    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:

    Nice video here of his skill...shame he doesn't show it every night

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

    I think it's more of a salary dump

    Prospects maybe picks back

    BTW I hear Zherdev is good friends with Kovalchuk...if he doesn't sign with NJ and the Flyers can clear space...

    STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPEN !!!

    I hope not. I don't want Kovalchuk on the team. I agree that trading gagne is a salary dump. we have to resign Claude, Leino and JVR soon.

    Kovalchuk's teams never win anything. Coincidence???

    What I think the hold up is with Gagne or Carter being moved is Kovy

    If he signs with LA they wont trade with the Flyers but if he signs with NJ I'm sure LA will still be looking

    Something tells me after this long wait he ends up in the KHL

    Will like to thank Gagne for everything he did for the Great Flyers this past post season and the past years. I for one will still cheer for you except when you play against the Flyers and at that point i will hate you. :lol:

    If Carter isn't moved I see TURCO coming in unfortunately

    I don't think Carter goes anywhere. just have that feeling. I also don't see Turco coming here but it all depends on what is happening around the all-star break. if the flyers are near the top and they are confident in their d than no trade for a goalie and if there not comfortable with the D i can see Turco.

    I think they grab turco on the cheap. might only take 1.5 - 2 million to sign him for a year. they are gonna have to make another trade with all of these defensemen. pretty sure they currently have 8 d-men under contract.

    yep right now they have 8 dman under contract. well we tried to sign Turco for 2 million already and he said no so i think we can get him cheaper. maybe a Leighton price. yet again, i don't see them going for Turco until after all star break.

    you could say that you got Claude Giroux and JVR. welcome to a cap NHL. you have to make decision like this. it could be worse. look at what happen to the Blackhawks.
