Snow really should be unemployed sooner rather than later.

well see. It depends on what he gets for Vanek and what Buff gets for Moulson really.

With the rejected Isles offer and the general understanding that he may very well head to the Wild as a UFA I think the Isles are really struggling to recoup the value they gave up for him.

he's the guy I not so secretly anymore hope ends up in O&B. I think with Roo we stand a great chance to resign him

I don't understand the Rundblad love... He's shown absolutely nothing in the NHL to get this type of hype. Already gonna be on what, his 3rd team?

Just wait a couple of more years and you'll have the L handed version of him in Gostisbehere without having to give up picks.

Although i hope, he produces more than this guy.

You don't understand the hype of low risk/high reward then actually mention Gostisbehere....who hasn't even scratched his balls outside the NCAA? Just wait AT LEAST 5 years then you may see Ghost and his L handed version possibly battling for a spot like Gus, if he is lucky. Keep in mind the type of player he could be, St. Louis got Tarensenko, Ottawa got Turris and they had Karlsson and Phoenix (yes you may think they are a sucky team, but their defensive depth makes the Flyers look pathetic). Is he a guaranteed star? No, but he has good size, skating ability and passing...something a team specifically needs badly. Does he need to getter better in his own end, yes, but the same can be said about EVERY single current Flyer defenseman. These are the moves the Flyers need to make. I'm curious to see if plays much on the deep Chicago team this year.

Numbers? Did you actually just look at stat lines of both players and compare with that?

One's a 1st round pick, who's already on his 3rd franchise and can't crack the NHL while the other is an undrafted player who's put up better numbers than him at both the AHL and NHL level.

Okay true, they have nothing in common

Oh btw...the funniest thing about your comments was the comparison I made was Ghost and Gus. Good reading

Says the guy female doging and moaning about this team not giving up a 2nd rounder for a guy who's as soft as they come and hasn't shown a single shred of the qualities he was drafted so high for and two teams have already kicked to the curve.

Paul Holmgren has told other NHL GMs tonight that he has no deal for Ryan Kesler and isn't likely to be making one.


I'll show myself out.

YOU'RE RIGHT! Good thing some stupid defending stanley cup championship team didn't trade for his softness, not that any Flyer fans would understand that logic.

C'mon think, use that little head of yours.

Yes because he'll be such an integral part of their team playing for the Rockford Icehogs!

Who knows, maybe their Defense will start falling apart at some point and he'll get in.

BTW please try to be a little more coherent, it's curb not curve.

Rundblad 1st Round #17
Karlsson 1st Round #15
Morin 1st Round #11

Does that mean Morin HAS to be an elite defenseman to be worth that pick?

Psst Rundblad is 23...remember that whole be patient thing the Flyers are doing with their defenseman?
