    no names mentioned. just that the leafs and flyers could be trade partners, with Schenn and cody franson as possible defenseman the flyers could target

    as i live in Toronto, the only thing that i can say is that if the Flyers do trade to Toronto i can see it being a center man. i don't know if we would want to trade a center to Toronto esp. for Luke Schenn who i don't think is a player who could be a shutdown d-man which is what we need.

    Gotta say Bob was really awesome last night. Shame that we know he will be terrible when it matters. Good to see some defense, even if it was against a terrible team.

    Schenn is really starting to look good - hopefully he avoids the injury curse the rest of the year.

    i know this might the wrong answer, but i don't see why you said we know he will be terrible when it matters. last year was his rookie year. he might still be a very good goalie.

    Schenn is a very good player and will only get better when he starts to play alot more.

    I hope you're right.

    Last year he was great and then lousy down the stretch and in the playoffs.

    This year he was great for the 5 games in a row then terrible on national tv in the baseball park.

    gonna take more than a goalie to fix this shit. it's the same story game after game....they can't shut the other team down. the defense/goaltending blows. they need to work on that shit if they want to do anything.

    i'm not sold on the richards trade yet either. the carter deal i like, the richards trade has been a bust this year.....couple of years it can swing around, but.....

    simmonds has been pretty awesome. I like him a lot. Schenn has had a tough year (unlucky), but I'm willing to give him more time before I say the trade was a bust. I do miss richards though. Didn't he get another concussion??

    the carter trade has been fantastic. coturier is going to be really, really good.

    Luke Schenn to the flyers rumors floating around. They will get another defenseman. Holmgren knows that he can't play Lilja in important games. That guy is a cone with limbs


    so far the richards deal has been a dud. Simmons is ok for a third liner...Schenn is the key...nice to see him actually playing and producing a little. this trade is way to early to pass judgement...i will conceed that.

    carter deal has been fantastic. love 14. killing pp's as a 18 year old rookie. amazing..and now his offense is starting to show up.

    i thought bob was jerked around in the playoffs last year.

    i'll take 5 good followed by one bad all day long. he's clearly outplaying iyla right now.

    cone with limbs...that's about right. i expected more. he's been aweful.

    nice to see they finally found a guy from the minors that can play in bourdon.

    simmonds is on pace for 20+ goals. he's more than just a checker.

    i don't agree that the richards trade is a dud. you also have Voracak and don't forget that it also opened up some good cap space

    I wish they would call gustaffson back up. I liked him a lot before he hurt his wrist.

    They will figure this out...still 3 full months before playoffs.

    voracek was part of the carter deal.

    I do agree that the richards trade could still be good. I think I heard richards is out with another concussion. He can't seem to stay healthy.

    93 and 14 came from Columbus in the Carter deal.

    Simmonds and Schenn came from LA in the richards deal.

    Schenn is the key to the Richards deal....simmonds was just an extra part. at this point, i'd rather have Richards....but long term, i think it will turn out to be good deal....

    ok. I could have sworn I heard he had another concussion. Oh well, I was probably drunk at the time :D

    just looking at carter's stats.....4 hits in 30 games. i could get 4 hits in one shift if they let me on the ice. :lol:


    richards missed 8 games in december with a concussion

    your right. that was a part of the carter trade. my bad. i still think long term both trades will be good for both teams.
