yes but it seems as though he is a locker room cancer a ME first type of guy. Team chemistry may be overrated to some and underrated to others but it's something i believe in...
Radulov is not a guy i would take a chance on...

+1

goes hand and hand with his age/ wear and tear.

as for the course of his career he hasn't even played in the playoffs since 2007 while playing in a horribly weak division for Florida.
- JoeRussomanno

On a horrible team as well.

He has him on the fifth line playing between Sestito and that Pressbox guy from the Phantoms
- JoeRussomanno

Not a bad idea. Revolutionize the game, 5 forward lines, 1 1/2 d-lines, and give the pressbox guy some extra work.

On a horrible team as well.

Bryzgalov was on one and got them into the playoffs more than once.

Wideman is definitely not a top pair guy but he'll problem be the most highly pursued UFA defenseman after Suter. He'll want and get more money than the Flyers should spend.
- NickTheKid87

Flyers are desperate for a RH shot and he cost nothing to get other than money. I think the Flyers make a serious run at Wideman. He also can help on the PP.

Darren Dreger is reporting that Simon Gagne WILL PLAY tonight for the Kings.

Stop it. Phoenix was a much better team than Florida was in those years.

I guess that great run with Washington this year proved me wrong.

basing your opinion on a half a season doesn't seem like a good strategy to me

I dont know. He didn't seem to have any problems playing in Quebec. The Flyers might have the right stuff to get him on the right track, including some mature European guys like Timonen, Jagr, Bryz, Grossmann, Ect.. I think maybe Zherdev was a little outted by the Canadian leadership of the past... but who can say.

on the verge of going up 3 to nothing...this will cement himself in having his name on the cup...
i don't think he will make an impact...been out too long

It depends on the price. If all you have to give up is like Nick Cousins and a conditional pick if he signs, I would do it in a heart beat. Worst that happens is he is another Zherdev and you stick him in the press box. Best that happens is with Giroux centering him he becomes a 50 goal scorer....
- RooNosHockey

I worry more about distractions and locker room issues. The guy was suspended from his team during a playoff game.. he split on the preds to go to russia. Not sure his character is all that good.

On top of it, a lot of ppl are saying great things about Cousins.. He has the innate ability to drive ppl nuts and yet still can play hockey. I heard Darcy Tucker and Brad Marchand as comparisons

it will be interesting to say the least...
the Flyers do not have a great track record with Russian players. maybe it's changing...

First game since 12/26/11. All he has to do is dress and his name will go onto the Cup if LA wins. I would love to see him hoist it.

If I wasnt rooting for LA before, I am now. Gagne-Richards-Carter oh my. Makes me want to cry and cheer at the same time.

I'd take Morrow and Fistric any day.... born Flyers. Even if Morrow only has it in him to be an elite 3rd-line player, the Flyers could still use him in the context of the current lineup. Fistric would be an upgrade over Lilja at the very least -- he and Meszaros would make a pretty fearsome 3rd-pair, stepping up and taking guys out.

Burish, there's some history there, but he's cut from the same cloth as Lappy and Talbot. Can't ever have too many of those.

I was in different to who won but if Gags plays I'm all for the Kings.

meh...
as posted on Twitter...i'm leaning on the Kings to win just hate the Devils more...

plus, beyond the Carter goal, they are just role players...

Quick, Doughty and Kopitar are leading this team.

I will be happy for Hexy

It won't have the same meaning for Carter, Richards and Gagne to win the Cup as Kings rather than Flyers. They were the heart and soul when they played here. Not in LA though.

I would welcome Morrow with open arms..

Imagine Morrow with Briere and Simmonds!

Could you imagine if Homer could get Zuccerallo and Radulov by just giving up some late round picks, and them signing here. A future top 6 guy in Zucc and a top line guy in Rad... It would open them up to trade some big name forwards to land a few good defenseman... mmmm silly season.. mmmmmm

your onto something with this post...but i slightly disagree

it will be bittersweet for Gagne, but not Carter and Richards. They will bask in the glory...

Isn't Zuccerello heading back to Elitserin or the KHL or something?

- Jimmygrazz

just going by the 09-10 season Floridan had three guys break the 20 goal mark, Phoenix had 1 Vrbata at 24.
If you want to counter with Florida had a bad defense or something of that nature then I'll have you know Flordia had a d-corp consisting of McCabe, Allen, Seidenberg and Leopold. Not too shabby.
