play off run.

    they'll both be in the middle

    richards, briere, giroux, betts will be the 4 centers

    carter, hartnell, leino, jvr, shelly, powe, carcillo...they need another winger badly (assuming gagne gets moved)

    This is clearly a cap move for the flyers wouldnt be surprised if they only get Picks back for Gagne

    Then they sign MARTY TURCO as their Number 1 Goalie at about 3-4mil a year

    I don't want Turco,Thomas or Nabby...if I'm getting a goalie I want a young guy that can be here for awhile and grow

    I hope Im wrong about Turco but that's what is out there and I heard he wants to come here now

    I completely agree. though gagne to the kings rumor is still out there

    Now this is turning into a Soap Opera with Gagne...keep hearing different things by the day

    From Tim Panaccio's Twitter :

    Rumors that the Philadelphia Flyers are trying to clear salary cap room not for a goalie, but for Bobby Ryan.

    :wtf:
    Bobby ryan would be awesome. Talk about a local kid he'd be awesome on a line with giroux.

    that would be unreal. gotta think it would take a lot more than gagne to get ryan though right?

    Simmonds would be awesome if they can swing that

    The Flyers' attempts to clear space under the salary cap by trading veteran left wing Simon Gagne appear to be indirectly related to the New Jersey Devils' attempt to re-sign Ilya Kovalchuk.

    The Devils reportedly are close to signing Kovalchuk to a seven-year, $60 million extension. Once that deal is finalized, other NHL teams in the running for Kovalchuk -- namely, the Los Angeles Kings and New York Islanders -- will need to look in another direction to add offense.

    The Kings currently have $17 million in cap space and are believed to be interested in acquiring Gagne, who has one year remaining on a contract that pays him $5.25 million a season.

    The Islanders, Avalanche, Thrashers and Blues might also be in a position to add Gagne's salary.

    Gagne has agreed to lift his no-trade clause and likely has given Flyers GM Paul Holmgren a list of teams for whom he would play.

    Los Angeles remains the most likely destination because of Gagne's relationship with assistant general manager Ron Hextall, head coach Terry Murray and assistant coach John Stevens, all of whom worked with the Flyers during Gagne's playing career here.

    If the Flyers are able to work out a deal with the Kings, the player that interests them the most is believed to be rugged right wing Wayne Simmonds, a 6-foot-2, 183-pounder who recorded 16 goals, 24 assists, 116 penalty minutes and was a plus-22 last season. Simmonds, 21, is entering the final year of a contract that pays him $821,667.

    If the Flyers can trade Gagne without taking on too much salary they can use the additional space to sign free-agent goaltender Marty Turco to a two- or three-year contract with a cap hit in the $2.5-$3 million range.

    gotta admit I've never heard of Simmonds. If you say that's good, I trust you...you know your shit. I'd still rather see carter go than gagne

    Yeah the kid is a blossoming power forward..2 good things if it happens 1)We desperately need a RIght Handed Shot from the wing 2)Perfect fit with Richards line..he likes to hit making some room for Richie

    Well this out of no where !

    Looks like the Flyers are signing Nikolai Zherdev

    Last played for the Rangers then went to the KHL (Russian League)

    He's a RW...compare him to Joffrey Lupul I would say

    I guess the Simmonds deal ain't happening :sigh:

    I think Car Bomb is gone..they have Powe to re-sign also who is a good on the PK

    Plus, I heard they are negotiating with Asham to come back

    If they sign Asham and already have Shelley I don't see Carcillo coming back

    I just hope we're not shipping out Gagne and this is the final result

    Zherdev is a lazy player who floats a lot..just what this team doesn't need more of

    Gagne says he hasn't granted any drop of his no-trade, but he understands the situation.

    just got the email....


    numbers are decent, but clearly, not up to 4th overall standards, but then again, he was playing for Columbus and the Rangers. should be a 100 point man on the Flyers. :lol:

    So what are they looking to get for Gagne? I mean now, with all that's gone down in the past couple weeks?
