Starbucks serves coffee? And here I thought all they sold were those chocolate milkshake things.

I like ice coffee sometimes, but I stick to hot coffee from Starbucks. My fav is seasonal. The Pumpkin Late and the Carmel Brulee Late.

I have 7.8 million reasons why.

So what? Rick Nash or a 40 year old and a underachieving injury prone forward.....the numbers almost match.... Nash is worth the $.

Didnt you get the memo. Homer is in Nashville talking trades for Weber as long as that bum JVR gets his butt under the "kriffing" knife.

I disagree, I think JVR will be as good as Nash in a few years and at a much less price. I have little to say about Jagr as I could go ether way.

First off you're forgetting that the Flyers are locked into a deal for another 5-6 years at that hit. Whereas with Jagr its a year to year scenario. Second JVR has only had one injury riddled season, that's hardly injury prone. Furthermore his potential is to be as good as Nash. It has only been mentioned ad nauseaum that he was on pace for well over 30 goals in November before the injury bug bit him.

You guys want to get Nash go ahead but when we don't have money to keep the youth and fix the real problems in the lineup don't say you weren't warned.

I rather hold onto JvR for a bigger player named Weber.

it's more doable than Nash however I'd rather pass on him too.

Still have option to keep JvR and look for another defenseman no need to panic.

Man I wish that was true.....but JVR has shown nothing beyond a solid playoffs last year that would have me agree.....

it's unlikely, but if the Flyers could add Parise and Suter, while only subtracting JVR, Carle, and one year of Jagr, it's a no brainer.

in terms of talent yes, but it is still a lot of salary to absorb.

Yeah, I know. Would be a coup for the Flyers to pull something like that off. Also getting a boatload of picks for JVR could set the Flyers up nicely as well.

Yes it is, but you are getting premium players in their prime.

hopefull the Flyers front office realizes they don't need to panic, just get a defensemen or be patient until another one becomes available. It's not like they can't compete with what they have now. Every year players become available for whatever reason.

If they deal him at the draft for picks, you know Homer is going shopping on July 1st

the grass is always greener... I just say wait, Suter isn't by any means the best defenseman in the league just the best available right now. Samething with Parise.
