    Just another quiet off season in Flyerland :lol:

    I can't even wrap my head around this yet

    I will say I wanted Simmonds last year when the rumors were out there but that was for Carter.

    Like I said when they were bounced again in the playoffs all of these disappointments came under the Richie-Carter regime..not shocked the team is going in a different direction. Rightfully or not they are the "Franchise" Wouldn't be surprised if Lavy had some major input..especially the Richards trade. I dont think he was a good fit for captain or a good leader.

    Pronger or Little Danny will be wearing the "C"

    Bryzgalov deal first 7yrs $48 million thats the guts of the deal. Money by year $10M,$6.5M,$8M,$6M,$6M,$5.5M,$5.5M,$2.25M,$1.25M

    Haven't seen much of Schenn but they're saying he's a stud prospect only 19 years old drafted in '09

    I heard Versteeg is next to go
    My drinking team has a hockey problem

    The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

    The goalie will be fine

    How the rest of the roster is filled is the question

    actually the contract isn't that bad since it's front loaded. that's what they did with timonen too. smart

    I know he's not what he used to be, but I'd love to see gagne back on a cheap 1 year deal

    Yeah..Homer has been slick with that

    There was a rumor about Gagne coming back

    This team has been turned over to Giroux and JVR as the young core

    Brad Richards name is floating around also

    Hockey's Future Top 50 NHL Prospects



    1) Brayden Schenn - C - Los Angeles Kings


    Schenn's quality play for five different teams in a whirlwind season cements his status as the top prospect in hockey. His performance with Team Canada at the World Junior Championships in particular, where his 18 points in seven games tied Canada's all-time tournament record, made Schenn a household name. He has been dominant in the WHL as well, totaling 22 goals and 57 points in 29 regular season games split between Brandon and Saskatoon. The two-way center should have no problem stepping onto the Kings roster next year and playing a major all-around role for the team, eventually ascending to the second-line center slot that has been all but officially set aside for him.

    lost in all this talk about richards and carter is that the D was left untouched. solid D in front of solid goaltending is a recipe for success when coupled with the the forwards they still have on the roster

    From what I've been reading he's not the best skater, but he has good hands and plays physical. Sounds like my type of player.

    yeah, if pronger can stay healthy this team should contend for the east again. And this is before they add any other pieces up front

    I also heard someone say earlier (think it was panaccio, but I forget) that both richards and carter had no trade clauses that kick in after the upcoming season.

    I still can't believe richards got traded.

    yep. crazy day.

    was driving back up from baltimore and my phone started blowing up. I even put on 610 for a little while to see what the F was going on. Is eskin still on there? he wasn't today around 4, which was a pleasant surprise. anyway I heard the carter trade went down and I was soooo fired up. then 15 minutes later they reported that richards was gone too and I was bummed.

    this lefty the phils brought in looks like a spider

    Yeah, I heard it all at once. Then on my drive to class they started talking about Stamkos, and I'm thinking "Jesus Christ, let's easy up here." All I know is thank God the entire douche crew is now out of this city.

    Glad Abreu, I mean Carter, is gone. And I gotta say, I feel pretty much the same about Richards. A little more on the fence about that one, but for what they got in return and having Bryz signed is fine by me. Richards isn't a captain. Great two-way player, but he wasn't built to be the captain, give that shit to Pronger. And there's no way you demote the captain and keep him on the team. I like it all around. I'm thinking there's gotta be another move coming too. Not holding my breath, but it makes sense.
