Sweeney butchered the Hamilton trade, but in my eyes, got a ridiculous return for Lucic. Overrated, overpaid player 1 year from FA and he got what's turned out to be 2 1sts and 2 good prospects. What he did/does with those draft picks is another story, but that's a great return. Now, the Rinaldo trade...

any word on vinny or gagner?

Yep. Now maybe that's just me

I wouldn't have blinked

I would not have hesitated one damn second
- AllInForFlyers

Me either.

can't believe anybody gave up anything for rinaldo! that's funny ... what the heck is going on in boston?!

When Hextall terminates Vinny tomorrow and trades Macdonald in a package for
kessel

Not being bought out.

Wow... and for two years people have been mad at me for saying we should have taken him in the draft instead of Couturier.
- mayorofangrytown

Easy to say after the fact.

At the time of that draft Couturier was talked about as the possible top pick and then got mono.

Move forward some years and pronger injured and defense in flux it's easy to say we should have taken him.

I didn't mind them taking Couturier, because of his size and pedigree, though like everyone, I was curious about Hamilton. So I can't crush anybody for that

But I'm just one of those people who believes that you don't pay everybody

But you do pay the RIGHT people. You pay for them and worry about the rest of that poop later

Wow... and for two years people have been mad at me for saying we should have taken him in the draft instead of Couturier.

That said... I'm not trading Laughton, Sanheim and Provorov for Dougie Hamilton. I think you're getting a bit excited about Hamilton.
- mayorofangrytown

haven't you figured out by now: what the flyers do is always right, and the moves they didnt make were foolhardy at best.

Hextall can't terminate Lecavalier tomorrow.

for the record: id rather avoid kessel.

Hextall can't terminate Lecavalier tomorrow.

What about Semin on a Brad Richards type deal. 1 year @ 1 mil.
- J35Bacher

If you could swing it.. However still has a lot of talent, just a knucklehead. Wonder if some team will over pay him based on his ability

Bruins got 15th overall and two second rounders.


7, Laughton and 61.

That's about what Boston got from Calgary
- J35Bacher

Laughton was a first round pick.

Easy to say after the fact.

At the time of that draft Couturier was talked about as the possible top pick and then got mono.

- J35Bacher

I said it at the time. Been belaboring it with a Bruins friend of mine for years. I guess I can let that go now.

If you don't want to believe me that's fine. No need to call me a liar.

Hextall can't terminate Lecavalier tomorrow.

Flyers would offer
MacDonald
1st 2016
Prospect Scott Laughton
Matt Read

- AllInForFlyers

Agreed. I wasn't freaking out over the pick. I just liked Hamilton and we already had young forwards at the time.

Laughton was a first round pick.
- MJL

So 7, Abul-Kubel and 61 then

for the record: id rather avoid kessel.
- JoeRussomanno

15 years ago I'm for bringing him on board. Today... I like him more than most (and everyone in Toronto) but no thanks.

Yep. Now maybe that's just me

I wouldn't have blinked

I would not have hesitated one damn second
- AllInForFlyers

I agree. I then would've trade Del Zotto.

I agree. I then would've trade Del Zotto.
- MJL

Exactly -- because you could turn right around and recoup some of what you've lost by massaging your roster

I'll stop harping on it, I promise

He's just 22 years old. It's just crazy, what Calgary paid

for the record: id rather avoid kessel.
- JoeRussomanno

I think he's a good fit if we don't already have Voracek or heavy on the right side. I'd consider Phanuef before Kessel.
