In all honesty, the only players I wouldnt consider trading are Giroux, Mason and maybe Voracek and Couturier (hes still only 20). Thats it.

I would trade G in a second for the right package.

Sure if you are getting back a little under a point per game player in the regular season and over a point per game player in the playoffs over the course of his career.

His not standing for losing is the cause of a lot of the flyers problems if you ask me.
- nastyflyergirl


I don't blame him for what we're seeing tonight.

He paid Hartnell. He paid Simmonds. He paid Giroux, and Timonen. Matt Read just got his extension. Coburn got his.

All these guys can take Ed Snider's money, but they can't stop a team from dropping five goals on them in a period?

That's not on Ed Snider. That's on these players.

Id move Vinny, hes 34 and this team is going no where. Vinny could get a 1st+ from a contender.

I think Homer gets to the all star break.

All I want is for them not get meaningless victories at the end of this season screwing up what should be a very high pick.

If they can improve to a higher position by firing Holmgren then I am all for it.

It would have to be one heck of a return for sure. Like a top pairing dman plus a young forward and a high pick. Something like that.

Changes I'd make after the game:

1. Remove the C from Giroux
2. Trade one of Hartnell/Simmonds for speed
3. Sit Timo and Grossmann in favor of Mez and whomever

IF ownership wants to shake up the roster, are they really comfortable with Holmgren making those deals?

I don't follow the team closely enough to know better. Also, honest question but how is Berube doing?

- golfingsince


Berube is doing just fine thank you.

Amen. Every forrest needs a good purging to be able to regrow properly.
- jstross



Ive said it a thousand times but after the last season of suck Snider said the flyers would never again trade kids or picks....they would get back to the grassroots of the 70's and 80's where they built from within. that lasted a year or so. I am open to a trade but I still want to hold onto the kids they have. if this season continues like this I would try to move veterans for picks or prospects but that is a long way down the road.

this team needs an infusion of speed and skill. there is talent but something is wrong with the mix.

It took Holmgren six years to build this mess...going to take a while to fix it.

I can't even have an opinion on Berube because he should have been named coach over the summer. Him and Mason are the only guys I feel bad for... maybe Downie too.

No way Timo should be playing ahead of Mez right now. He looks like he has cement in his skates.
