Swap B. Schenn for Couturier and I strongly consider it but that 1st is looking like Ekblad and I don't know if getting them will turn our fortunes around enough now or in the next 5 to 10 years to make it worth it. My opinion anyway.

I would take that a run. At the very least, you're getting two young proven NHL players for a rental and a pick that we should be trading anyway. Makes a statement that the team is through with losing.

Better not include our 1st....

Gunning for that crossover spot. Only have to be better than 2 of Colorado, Dallas, Nashville, Chicago and St.Louis. Totally possible!

Really is mind boggling how Giroux is playing so poorly thus far. Everyone thought he was going to break out this season and a lock for Team Canada

Luke Schenn sucks. The fact that the entire population of Toronto didn't line up polish Burke's knob for that trade baffles me.

Bobby Mac was on local radio today. He said that even last season Giroux looked "disinterested" in the "dirt and grime" that wins games.

And when you think about it, dude had one elite season and a couple Mike Ribiero years. He is Mike Ribiero.

Don't say that on the Flyers board.

He needs other players around him to be truly effective. He had his best years playing with Carter and Richards on the team, and the following year with Jagr.

But they'll find money for those dudes when they're paying 3rd liners and 7th Dmen 4 million dollars.

And him over 8 which is absurd.

He had that 60-something point year before hand which made Philly think it was cool to trade a Selke level centre and a dude who scores 30 pretty often for role players.

I'd hardly say that Simmonds, Schenn, Couterier, and Voracek are just role players. Both Cooter and Schenn hold big upside, Simmonds is at least a top-9 winger capable of playing skill, and Voracek is a complimentary top-line winger. I believe there was even another pick in there somewhere, as well. Obviously hindsight makes that trade look bad as LA won a Cup with those two, but it's not like all those players have topped out.

Yes, but the season prior he put up pretty good numbers something in the 60's for a point total I believe. The Flyers had Carter, Richards, Gagne and JVR that year.

Too bad they blew up that team. I know that "partying" was a problem, but those dudes won them games and playoff series. Hell, they could have kept one and just traded the other. That JVR trade blew up in their face.

I think it was an overreaction to the sweep by Boston. Homer made irrational moves after that series.

So did the Bobrovsky trade, man that was dumb too.
