I enjoy BSH a lot only because you know what you're getting from them right off the bat. I find it hilarious the beat writers inflame everything concerning the work they do.

The most I would be willing to offer Kubina is a free ride to the airport. No thanks.

Spend 3 mill on a younger guy who can do something.

Kubina is a player that the Flyers should let walk.

Yeah, timonen, Lilja, and Kubina on the same defense?

Too much mileage on those legs, IMO. If we are going to sign more than just Carle or his replacement, I would like it to be a young veteran guy that can step in now and stick around for a few years. Otherwise I'd rather keep going with the rookies, before resigning Kubina.

So if they don't sign a young veteran guy....your okay with driving forward with Carle, Gusty, and MAB for next year?

First off, Randy Miller is an absolutely abysmal sports writer. He was a terrible baseball writer and almost unfathomably, he might be a worse hockey writer.

When they're not pushing an agenda, BSH is pretty good. They always link to interesting statistical columns and I usually agree with a lot of their analysis.

That being said, Detweiler is an unrelenting, pretentious douchebag sometimes. It's hard for me to imagine another person that I so often agree with and simultaneously want to punch in the face.

I think all those players are better than Kubina (at this point) and have more of an upside.

I would be. Young players have to play. And if turns out there is a need. There is always the TD. Kubina is too much of a risk of breaking down to spend 3M on him in my opinion.

That price for Kubina would be a killer. He's just not that good of a defenseman anymore. Once again that was a nice move by Stevie Y to get a nice draft choice for him.

I overvalued at 3 mil. I'd be ok if not for MAB's concussions this year. He was looking good on his 2nd callup. And of course hoping they draft D man first round.

Agree with this. I unfollowed Detweiler for his antics this week. His horse is so high it fought Whitney Houston for blow.

Bryz needs a new attitude, not a new coach. RT @ravery77: Flyers need help with Bryz. What do u think of Flyers bringing in Mike Richter?

Good guy to play the point on the PP. A little long in the tooth, but he has a good shot. As long as your not looking for any physical play out of him. And only on a one year deal.

I watch a lot of those and have so much trouble getting the characters straight. It's Unforgettable. She's really added a new dimension to the show. She's salty and smart and matter of fact but she gets the main character in a way I think none of her other friends/coworkers do. And Jane does it very well.
