I'd actually consider that. Can't see Lecavalier waiving to go to Columbus, or Columbus taking on 4 years of Vinny at $4.5mm, when they can just use a compliance buyout on Umberger and let him walk with zero cap implications.

I think CBJ is going to buy him out.

Well, yeah it does, since that's what the Flyers got in the trade. If they keep Richards they don't get Schenn or Simmonds.

I would if I was them. I can't see him drawing a ton of interstest.

He's played well. The trouble there is, last year in the Worlds, Erik Gustafsson was fantastic for Sweden.

Schenn to the KHL is coming

We should have never traded Richards or Carter. Flyers would be still playing right now
- Streit2ThePoint


and jvr and bob and gagne and williams and sharp and forsberg and....

would they be they still be playing now? who the hell knows. probably not. it's been 39 years, why would THIS year be any different.

If they could trade Vinny for him, I'd do it in a heartbeat...just can't see Columbus having any desire in Lecavalier.

You could look at a Hartnell /Umberger swap.

That doesn't solve anything for the Flyers, except losing a few years of contract.

he only has 1 year left and his point production until the past season and a half was about that same as hartnell's. 25 goals 50 points. harntell's had 2 60+ point seasons, 2009 and 2012 - both when he hit the 30 goals mark. he's more of a 40+ point guy on average.

he's more versatile than hartnell and doesn't fall on his ass every 30 seconds and doesn't take nearly as many penalties. they're the same age. wouldn't be a terrible stopgap and they'd get out of hartnell's contract. he might be willing to go there because they're becoming a legit team. have a solid gm, and president, and good group of players.

i'd honestly consider it.

he's apparently requested a trade, and they've apparently agreed.

exactly, and as i said just a minute ago - point production is roughly the same with far fewer penalty minutes. same age. same height. almost same weight. i'd do it.
