I like Emery. I just hope his hips can hold up.

Of all the options left, he's the one I dislike the least (if that makes sense).

Also, if the $3m/year is true, I knew he'd get more than folks were thinking last month. He was 17-1 last year for crying out loud. You think he's not going to cash in on that?

Same here. We will see with time if he is legit, just thought it was odd that he's all of a sudden predicting everything the flyers will do. I know nothing about him.

we'll find out soon enough who they'll sign. homer is aggressive. he never waits for the players he wants. ever. it's only 10:18. which is annoying.

I wonder if Edmonton would do Couts and Coburn for nurse and paajarvi and a pick? We'd have to gamble on Mesz for a year but Nurse gas a better chance to jump in next year in a limited role than Morin.

I hear you. I could be wrong, but I think he does not have quite as much value in the market as everyone seems to believe, and even less so in a package with Mesz. I'd also consider a package with Laughton.
- TheGreat28

homer has held onto couts because he wasn't getting value back in a trade, I don't see a
reason to change that strategy today


someone will take mez for a late round pick

I was just reading some of this dude Rich whatever the hell his name is.

He reports that the Flyers top concern was to get a Giroux extension done and finalized before making their moves. Wanted to know where they were going forward.

Mentioned interest in Evander Kane, and that multiple moves were in the works, including moving Grossmann and Meszy, and retaining Coburn.

Still too much if the plan is for him to play 20-25 games.

Mason won't get 60 games. I'm going to go out on a limb right now and predict he'll be nailed to the bench by Thanksgiving.

and somehow this will all be holmger's fault even though he won't offer sheet anyone. at the same time nobody will have a problem with it, and it will suddenly be a perfectly acceptable tactic.
