If Flyers move Grossmann, I would like someone a little bigger and more physical than Oduya with comparable mobility. Otherwise, the Flyers D core mix becomes like Dallas' this past season.

I was watching NHL live earlier tonight, and they mentioned in passing that Volchenkov might be on his way out in Jersey. I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank at this point, and of course he's a left handed shot. He does have size and grit, though.

lebowski fest sounds fun as poop

first time i watched hated/couldn't finish... watched again recentlybecause it's usually on the coens list of people who like the same ones i like... i liked it waaay better the second time


disliked miller's crossing but i find that genre very annoying so i shouldn't judge

oh brother can shrivel in the can

LebowskiFest is hilarious. The costumes are great fun and the people watching is almost as good as the movie. When it involves bowling the people watching moves from fun to insanity.

Saw a woman dressed as a bowling pin throw a strike, then try the Jesus dance. I spilled my drink and was howling

Poile on nhl live today saying he's very open to trading his #11 pick or players for top 6 offense help. Talked of how deep his team is in goal and d. Said he planted seed at gm meetings. They're making moves for sure. Deal can be mAdebfor a dman

I had that argument with my fiancé too. It was a fun car ride home!

Also, The Big Lebowski is the most polarizing movie ever. My friends raved about it, so I felt I had to see it and I hated it.

- PhillySportsGuy


Christian Bale was excellent in that movie and the lead hit a HR on the main character from what I'm told.

Bill,

Do you think the Flyers should trade Nicolas Grossmann?

- SuperSchennBros


Not just for the sake of trading him. Give me a viable replacement - JS suggested Fayne, which makes some sense - that fits the mix Hextall has gone on record for saying he wants. If Grossmann goes, the Flyers will need another D man with some size and muscle. Another smallish puck mover ala Gustafsson isn't what they want.

Can't give up both of them in the deal. Both centers.

I do everyday of the weak if it's for Josi. Losing that depth will suck, but he's the kind of player weve been looking for.

Well there you have it.

I also wouldn't dump Grossmann for the sake of dumping him. I think his contract is fair, we'd need back what he already brings, except we wish he were better with the puck and more mobile. What it comes down to for me, we cannot move Grossmann without getting Grossmann or better then Grossmann in return. We cannot move Coburn without getting a Coburn back or better because Coburn is too valuable to the Flyers. Am I sensing a pattern?

Because you need depth at Center also. That weakens the team too much at one position. You're losing two of your best young forwards. I love Josi, but one or the other in the deal. Not both.

Mark Fayne would be a good replacement for Grossmann. not as physical, but better with puck and good mobility for his size.
