I think we need to upgrade the defense. Ed Van Impe handles the puck like a hot potato. And have you seen his Relative Corsi?

I never saw anything written by him. Was he like a Cloutier but with anger problems?

Cloutier has a POS new website where Matt Berry and Ian Esplen both write now. What a collection of dumbasses....

I'm glad they've come together and isolated themselves to a corner of the web we can all easily avoid.

Bill. What would the asking price be for Daley? I was thinking it would be Read and a 2nd.

It may be. But just because you CAN meet the asking price and fill a position of need (i.e. the proposed Weber trades) doesn't mean you should do them. Read is a better player than Daley, and is more important to this team that the slight upgrade Daley may bring.

Do you think Daley is a significantly better defenseman then Nicholas Grossmann was when the Flyers acquired him in Feb of 2012? Or significantly better then Meszaros was when the Flyers acquired him in July of 2010?

Daley's neither a salary-cap albatross nor an impending UFA, though.

Doesn't change what is a reasonable price to pay for Daley. Read and a 2nd round pick is a drastic overpayment.

I look at it as is what the cost to give up worth it & if so how many other areas does it then open up to fill that they'll lack the ammo to accomplish

I'm not sure the Flyers would give up what their current respective teams would ask for any of these players, but they are all impending UFAs who would probably not require trading a current starter on the roster.


Lol we are talking about the same GM who traded JVR for Schenn, and Bobrovsky for Mason, right?

Suddenly he's wise?

Not a fan of making the deal for him -- I just don't think you can predict what he'll command based on what Grossmann (impending UFA) and Meszaros (salary albatross) were traded for.
