Ryan - I bet he is traded to the Flyers on the 1st right after Parise signs with Detroit.

how much you think Doan would take to sign here? 2/3.5 per?
- flyersfan51


He is just coming off a long contract at $4.55MM - that's is achievable. The only problem is that he wants a 4yr contract. Maybe sweeten it for a 3yr contract. (after 3yrs - Ryan becomes a UFA and replaces him). Jagr was $3.3MM and send Shelley's $1.1MM down the AHL, that's just $150k difference.

To the public maybe not but to the hockey world (NHL teams) its very possible.

Sure, teams talking to each other about players is what leaks out and starts the rumors.

Are you looking for any warm body, or a true replacement? Allen isn't the caliber of Meszaros.

We have young guys: Giroux, the Schenns, Couturier, Read, Voracek, Simmonds, etc. I think we could use some more veteran presence. The youth movement was part of the reason they failed against NJ.

Flames gave up Jordan Henry and a 5th round pick for Wideman's rights. Signed him to five-year deal for $5.25-mil a year.

I agree. Money is also an issue for us. We dont need big splashes, or maybe stated differently, cant afford them.

We did well with the Lappy and Knubles of the world. A couple of these and I will be happy.

I don't think that's necessarily true. The Flyers were winning zero puck battles most of the time. No system can succeed when you don't win puck battles. Injuries killed the team too.

Definitely. People thing the big splashes are what wins a Cup. That's simply not true. A lot of the little moves can make all the difference in the playoffs.

Knuble was a 34 goal 65 point player for the Flyers. I'd kill to have the Knuble of 05-06 back.

i agree but its looking like if your a veteran you come to philly get overpaid long contract and only play 2 years get injured and then play out the rest of your contract on the IR...We have such bad luck!
