We're talking about Holmgren here....the same guy that traded Richards, Carter, 2 1sts Lupul and Sbisa for an aging Pronger...signed Bryzgalov to a ridiculous contract only to buy him out a couple years later....traded JVR for Schenn....Giroux could be had.

good point although id have to think phaneuf would be going the other way in a deal for giroux since they would need a big name to move him i would think

this has gone past the pot bong, right to the crack pipe.

Giroux plays right wing doesn't he?

gonna go out on a limb here guys....giroux prolly not trade bait.
- Barx

you sure?

i mean if theyre willing to move Luke they must be willing to move anyone

he is a franchise player afterall

gonna go out on a limb here guys....giroux prolly not trade bait.

Crazier things have happened, especially with the Flyers.

About to hit Blue Meth Levels.....

Does anyone actually, honestly think Reimer + 1st is enough for Giroux?

you forgot to add Bozak, that there is the clincher.

the only thing is what if giroux doesnt bounce back, that would be a frightening gomez-esque contract

Whats wrong with Winnipeg? Great City. I had a blast living in the North End in my early 20`s.

yeah I was in the North / West in my pre-teens early teens.....got steam rolled daily on the way to and from school lol just about the worst few years of my life.

Media reports are stating that nobody on the team is untouchable.

buddy was gracious for the waxed bat

What a POS move Emery pulled, putting the beat down on an unwilling combatant. The Flyers are falling apart at the seams, Knuckles Bernier would kick his ass !

He's always been a dirtbag.

Excellent, I hope he likes it.

They'd want Kadri coming back...

Then again they traded JVR for Schenn so who knows.

Any caliber in particular?

Yeah, that's not a great age to be in the NorthEnd Peg.

Sorry to hear that. Orr and Maclaren would have got punked in that area so don't feel so bad.

It would be, but I think it has more to do with his linemates not being that good and the current state of the Flyers. In between JVR and Kessel, 90-100 points would not be out of the question...and I could only imagine what it would do for JVR and Kessel's play and numbers. Would probably be the best 1st line in the league.

Half that team has NMC/NTC ......Unless Giroux groped Snider's daughter he isn't going anywhere for a package that doesn't include a superstar coming back.

Giroux plays right wing doesn't he?
- Drapz

He actually plays in Philly, and he will for the remainder of his contract, my guess.

ok stop talking about this im getting a bulge in my pants thinking about that as a top line

I'm actually kinda pumped to see a lupul JVR kessel line.
JVR has the size speed and skill to be thrive at center, assuming he can get back and play on the defensive side of things. He's got a week to remember how to take faceoffs.

Lupul JVR Kessel
Raymond Kadri Clarkson
Bodie McClement Kulemin
McLaren Smith Orr

Not terrible considering the injuries
