The most surprising part of the 3 year extension announcement was that it did not include a no trade clause.

Mason should fire his agent.

St. Louis is going off. 4 goals in a little more than a period of play.

He's got a bigger gripe than Giroux not making the Olympic team.

- PLindbergh31


I know. Especially, since he actually plays RW. He may end up being in the discussion for the Hart

I think it's too early to just say Mez is out of the question for next season

This site is dramatically skewed toward the Flyers fanbase in membership. Other teams have other places their fans gravitate to. Posts on this site isn't a good indicator. You might have a point if you could aggregate posts on all hockey fora.

No doubt but I think its a safe bet that the Flyers have a larger fan base than the Islanders

It was definitely gonna be his last chance at the Olympics. G is still young. Don't know if that had anything to do with it, but that could be a factor.

That's what I mean. This is his last chance at the Olympics, he's having a better season than Giroux as well. I don't understand why he's not on the team.

Guess Yzerman hasn't seen him play much this year.

Portland is a very underrated city in terms of coolness and sports fan base.
- PhillySportsGuy

No one underrates its coolness. Powell's Books, man. But probably the fact that it has only an NBA team in the major sports category limits its sports fan cred.

Send Rosehill to Adirondack, trade L. Schenn for Orr.

Ive never visited, but I really want to. My friends say it's a really laid back atmosphere with unbelievable breweries and good seafood. Right up my alley.

They've always seemed like a great basketball atmosphere. You think about the poop that franchise has experienced. Sam Bowie, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy and crazy rasheed wallace. They still show up and display a great atmosphere.

I was thinking along the lines of Bschenn, LSchenn, Voracek, and a pick for Weber. The rest are (praying to the hockey gods they get there) UFA signings.

Definitely. Especially since this is his last shot at the Olympics.

Suter didn't want to be there. Nashville would have had to offer a ridiculous amount to retain him.

I don't think Weber wanted to be either. I have a feeling he'd be a Flyer, if they didn't offer sheet him.

True, but if a player no longer wants to be at a team, a manager has to find out as soon as possible and try to move him for some return. Nashville still could've gotten a very good return for Suter if they traded him prior to that offseason.
