would be VERY VERY hard to give up staal but that's a very fair trade. how about we throw that 1st back in there and sub out schultz for petry (if he's that good)?

What other things, if you don't mind me asking?

Showed signs of favoritism, playing players in roles that aren't best suited for them, I wasn't a fan of the benching, its great he likes fitness but with Pro athletes it should be irrelevant. His system seems to give up way to many goals. He seems to be trying to force his will on the players instead of helping them succeed. He reminds me a bit of Sacco.

I know there were 2 other solid points but I just can't remember what they were honestly. Its pretty late over here and my brain is a little fried.

He will probably just go to Car once he is an FA anyways so why not trade him

he's our best two way guy. if we're giving yaks I want to get markedly better defensively or in net.
staal>>>>>n Schultz
staal >>petry

and as I said, no more picks as a big piece. in fact, im not completely opposed to dealing ours..


original deal is pretty good

same deal as miller. no way we deal yaks if the main piece can just walk.

staal or miller need to resign or the other piece needs to also be huge. (more than kreider)

myers+
kreider+

and if miller and/or staal resigns, we'll throw in a 3rd



staal(signed),kreider and dorsett

So Sam Gagner, Dubby and +(prospects/picks) for Miller, Myers


Perron Hall Eberle

Hemsky Nuge Yakopov

as top 2 lines


Defense:

Ference Myers

Smid Justin Schultz

Top 2 pairings on defense

Staal to Carolina has merit to it though as all 3 of his brothers play there and they need a Dman.

Why would miller leave and where would he go to? All I have heard is "because Edm sucks" well in that case no one should ever sign there.

If he wants to win a cup though EDM is about as good a place as any. Better than FLA or Calgary.

I hope there are a ton of picks and prospects because I don't see Buffalo parting with Myers by himself for that.

Now that our non-essential govt workers are allowed to milk the tax payers for their salaries with 12% of the govt coming back to work today... are the flyers allowed to score now?

I say lets blame DC on the Flyers early struggles!!

The russian stigma will always haunt hockey players. After Kovi retiring, Radulov pulling a Radulov and Nickuchkin (or what ever his name is) saying its NHL or russia, there is always that risk that comes with these players. If you are going to invest into such an important part of your team its important to know that they just wont bolt on you and leave you in a situation like the Devils this year where they will be a bottom feeding team with no 1st round pick.

Russians are also known for having the stigma of playing a strong individual game but being lazy on the back check and lacking in teamwork.

While this isn't fair nor a solid argument in any way shape or form and while you could say that about a lot of players regardless of ethnicity, it is something that lingers in the back of peoples minds.

Yaks recent interview, well translated or not, didn't help that. As skilled as he is, if he is going to be stubborn and selfish he isn't worth much.

Look at a player like Hossa, you can score as many 100 point seasons as you want but until you learn to play 2 way hockey you wont win a cup.

The only useful players. What a joke. They might not be Stars, but you make it sound like the rest of the team are beneath the NHL. Sorry Bubba, but if you think Smid, Petry, Ferrence, Belov, Hemsky, Gordon etc have no use in the NhL than you haven't been watching.At all.

Cooshie just being a Richard as usual, but no your offer is not even close. We don't want a goalie prospect. We would want someone to play NOW. We have better D prospects than Siemens on the way. And we are up against the max # of contracts. Cant take 3 back for one.

You want someone who can play now and Yak is not playing??? He just rides the pine. Typical...

Sure. It's the Flyers way. Need defense and a goalie? Acquire forwards, fire the coach.
