I wouldn't say Giroux is a lock yet, but I would say he's damn close. Timonen is a lock though.

Edirt: I think a lot of it has to do with longevity. We all probably thought Richards was a lock.

- PhillySportsGuy


Richards would have been, if he was still here, but yeah, I hear what you are saying. Heck if they win the cup in '10 Richards, Pronger and Briere would all be locks.

Unless he completely falls apart or is traded in the next year or 2, I can't see Giroux not getting in.

Yeah. I edited my post above. I agree.

Didn't Beane just trade their # 3 hitter for a 2 month rental? If the A's don't win the World Series, he's going to look stupid. They aren't re-signing Lester.
- PLindbergh31


Josh Donaldson is their #3 hitter. Despedes has a WAR of 1.9 this year. His OPS is under 800. A's have multiple players with an OPS over 800.

Recchi's numbers as a Flyer:
Games: 602
Goals: 232
Assists: 395
Points: 627

Pretty sure that averaging over a point per game coupled with having played 600+ games will get him in the Flyers HOF

Also Cespedes is a butcher in the OF, with a noodle arm.
When Lester re-signs with the Red Sox after the season Beane will look like a court jester.

Well take a look at the guys from the cup teams that are in. All I'm saying is that if they win a cup, and Coburn is playing on the top pair, and has been here for nearly a decade, he will likely end up in the Flyers HOF

Great player.....complete scumbag...doesnt deserve to be in the Flyers Hall. It stems from the Bill Barber Mutiny....I ve seen MOAT explain the situation before and he has a great handle on it, BO does as well. Hopefully, he has his rift saved and can copy and paste it

I like Recchi but the ease in which players make it into the HOF is pretty weak.

So youre saying he gets in on a technicality more than he would for his actual skill. Cause his performance does not justify HOF. AT ALLL

New Topic: Which current Flyers end up in the Flyers H of F

I'd say:
Locks: Giroux, Timonen
If they win a cup while he's still here: Coburn

if they play here long enough: Couturier, Voracek

On the bubble: Simmonds

Also if he stays here for a few years and they win a cup with him: Mason

thoughts?

Somewhat, though I think people underrate Coburn. He plays the hardest minutes of any Flyers dman each and every game. He gets a lot of heat around here, but take him off the team and they would be worse, a lot worse IMO.
