This Nash thing has to many legs.

its a smoke screen to get sather to overpay. The Flyers have to trade big money to get Nash under the cap. Who would that be? They aren't trading 8 players to get him.

Why would Homer have 2 separate meetings to smoke screen?

any good coaches out there unemployed?

if homer traded for Nash w/o getting a goalie alternative, I'd want him fired. nothing would make any sense, there would be no semblance of an organizational plan...just flailing in the wind.

Who are they going to move? Put a realistic trade together and I'll believe it then. The #'s don't add up.

It would have to be a 3 team trade b/c if it's Mason I will vomit. they'll be putting Homer in a dunk tank of concrete @ the carnival.

You could trade JVR and Voracek and Carle/Coburn

And then you've basically negated the Grossman and Kubina trdes.

Then during the off-season you can sign Suter

That deal puts Flyers over the Cap.

Well honestly if Homer had 2 meetings with Columbus, hes got a plan to get under the cap.

and the lilja move for that matter....hot dogs and soda add up.

from what I've read, it's CLB pushing the issue, not homer...

He can't without creating other holes in the lineup. Carle doesn't have a ton of trade value as a FA. He might get picks but he's not gonna get a big name player back.

I hope it doesn't happen, but if Eskin says the Flyers really want Nash, and Columbus is pushing Nash on the Flyers. It sounds like a couple.

It would have to be a 3 team trade b/c if it's Mason I will vomit. they'll be putting Homer in a dunk tank of concrete @ the carnival.
- flyguy12

I posted last note that I could envision a scenario where LA and CLB get together w/ us involving players like Nash, Bernier, jj, JVR, bob, carle, et al. that's about it.

Only thing that leaves me confused is Nash's list of teams. Why is Columbus pushing a deal with Philly if Nash doesnt have them listed as a team he would play for?

and the lilja move for that matter....hot dogs and soda add up.
- isaiah520

Lilja's fine as the 7th defenseman. He's better served there than Gus or MAB.

Right, it's hard to get the price up on a player when there's only one team in the negotiations. If Howson can get Sather to think Toronto and Philly are involved all of a sudden Sather needs to pay more to keep Nash out of a rival's lineup. I still think it's not a big bluff b/c goal scoring isn't what ails the Flyers.

@John_Ranieri know what flyers need but I was told from within organization they like nash. Picked up 2 D men in last couple days.

He can't without creating other holes in the lineup. Carle doesn't have a ton of trade value as a FA. He might get picks but he's not gonna get a big name player back.
- flyguy12

actually, carle would be the best dman traded yet if it happened so he could get a significant return...but only to a contender. CHI would prob pay handsomely at this point for example. then homer could use that pick(s) as part of another trade. I know this is a far out scenario.

LA needs to shake it up. Shut out again last night. Maybe they will petition to move to the East so they can play the Flyers more.

as of right now, anything is possible

He's a pending UFA, what team is gonna give up a stud player for him?

Carle offers much more to the Flyers in their lineup then him being dealt.
