Hockey central is talking about the Flyers and say they are going to have someone on the show to give us insight coming straight from the top... Snider or Homer going on the show?

Whoever it is probably won't supply a myriad of cliches as answers.

It was a general statement not direct reply to you. Just seems like some people want to blow up the team but expect to do so without giving up assets. I have no idea how I take that trade since I'm not extremely familiar with eberle. If your deal gets it done do you feel it's the right deal to make?
- funmaster18

I'm torn. I proposed the trade so I tried as hard as I could to make it hurt. I have no great love for Schenn or Emery but having to watch Couturier in Edmonton...

I still think it would be a good move.

I think youneed to make a move on the back end and I think you can with Toronto. They have the exact opposite problem that we do. No first line centers and a bunch of young puck movers in back.

It's not going to fix everything but it changes the mix and might get things back on track for next season.

That's just my idea off of what I know. Keep in mind I watch a lot of Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver games so those are the teams I know best outside of the Flyers.

I think it would be a major mistake taking the C away and I don't think the Flyers are even entertaining that thought. if they are, I really have questions about the management.

Snider, I guess, has been talking with Sarah Baicker and is probably making himself available to the media so he can talk about Freddie Shero, who is going to be inducted in the HHoF this weekend.

Yeah. They are now speaking about Sniders comments.

I hope they don't trade Coots. I still believe!

And my own personal bias is to keep G, Vinny, Read, Grossmann and Coburn. Anyone else I could be reconciled to losing.

If they are going to pull off a trade for Eberle, I could see Schenn, a prospect and a pick going the other way.

I really hope they don't throw in Couturier or Simmonds as I think those guys can be useful here.

I've never seen anything like this in the 34 years I've been watching. I've never seen a team that just flat-out cannot score.

The Flyers aren't the first team to be somewhat soft, or have a few too many players who play a perimeter game.

But I've never seen any of those teams be in a situation where they flat-out cannot score -- again, we were on the verge of setting a record for the modern era.

I've never seen anything like this.

When we hang out with all our friends I stay with the guys. I talk hockey, gaming, sci-fi/fantasy books, horror films, comics, anime, etc.. I once got caught being polite while some of their girlfriends talked about their most recent purse party. My fiancee lost it. He said I looked miserable. He had no idea...

I think one of Grossman, Coburn, and Meszaros needs to go.

One of these will fetch more than the other, and I'm pretty sure Coburn would get the most despite most people's hatred of him here.

I guess I disagree because you need stay at home defensemen and those are our best 2 right now. Besides who could live life without Coburn's nose? Or Grossmann's looming shadow blocking shots!

Someone is reporting to Hockey Central that the Flyers are hot on Jordan Eberle.
