    Why would Ottawa trade anything for briere when they can sign him in 2 weeks for no picks, less money, and not a 6 million dollar cap hit?

    Less competition and they would only have to pay him $2 M and can eat the $6M cap hit. They were apparently interested in him last year prior to his concussion.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    Sounds like LA wants to get rid of him before a team can offer him an offer sheet. They'd only get back a 2rd pick if they didn't match. YOU PAUL DO IT!!!!

    If they trade Read and maybe a 2nd round I will be ok with it. i still have a feeling that they are not going to buy out Ilya this year.

    I'd rather sign Emery for 1.5-2.0 mill. Trade Read,Coburn and a 2nd for Ryan. I'd then package Coots and Mazaros for Shattenkirk. And whoever we draft at 11 should be ready this year or at the latest next year. Save cap and get a stud winger and def.
    Go Birds!!!!

    beside the d, this team is young and I would rather have a young goalie that we can build around. I am getting tired of the flyers getting a stop gap at goalie.

    I also would not trade Coburn as he are very weak at d.

    This team is a mess. They've been chasing their tail far too long.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Snyder needs to move on and Homer has to go. No more Broad St. Bullies celebrations until there's something new to go along with them.

    the ryan trade rumors have been going on for 3 years now. they're pretty far fetched...it's annoying at this point. great, he's from here...that doesn't mean he's getting traded here, even if the flyers and their fans have a hard on for him.

    I agree man. I liked the direction this team was headed. but the streit move is so confusing.

    I also agree with whoever said bryz won't be amnestied. I think they keep him this year and try to push mason to be the goalie of the future. Amnesty Bryz after the year, sign mason long term, re-sign giroux.

    Their problem is going to be finding capable dmen.

    it's not the old, pre-cap nhl anymore where they can just spend more money than everyone else to solve their problems. The flyers really need to start developing more players...especially on defense

    I think the streit move was because timo is gone at the end of this coming year and they need a puck moving D-man. I don't know if Mason is the goalie of the future but why not give it a try and if you don't think he is than go for Bernier.

    I don't see why we trade the farm for Ryan. the main issue the flyers have is on d and he is not going to help with that, plus I don't know how we get under the cap with him.

    Just about every player rumor out there involves the Flyers being interested.
    99% of it is pure BS.

    I believe it's true because they don't know what they're doing.

    Here's what I do believe they will be doing this summer.

    I def think either Coburn or Mez will be dealt.

    I also think they are/will look into moving up into the draft. If they do, Jones would not be the target, either Mackinnon or Drouin would be their guy.

    While they still need a skilled winger to compliment Giroux, Ryan makes too much money. Does Coburn or Mez get moved to help take on upgrade?

    I do believe they are trying to get another youngish goalie in here. They need to have somebody in behind Mason, as trusting him to be the full time starter would be insanity. If they cant find one(price of Bernier/Hiller too high), then they prob keep Bryz around for 1 more year.

    Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren released the following statement with regards to Danny Briere's contract.

    “I met with Danny last week and informed him of our decision to use a compliance buy out on his contract. This was a very difficult decision for us to make as Danny has been a very good player for us over the past six years. Danny came to our organization as a free agent in July of 2007 and has been a tremendous player, person and role model in all aspects and for that we thank him. We wish him continued success and best wishes in any future endeavors.”

    Makes zero sense to me unless Couturier is dealt to improve another area.

    thought this was a good read from yesterday's Philly News about the Flyers. Interesting contrast in what they've done since the Cup finals and what Chicago and Boston have done with their rosters.

    I think that is very unlikely. It will cost a fortune to move up.

    Buffalo is nearly desperate to, they have gone on record saying that was what they wanted to do. They have 10 picks in the 1st 2 rounds in the next 3 years, and have a glut of prospects (and the #8 pick). Darcy Regier at a press conference today stated that it was impossible to trade up.
    Calgary offered Colorado all 3 of their 1st rounders for the 1st and they were denied.

    I dont see Florida or Tampa moving. The only way I see Colorado moving is with Florida or Tampa.
