why trade for his rights when you can just sign him a few days later
carle is not the type of player you give 2 poops about trying to sign beforehand

Someone will pay for Carle's rights.

So what makes you believe that Carle is going to resign here? You think he is going to take a lowball offer? Your chances are almost equal to Suter at this point. You have a casino?

I speak for all of us when I say, I WANT THE (frank)ING CUP NOW!!!!!!!!!!! However, the reality is we are a young team. We weren't supposed to have played as well as we have. The Flyers always take February off. Every year. They will play better come March. I don't want to see anything where we lose too much of this talent. Our picks can go bye for some players who can help. We are set with young players for offense, defense and goalie. I like what Homer has done. I think we will be fine in the playoffs with 2 solid additions and the right MATCH UPS. That's what matters. The match ups.

I guess your right the Flyers should just resign Carle and forget about going after Suter. Dont understand why that hasnt been done yet though.

Thats kind of my point...why settle for Carle without going after Suter first. Its a risk you have to be willing to take.

Who says you have to overpay Carle to resign him? What extra Cap room? Who are you using to trade for that young defenseman you speak of? And yes, I'm going to let a player in his prime go so I can resign 40 year old Jagr. Good plan!

Who says you have to overpay Carle to resign him? I have been saying IF you have to overpay he is replaceable.

What extra Cap room? The cap room you would save by not signing Carle to any deal over 5.25 million.\

Who are you using to trade for that young defenseman you speak of? Draft picks, Depth youth... You cant trade almost anyone...

And yes, I'm going to let a player in his prime go so I can resign 40 year old Jagr. Good plan Like I said... I would rather resign Voracek and Jagr IF Carle is going to be overpaid. So yes I would rather have CAP room and trade for someone, and resign players then to OVERPAY for Carle.

Tool.

2 years ago if we had played pens or caps we would have lost most likely. If we play say ottawa and pens or nj i think we are in the ECF. It's all about match ups and who's hot. We just don't want home ice advantage.

Reverse? Depends which way you look at it I guess.
