Pruster!

The Twin Towers of suck!

At least Clarke brought that Ellison stud aboard.

the flyers could use a player like Bob Clarke

...and Gratton with Lindros. That was a disaster.
- mayorofangrytown

Remember when they thought they could just move Brindy to LW when they traded for Gratton, then eventually moved Brindy back into the middle and Gratton to LW (where he sucked)... and Gratton wasn't good enough defensively to play 3rd-line C... man, they really learned nothing from that.

Well, as long we're wishing, we could really use a Mark Howe and Eric Desjardins as well

Yeah if history is going to repeat itself, why can't the Flyers repeat 72-76?

Would never take anything away from Clarke as a player. Not old enough to have seen him in his prime, but he was as fierce a competitor as there was.

As a front office guy..... Yikes.

Clarke, Lindros and Hexy are my favorite players

With Laviolette in the fold, do you think the following would fill some Nashville needs?

Couturier, Hartnell and Lecavelier for Seth Jones and 2014 2nd, 2015 2nd?

I would also explore Coburn's trade value again if we can keep Kimmo at under $4M. He may be able to restock the cupboard with a body and a pick or 2 picks, possibly someone's 2015 1st. I think that we have made our bed with Streit's and Mac's contracts. Having off-season surgery will put us in a weak position regarding Grossman's trade value. I think Schenn is a keeper (both Schenn's - Brayden needs to be challenged to step up to the next level during his contract negotiations).

Sign a fast, large forward to skate with Giroux. If you keep Jake on that line, I wouldn't care if he had Roberto Duran's hands. The purpose would be to create space on the ice, score from 3 feet out and not take stupid offensive zone penalties. I would explore the more interesting UFA's like Moulson, though.

Couturier is great and all, but I'd rather have a shot at a perennial Norris candidate over someone who most likely will peak at a Handzus level and that is not a knock on Handzus or Couturier. If Laughton can step in at 75%-80% of Couturier's defensive abilities, I'd be happy.

2014-15 pairs:
Kimmo/Jones
Mac/Grossman
Streit/Schenn

2015-16 pairs:
Ghost/Jones
Mac/Schenn
Streit/Morin

Just for clarification, you are offering Vinny, Hartnell, and Coots for Jones and 2 seconds?

Wtf is this poop

Well, as long we're wishing, we could really use a Mark Howe and Eric Desjardins as well

and for bonus points

Now that's a vomit inducing lineup!!
- BiggE

Gotta take Bergen off of that list. A back injury and Mike Keenan killed that kid. Besides, of the 3 draft picks you put on there he was hardly a bad pick. Actually they've made a 100+ picks worse than Boivin, Bergen and Butsayev.

And no Jiri Dopita... I'm shocked.

He was no Russ Farwell that's for sure.

some strange choices, and i think some others are more worthy. kurtis foster? all-time? really? i

Remember when the Flyes acually had Russins on the team.

Malhakov
Markov
Zelepukin
Zhamnov

And no Jiri Dopita... I'm shocked.
- Tomahawk

He also left off Sean Burke, Billy Tibbetts, Pat Falloon and Keith Primeau.

If we are actually talking serious trades...


How about this..

PHI:Brayden Schenn, Luke Schenn
WPG: Evander Kane, Bogosian
- jak521

i would do it .... dont think the peg would...worth a try

And no Jiri Dopita... I'm shocked.

Give me a break, I've spent years trying to forget Dopita!

You can replace Bergen with him, not a prob!

- PhillaBully

We may be crazy up here, but not that crazy.

Luke Schenn is essentially a bottom pairing d-man on a team out the first round.

Geez, I had a few minutes to kill at work. Didn't think anyone would really take it that seriously

Sorry, but I've hypnotized myself to believe that Tibbetts never happened.
