Flyers will have the same lineup as Tues., except MacDonald is out and L. Schenn in. Berube said it's a matter of size/physicality.

$30 million for a guy we need to sit and protect against the big bad capitals.

Edit: I thought about this more and HELL YES!

if we're that worried about physicality then bring up jay rosehill

Because it's totally Berube's fault that he is expected to polish those turds that Holmgren collected for him on the blueline.

and you know this because?

If you're Montreal/Phoenix/Minnesota/St. Louis/LA/Nashville, are you trading Subban/OEL/Suter/Pietrangelo/Doughty/Weber for a 5-10 overall draft pick, a player with 0 games of pro experience?

oh c'mon its business... those bumholes dangled him out there for over a year... were they really that shocked?!
- JoeRussomanno

I dunno... these guys seem to take it pretty personally. Pleau was pissed enough at Gillis for going after Backes to OS Bernier in retaliation. And who can forget Burkie challenging Lowe to that fight in a barn over Penner?

Rosehill > Van de Velde

That's quite truculent of him.

so we have Hagg and Morin as bust already. Check.

Can't wait til people want them traded then whine when they are traded

burkie is a dope for fighting over penner ... geezus... didnt poile's old man usedto work here? snider could/should be able to shmoose it over, starting with homer's complete banishment from all things flyerdom

so we have Hagg and Morin as bust already. Check.

dont have labled as busts but have them labled as trade bait to get help before giroux and voracek are eligible for 35+ clauses

Okay, which proven elite mid-20's defenseman are we trading our unknown quantity for?

Absolutely pathetic. Berube should just have Schenn and MacDonald play rock, paper, scissors after pre-game warmups to determine who is going to be in the lineup.

If Reuben Amaro were given two get out of jail free cards he at least could wipe the slate clean dumping Howard and Papelbon.

But he can't compare to the almighty Holmgren. This guy is some kind of Wizard freezing our roster over a copious amount of time.

Don't forget that Ghost is injury prone, Stolarz is a cheapshot artist, and Sanheim makes turnovers from time to time (i.e. defensive liability).

i dont know

Figured.

Are we above hiring hitmen to Nancy Kerrigan those two?

Figured.

obvioudly it wouldnt be exclusively our first rounder going the other way

Sure seemed like Poile and Clarke/Homer had a really productive trade partnership going on for awhile... but I wouldn't be surprised to see that go cold for a long while.

Like the Flyers and Canucks used to be pretty regular trade partners, but after the Kesler OS, zilch. Maybe that's coincidence... maybe not.

It's what you said. And you implied that it could be done ("and you know this because?")
