The one I try to envision is how the team would look with Weber on D.
- Hextall271

Not on that contract and the cost of all those picks... as good a player as Weber is, getting him through those means would have killed them down the road.

Think about this current roster plus Carter/Richards and minus G, Jake, Simmonds, b Schenn and Couts

Cory Conacher on waivers. His game has fallen off a cliff since being traded for Ben Bishop

I think about that sometimes. Can you imagine what things would be like had they taken Sanguinetti and then another team like Buffalo or NJ took Giroux?




Wow......

Just another Holmgren screw up.

To say Tampa cashed in on him at the perfect time is an understatement

As a Bolt, he was averaging almost 0.7 PPG.

Since he got traded, he's averaged 0.3 PPG

Giroux and Coburn are the only players left from a Stanley Cup run a little more than four years ago.

That's kind of what my worry was. The best case scenario would have been working out a trade. You can't argue though that it would have been much easier to fill out the roster of forwards than to get that true #1 Dman. They're worth their weight in gold.

What about Powe?

He's a Phantom. No Flyers contract, no roster spot.

I think, with Jimmy Rollins gone, that Braydon Coburn is one of, if not, THE longest tenured athlete in Philadelphia right now. I think Todd Herremans of the Eagles is also up there.

Is there any way to get a full box score on TSN.ca? I can get "STATS" but that doesn't show penalties. That site is so (frank)ed up now. Not sure why they had to change it.

But lack the pure goal scorer/sniper

Correct me if im wrong but doesnt Simmonds have more goals than Carter over the last 2-3 years?

You didn't specify NHL. He's still with the organization.

No question about it. Would've loved to have seen Weber in a Flyers uniform.

Thats ridiculous. Too big of an overhaul....

Utley broke in with the Phillies in 2003. I think Howard was 2004.

I agree, it suck now. Box scores can be downloaded at NHL.com or on the team's web site.

If they remain patient, they could end up with that #1 guy and a roster full of young, productive forwards, all from within.



Trying to rush the process creates the either/or proposition.

- jmatchett383

Yeah, it's probably Utley and Howard.

But Coburn's not far off.

Technically Timonen is still on the team.

The package that Nashville reportedly wanted was something like:

Couturier + Schenn + Voracek + 2 1sts

Something along those lines. I know those 3 players were involved, may have been 1 1st and some other player/prospect.[/img]

I always thought he was a product of Tampas system and players surrounding him. I have the same feeling about Johnson too.
