I'd feel pretty good.
- Streit2ThePoint


I'm not sure I would. There's certain player I just can't root for. If the Flyers ever had:

Sean Avery
Matthew Barnaby
Ulfie (who they did)
Marc Bureau (who they did)
Tie Domi
Dale Hunter
Darcy Tucker

I wouldn't (and didn't) want them to succeed.

Would Neal and Carcillo still be bumholes or will they have altered their playing style?
- PhillySportsGuy


We're assuming their players styles are not altered.

As long as guys like Kimmo, G, Simmonds, etc were still on the team, I would be very happy.

I don't think they've ever explicitly stated, but it was supposedly some slur or other abusive language towards a teammate.

But I'm sure they would also have Giroux, Simmonds, Hartnell, etc. right? Or are you talking about a complete team of dip poops?

Well, in today's world, that pretty much means he needs to be burned at the stake.

Well, answer for each way. Let's say in one scenario, they have the current lineup with a few modifications. In the other, let's assume it's Giroux with a team full of players you hate.

Important to note that he was suspended multiple times for that very same thing...

So many things wrong with today's world, but suspending a kid for being a douche should be pretty low on the list. I figure the last thing a coach would want to do is sit one of his top players, so whatever he did was apparently pretty bad.

I'm a fan of Brodeur - best goalie to ever play the game imo - so having him on the team wouldn't bother me. James Neal on the other hand would be the first Flyers player I'd be ok with having on LTIR with a concussion.

If he directed a racist remark at a black teammate, that's definitely a suspendible offense. I would say it's grounds for being removed from the team.

Includes one of the best quotes I've read in awhile:

"While his point totals were beyond impressive it is important to remember the Sarnia Sting were one of the worst teams in junior hockey. As NBA great Charles Barkley once said regarding players who have great numbers on bad teams, “they’re like looters in a riot”. This means they’re getting their points because they likely have stopped playing to win and individualism has set in. "

FWIW, Dreger says Kings do not plan to buy out Mike Richards, however they may well demand he start a better conditioning program this summer
- Jsaquella

I think this says a lot about Richards as awhole. Both with the Kings and here. We saw his development first hand. We saw him rise, we saw him on top of the world for two seasons and then saw a dramatic step back before his trade. I buy into the partying and don't blame Laviolette for trying to get our Captain to set an example by setting down.

Speaking of size, if this guy is available in the draft I would draft him. Guy gets it done!! Not big, but has serious heart.
