One name and one name only. Bill Meltzer. None of the local writers that cover the team are any good.

I think Dustin Leed's been pretty good as well. Of course, Bill is still number one

i'm going to be like this (depending on what they give up in return, of course):

Eskin does a good job at getting info, but he doesn't know the sport that well.

Meltzer is the one I read first, although I read most of the others, too. I think Leed does a good job for a guy that isn't a regular beat guy. Dave Issac does a good job too.

yeah, that is the long and short of it

yeah, bill is by far number one. i like leed on twitter. tim p is useless at this point, all he does is complain. sam and frank arent great but not worthless.

I pay no heed to Tim, Sam, and Frank. I don't respect their dramatic stylings.

Who do you think is good then? Seravelli? Leed? Eskin? Panaccio?
- moylander

I will always listen to Eskin anything flyers related. Except if he starts talking hockey.

One of the most important questions I have in this entire scenario is. Are the Flyers prepared to walk away without getting Weber?

That's the million dollar question. Lots of talk of the Preds 'bluffing', but what if they aren't?

But they are Twitter guys correct? They may break things as far as what happens. But what do they do as far as analysis is concerned?

I wonder a lot about that. I think that the desire is burning really hot.

Absolutely not! You will never get this chance again. It will happen. Holmgren is too smart to bluff. He has to make the offer too sweet for Nashville to walk away.

Its actually a great question that no one in the media is asking but should be....Unless Poile matches and then the decision is made for him

I think so also. That can be both bad and good. This is so interesting to see how this is going to play out. It's also amazing that nothing is leaking out.

- MJL

He's on twitter, and writes for The Hockey Guys. He seems to know the game well enough. He and Todd Cordell (writes the Devils on hockeybuzz) make interesting hockey conversation on the twitter.

I will again ask you then. Why didn't Holmgren do that before going the Offer Sheet route. If he was prepared to make that kind of offer, why didn't he do so already?

That's the million dollar question. Lots of talk of the Preds 'bluffing', but what if they aren't?
- BulliesPhan87

then who cares

we lose nothing and the team comes in chomping at the bit to prove they deserve to stay.

I think you over value what Homer will give up...Probably going to the Read Voraceck Mezaros Gus MAB players....I dont think he will give up Schenn or Coots period
