Yeah, but 27 or 28 year old defenseman is not a horrible risk with a longer deal.

No it's not. Definitely worth the slight gamble.

True. At this point I'm not even convinced there will be a season next year.
- PLindbergh31

We don't even know if they'll have a free agency with no new CBA at this point in time.

Some things might be on hold on July 1 and even before for some extensions.

Then I walk away from the sport...

Golden Domer. Not your typical thug from the U.

And their all time sack leader.

I'm one of those who wouldn't mind Luke Schenn or Jack Johnson, for the right cost

Just being aware enough to do that is pretty cool.
- Jsaquella

No question about it.

All this hype with Jeremy Lin of the Knicks. I don't watch the NBA, but it peaked my curiosity. I'm guessing the nickname of the Yellow Mamba, won't catch on.

Ill take both if possible.

That's just being greedy.

I think JJ would help the PP, not sure how he would help the struggles in the d zone. He generally needs a compass to find his own end.

Schenn has promise, not sure the Flyers can get him without overpaying.

That's just being greedy.
- ob18

Yes it is. Im shooting for the stars.

Yup. Tuck is a monster. As is JPP.

I dont think JJ is as bad defensively as people think. People throw out his minus number but alot of that has to do with 5 on 5 and playing against other teams top lines. If his line isnt scoring then obviously his +/- is going to look bad.

Then do that when playing for the lottery. The odds are probably similar.

Did you hear that garbage Trent Cole was spitting out in the paper. They were inches from being the Giants. Are you friggin kidding me?

JPP was very raw in college, he's come along very fast and nicely.

If I hit the powerball lottery, I could carless about who the Flyers get. Ill be living the life and enjoying myself.

could you imagine g setting up nash for the next 7 years omg that would be nasty hes never got to play with a real playmaking center

+/- doesn't tell the entire story, but his is dreadful. Granted the Kings struggle to score, but Quick is a stud. I haven't seen a ton of JJ. No doubt obviously he would be an upgrade to MAB, and Gus. Perhaps he would even be better than Coburn or Meszy.

I'm not saying Johnson's great in his own end, but He does play a ton of minutes for a pretty stingy Kings team. If Johnson was the target, I wouldn't stop there, I'd try for a Boychuk type guy to play with him, physical, solid defense first guy.

Then again shoot for the stars with the lottery, it would be better for your health.

Thats who I wanted this offseason.

JPP was very raw in college, he's come along very fast and nicely.
- ob18

I was a little concerned when they drafted him so high. I knew his athleticism was off the charts, but was concerned with the fact he picked up football later than most guys.

Maybe. Money makes people do crazy things, so I hear. I never had money so I wouldnt really know.

The Eagles got Brandon Graham....he's played fewer plays than JPP has had sacks
