I think they get a player with a NTC to waive. I have this feeling they get Kimo to waive his.

I think it might be Hartnell.

An actual rumor was posted on the blog yesterday and was promptly taken off by mods. It was from twitter. There was like 4 different tweets "tracking" this rumor. Package included Cooter, I think...it was hilarious.

Hence the reference.

Don't worry I'm not that stupid I promise!!!

I do remember some jousting about that yes, if its that silly i usually don't spend the brain cells to remember the specifics.

Didn't even know he went out for it.

Damn. It woulda been awesome to see Berube coach the Caps and see Lappy step in as our assistant!!

Oh well. I love The Chief as our assistant though.

could be but I think it might be a mistake moving him. He's nowhere near being through in his career and really gives them alot out there.

See I don't have any brain cells to distinguish between silliness and legitimacy. So everything sticks up in the ol' noodle

I never said it was unacceptable. It was just silly. I wasn't making a dig, it was all lighthearted.

I missed the "dare" thing, though. My bad!

I'm peacin this joint. Out to my brother's baseball game. What a night! "See" you guys at 9 or so

If I was to guess, it would be one of the young guys. One or more of JVR, Voracek, Schenn, Couturier. And possibly a veteran defenseman not named Timonen.

He's most likely. But for the right player in return, I could see the Flyers giving up Coburn also.

Actually you'd have to get a mod to dare you to do something.

JVR and Coburn for Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford?

Balance it out with draft picks and prospects as need be, but honestly, I do that deal straight up.

8.75 for JVR and Coburn vs. 9.5 for Myers and Stafford, less then a mill difference in combined hits, btw.

Really don't want to see him moved for anyone. We don't have enough good shots from the blue line as it is. Don't wanna move who is easily our best one.

I would do it also. But I seriously doubt that Buffalo would.

What if there was a better shot from the point coming back?

What it comes down to is how good Buffalo thinks JVR could really be. If they consider adding a scorer of his caliber to the wings more important than seeing out the development of Myers (which is the same exact reason Philly is doing the deal), it's not exactly unrealistic.

Not to mention Buffalo is insanely deep on D.

Well i guess it also depends what else we give up. But I'd really like to see us have more than one effective shot from the point.

Next to 28 and 14 Mezzy is a guy I really don't want us to move just based on the fact the shots from the point are so weak on this team. If we ended up moving him as part of a package tho I'd really want no less than Weber coming back.

It would really be dumb for the Flyers to move 2 top 6 forwards for a defenseman. Just really dumb.




For real.

No, it isn't. Not for a top caliber defensemen.
