A sympathy trade...one for the good ol days. Fascinating.

The Snider will allow Homer to resign peacefully like old yeller

By the way, Valeri "the next Eric Lindros" Nichuskin absolutely tearing it up in Dallas.

I really wanted him, soo (frank)ing close

Now that Snider has given Homer a vote of confidence, how many days/weeks until Hexy is promoted?
- feelingkettle

Luuko also added a vote of confidence... Hexy should start picking out furniture and moving it into the GM's office ASAP.

I saw Homer pumping his own gas at a Wawa in NJ today. It already may be too late.

if only we lost our last games right?

Yeah. Instead we're stuck with a defenseman who looked pretty damn good as an 18-year-old in his first training camp. Oh, what could have been...

Homer must of been that upset, he told the meager gas pumping boy to scram

It is what he brings to the ice, you cant measure that... even with a stick

No... those games needed to be won. I'd rather trade roster players for those kinds of needs.

Nich was like 20 on their best available prospects list, we weren't getting him no matter how high our pick

judging from his numbers i doubt he has been playing with a stick

You know what they say about defensemen who look good in their first training camp..

And that's the point, that you need the right mix.
But, yes, a clear-cut #1 would help.

That is the Flyers biggest issue right now. Even just a decent top 4 2 way player like Paul Martin would help this team a lot. I think the Flyers have to decide in the near future. Which 2 of the 3 defensive defenseman they want to keep.

You should get them on the roster as soon as they're ready?

When I thought we had a real shot to land suter or weber in 2012, I was really excited. IMO u need that to contend.

But yet Holmgren gets ripped and criticized for going after both players.

I would imagine Schenn and Grossmann stay and Coburn is moved to maximize cap space. At least that would be the argument for moving Coburn.

I don't know if that 1M makes that big of a difference. I personally feel that because of age, Schenn is going to stay. Unless he's involved in a trade of some sort to bring in a different piece. I think Grossmann is the better player over Coburn. But Coburn has much greater mobility, and Grossmann has bad knees. It's a tough call for me, because I like all 3 players. But I really feel that they have to tweak the mix on the defense.

sad part is they could trade any one of those 7 dmen and no one would be angry about it.

actually think moving Gus would get the most backlash

I am surprised that there hasn't been a trade yet.. I was execting a reactionary trade. Also surprised how quiet the rumors have been... not that they mean anything, but things have been a little too quiet.

Who would you like. Brodin, Faulk, Sbisa?

I think he takes some heat for not landing them and then not having a plan b.
