There it is, my favorite buzzword! You know you have a compelling and qualified argument when you must resort to debase the other guy

Stating what "everyone" outside of Philly thinks is even better.

Now look at what? Neither has proven anything. They could be busts just as well as they could be very good. That's what you're missing. Bernier is not a guarantee of anything.

And what are we giving up to get Bernier?

Don't forget we also have to pay for a scoring winger. Boy, that Cup winning core is going to look great after we trade them all away!

Plus a #1 defenseman. Is there an NHL Player Flea Market that I'm unaware of?

Of course! What we need to truly be competitors is favorable league-wide opinions on all our players!

Really, it sounds like the cornerstone of our roster needs to be some sort of mystical hockey conjurer at this point. We've got quite a shopping list of things we apparently need for this magical 100% certain Cup run in 3-4 years.

Flyers ought to hire some PR people to change the public perception of the team, outside of Philly, so they're not considered a joke. Only then, can they truly expect to contend for a Cup.

You can thank Pronger for that stealing pucks and shooting towels at Chicago players in the Finals.

It won't help anyway, what we truly need is youth in net if we want to win. After all, can you really see Bryz carrying this team to the cup like that young buck Tim Thomas?

Apparently it's not a sense of humour.

That's right, I said it. I just threw water on the Gorilla in the room.

You really should watch Lundqvist in net. Not a bad goalie.

But not a great one in the playoffs.

So your suggesting to buy Bryz out at the end of the year and then trade a piece for Bernier?
- stveshdy

Trade or buy out briere buy out bryz if briere gets traded. Buy out pronger. Opens up tons of cap space. Trade coots ( I like him but we have Laughton ) or picks or package things together for high prospect goalie #1 puck moving dman or True #1scoring winger for g. Between coots picks and free agency should be able to get at least 2 of those things. Let them gel with the rest of our core and gives a few years to add last pIece of puzzle if needed in a few years when all comes togetgher. Sorry but it's alot better plan than now. Like I said earlier Philly always thinks they have shot at cup. And they are fooling themselves. Trading for oats or Burke I mean WTF build it the right way. They Ritchie and carts but get 31 year old goalie. Dumb.

Pronger can't be bought out because he is injured.

Obviously Jonathan Bernier is superior to Ilya Bryzgalov, and the cost is only Sean Couturier
- Jsaquella


Yeah, only. Not to mention LA has enough ex-Flyers. If they miss the playoffs Columbus could have a huge draft.

Anthony Stolarz stopped 24 out of 25 shots in London's 8-1 win over Erie today.

Laughton & Suellentrop had no points today in Oshawa's 6-2 win over Sudbury

Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks plays against Spokane in 45 minutes.

Interesting. What if the young goalie falls flat on his face? I do understand what your saying.
