So...I was thinking that I would throw out a topic worth talking about because nobody is going to be right or wrong about the Weber/Suter situation until it breaks. I would also rather avoid talking about Jody Shelley or Ilya Bryzgalov, so here it is...

With Jagr returning tonight, that means Schenn is off that top line with Giroux. Where does he go?

I am hoping he plays with Voracek

I agree, that's a no go. Kulemin scored 30 goals last season. JvR only has the potential as it stands.
- Schenn2shine

That was complete sarcasm.

Shelley to me isn't that big a deal. There is no reason to beat that to death...or to dust.

Who needs a reason?

Might as well eh? We can send over Jody Shelley so it looks like we are the ones getting ripped off

I think if you switch the bold you have heck of a 3rd line checking line that has good offense as well.

I think you have to go with what's worked and Couturier centering Simmonds and Read has done that before the All-Star break.

Ek says don't be surprised if the Flyers go for a big name forward at the trade deadline. What the (frank) is he smoking? E

Totally forgot about YO-EL. I must've missed when he was on the ice with Messier and his 3 hot Swedish wives during the alumni game.

I'd rather keep Coots Read Simmonds on the same line, they have been on a roll prior to the break

Child's play. We've traded JVR for Schenn and Kulemin.

We need big time forwards. Not defencemen according to Ek

An actual decent read by Timmy P today. It would be pretty amazing if Giroux could get the Art Ross.

I understand that. Their offense isnt bad.. they just lack a star forward. They have 10 players with atleast 20 points. The Flyers have 11, Detroit and Boston both have 10, Chicago has 8 and the Rangers have 7.

My point is only that for all the people who say their offense isnt good.. I dont think thats the case.

- jak521



It's not. They have 8 forwards in double figures in goals. They are the 12th ranked offensive team in the League. They have a lot of depth. They need a top point producing #1 Center.
