haha you know i have a point though. this is when you have to get in on potentially getting a good young defender. once they hit their potential, then youre looking at guys that the flyers cant stomach parting with. have to risk it or concede paying the full freight for an established product.

It's rough...I'm open to moving guys, but I want more proven if I'm moving established NHLers

I don;t have time to study it. The time I'm not working or doing stuff with the kids, I'm watching hockey with you hooligans on the computer

i look at that stuff on the weekends and after work during the week obama and bernake screwed savers with QE infinity and inflation will have to come into effect eventually problem is the big guys might want to take all their rise out of companies and move it somewhere... where did they go? precious metals aka gold like right now i'm checking the charts as i post on here

Yeah, maybe they can flip Gus for Gilbert. That's intriguing, to say the least.

i don;t think Gustafsson is a cure all, but he should be playing because he brings speed/mobility and puck moving skills that they lack badly.

I'd rather smash my head with a brick than think of how badly Wall Street & DC have screwed people over. And that's republicans and democrats, not an exclusive club. The difference is the people that bought the politicians.

I would like to see Gustafsson get more playing time, and I've advocated that many times. But with the way Meszaros is playing, I don't think that I would play Gustafsson over Meszaros right now. I don't feel that Gustafsson is better with the puck then Meszaros is. And Meszaros is supplying much needed offense from the back end. And Gustafsson is not going to play over Schenn or Grossmann. Especially with the amount of penalties that the Flyers take. Schenn and Grossmann are key players on the Flyers 7th ranked penalty kill. The Flyers don't win the last two games without a strong penalty kill.

But for us, it's opening a hole to MAYBE close another. And the one we opened ain't easy to fill
- Just5

true. but i still maintain in todays league its pretty damn hard to fill a hole without at least using some dirt taken from somewhere else in the yard. and the Dman hole to fill is a hell of a lot harder to fill than the one read represents

Yeah, that's true. It's just too big a risk. Read is so valuable, not that a good defenseman wouldn't be. But he just fills so many uses, like a Swiss Army Knife.

It's a solid post. The PK has kicked ass all year. It's shaping up to be one of those years where you just gotta make it in. Now it's looking like we have a certified goalie

haha oh i know.

but come on. despres is a huge mobile defender with a hell of a shot. decent offensive instincts, and the ability to make the smart play to get it out of the zone. (this would be more evident if he was given time to show it)

and did i mention he is young? imagine a top 4 consisting of him and morin. the sheer size!

Had to head off to work, sounds like a poopty game to miss the end of.

They make you hate them at times, but there is a bit of magic with this crew here and there. Who knew.
