Hey Bill. What do you think of the Flyers putting together a package of coburn,read,cousins for shattenkirk.They could sweeten it with mesz or a 2014 pick.

JVR had a solid Season, but it wasn't anything special. But he cooled off in the2nd half. He scored 4 goals in the last 22 games.
- MJL

both plyrs have a lot to prove after just 48 gms of fairly good play. JVR was dynamite in the plyoffs and that is special and he's demonstrated that quality before. jury still out...

you guys dont want to do coburn and the 11th for ryan, but swapping coots for etem makes it worthwhile? id take couturier over etem

Imagine our Defensive Corps without L. Schenn.
- Doc_Sarcasm


He's been good...playing like that, at 23, amidst that mess of a season is reassuring. I was especially impressed as his minutes increased down the stretch when Grossmann (and Coby and later, Timo) went down to injury......he pretty much showed me he has the makings of a top pairing d man...he reminds me a bit of 1995-2000 era Scott Stevens. Tough as nails, hitter, solid defensive game, not going to blow you away offensively, but 25-30 points isn't out of reach. Now, if we only had a Scott Niedermayer to pair him with. Hey, he's only 39 right? Geyumm dumm Holmergrin

I wouldn't move Coots unless it is for an upper, top-tier d-man which generally are not available.

nah typically not. and if we are talking upper top tier it will probably have to be even more than coots. i think a deal revolving around simmonds for edler would be a decent secondary option.

Agreed, Coots would only be a part of such a trade. I'm not sure what to make of the Coburn trade rumors.

Btw, when did a Flyers-Pens playoff game breakout in the SCF.

This game is crazy.

Crawford's glove is worse than Bryz's 5 hole. I never thought that'd ever be achieved....

i wouldnt be sure either. i guess it depends on how you view him. the opinion seems to run the spectrum. and yeah i know right. but still, it just seems to me to just be the result of both teams playing really well, as opposed to both playing really bad (as the pens/flyers typically did) if that makes any sense

Someone should check the weight and webbing of that glove cause it either has holes in it or weighs 25lbs. It's bad.

Wait a minute...we all have to pay cause Crawford's glove hand looks like it's pulling a sleigh? How is that fair?

Here's a novel idea:

Don't (frank)ing trade anyone for anybody because the prices are too damn high.
