im not ready to build him a statue yet. All he's done is tear it down. let's see how he builds it up.


meanwhile the Pelicans now have Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and have an offer sheet into Tyreke Evans.

- Crimsoninja


Pelicans been in rebuild mode for awhile now. It's about time they start becoming a good team.

Sixers are heading in that direction just have to wait it out.

Flyers better not trade Bradyn Schenn if they sign Vinny
- Winning


I don't think they trade him (although they obviously could), but one thing Vinny's presence would do is to push BSchenn over to wing.

is that an e3, then?
- BulliesPhan87



If we get Lecavalier, B. Schenn has to move at the wing.


Schenn - Giroux - Voracek

Hartnell - Lecavalier - Simmonds

Read - Couturier - Gagne

Rinaldo - Talbot - Laughton


*Switching left wingers on different line combos looking for chemistry

*Rosehill in when we play Pitt.


Kimmo - Schenn

Coburn- Streit

Gus - Grossman

Lauridsen
Mez

Apparently it's down to 2 teams, except for all of the other ones, and we might or might not hear something soon.

And miss my witticisms?
Sigh...
Re-cap:
Timmy is insane and should fit right in, emery is close to signing with chicago and has this hip issue (who knew!), Lecavelier needs a hover-round on the ice but appears to be coming here, and Rusty is gone to Europe offically...

I will take another year of Leighton over him.
Actually, it's a push. God, maybe I'd rather take Rick "Glass" DiPietro.
I don't know.

He started it off right imo. Getting three young players and adding some cap space. Sixers are not resigning any players or spending on free agency. Best way to build is through draft and having cap space for future players.

As someone said, basketball isn't about building, it's about when you sign 2 or more superstars to your team.

Vincent Lecavalier might pick his next team over the next two days, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. The Lightning will buy out Lecavalier, who has reportedly talked to as many as 15 clubs. He is rumored to want to stay on the East coast, but it's unclear which team might be the frontrunner. The Panthers, Canadiens, Bruins and Stars are all reportedly interested in Lecavalier, who is said to be asking for a five-year, $25 million deal.

Ok
Tim Thomas yea. Despite his personality he's a fantastic goalie.
Laughton should be playing. As long as we play McGinn over Rosehill on the 4th, our 4th line would actually be able to do alittle bit of scoring, play alittle bit of defense, and rough teams up ALOT. It'd be good imo.
Vinny L, yes. He still almost produces a pt/game, and he plays away from Stamkos and St. Louis on an underwhelming Tampa team. $5mil/3 or 2 years left isn't an untradeable contract, which people seem to forget. We'd be able to trade him if we felt we needed to. My concern is, does he play a physical game, or is he just 6'4? I honestly don't know that much about his game.

thats such a shame. the game itself is awesome, but just as a league it will never compare due to that reason. you dont get rewarded for a smart building of a team. that spurs team is probably the last of its kind

speaking of Talbot any word on his injury? He healing ok? I know Holmgren said our D was cleared to play except for Mez, what about Talbot?
- FlyersGrace


I saw him at my gym Memorial Day weekend. He was still hobbling and using crutches. His injured leg had really atrophied. He may be off crutches by now and said he would have to build the leg back, but would be ready for camp......really nice dude.
