I think he's salvageable... he's basically a possession-neutral player under some pretty tough usage this past season, and that ain't bad... I'd think long and hard about trading a number of lesser pieces for him (like Toronto gave up for Phaneuf), but none of my A+ assets.

I don't think Buffalo is at that point with him yet.

Komarov kills penalties too. I like he is younger and has a nice edge to his game and skill. But i wouldn't be made if Fiddler was the guy. I like both guys kill penalties so giroux doesn't have too. I just want a fourth line that can create havoc and play more then 5 minutes a game and still create some chances.

Komarov/Fiddler - Laughton - Raffl >>>> Rinaldo/Rosehill - Laughton - Hall.

I'd love Komarov... he's like Danny Markov as a winger... plus he's Estonian... that's just cool.

Sorry, think the way I wrote it was confusing... was talking similarity of situation, not similarity as players.

No prob, I just think Myers would be a great addition and BSchenn would be worth it. Luke Schenn did look better in his own end in the playoffs and it doesn't look like we are going to get a " Weber" ....so Myers would be a great start to add to our core

It would be funny to see Myers paired with Morin one day, just to have the "twin towers" of hockey

What about Radim Vrbrata on a one or two yer deal. He could be a nice winger on top two lines.

I liked him whenever I saw him do a thing that was good for the Flyers or bad for a team that i didn't like. Being as I don't like 29 NHL teams, I don't think I like him much unless he's horrible, in which case I don't want him on the Flyers.

Correct. He can skate and has a good mix and skill. I think he can play on the 4th and 3rd lines. He plays with an edge but has skill and is a very good skater.

I did but I thought about him before. I though he would have been signed by Phoenix already.

If Morin can be the player they think he can, then it would be a great to have that size on the blue line that can actually play!

I just don't want to go into next season with what we have. I definitely do not want Timmo at anything more than 3 million.
He could be useful playing 2nd or 3rd pairing minutes.
Come on Hexy get another QUALITY top 4!

we had the twin towers of centers with lindros and primeau. for about 5 minutes. the real twin towers came down. maybe twin towers aren't a good thing to have.

Why would he take a one or two year deal anywhere? Be realistic.
