I'm enjoying it, quite a lot actually.

The music is there for sure, maybe a little over the top in some songs, but definitely rocking. It's the lyrics and Roth's voice that aren't doing anything for me. Just sounds a little too forced or disjointed at times.

If the price for Ryan Suter is a good roster player, an A and B prospect and a first, Weber will cost an arm, leg and a left teste
- Jsaquella

I think we should focus on getting suter via free agency. Screw a big trade right now, the timing just seems off. Get LSchenn if you can for a roster player but overturning the roster for someone right now just isn't feasible. Imagine if we could get Schenn now inexpensively and then Suter Free agency, oh mamma!

There's a few songs that seem a little disjointed, but overall, I'm happy with it. It's a solid rock album. No keyboards, no Love Odes.

Weber hasn't made Nashville a serious Cup contender. And I believe with what we would have to give up to get him, we would be more Nashville in the aftermath.

Well yes, that alone makes it a mini triumph unto itself. I'll reserve judgement until later this week.

I haven't looked but does anyone know if the Flyers are done playing the rangers on weekend afternoons? It's clearly not this team's best time to play and i know we have Detroit coming up on an afternoon

The one thing it's missing to me is the Roth Tarzan screams...But Eddie's shredding on every track, and the attitude is there.

Everyone seems to forget that simple point. Adding Weber is great, but so many holes would be created by adding him. It is not like we would be adding Weber and nothing else changes.

And in my opinion, he wouldn't be enough to offset the fire sale like return it would take.

I think a lot of people think that JvR, MAB and a 1st is all it would take.

Spent the day ice fishing.

Perhaps a good plan reading all these comments.

Definately not.

My bigger worry is building the D through the draft. Its always such a crapshoot and the Flyers wont have a top 10 pick.

To get it they will have to give up quality regardless. I know they got a stud in Giroux late.

However... I have fear in hoping for #1 d-men with late round picks. Especially with this organization.

Not saying they have to build it through the draft. They can add good defensemen through trades and free agency.

But trading what Weber would cost is just dumb right now

If the Flyers are trading JVR or any of the top young guys they better be sure they are getting a great player in return.

Jack Johnson. Is inconsistent in EFFORT and has a questionable attitude.

The team started a move this summer to move away from guys like that.

Mark Giordano might be available in the off-season. Decent fill in if the Flyers arent willing to give up the pieces for a guy like Weber.

Yeah, They can still try their hand at drafting them.

Even the deal you proposed. Lets say two firsts, JVR and Schenn. Id do it. Ive talked about that here my last few times though, dont want to bore myself.

I want nothing to do with Suter. Dont think he is the kind of D-man that is worth the money he will seek. Boychuk would be my only real FA target.

Its tiring to always post lineups but for fun.

Something tells me that Schenn turns out to be a very special player and trading him isn't a smart move.
