Totally AGREE!!

I love Prust, can play on the PK as well, signing him can help to create another forward going out in a package.

- puckhead17


How is Prust defensively?

Prust-Couturier-Talbot?

Shut down central.

Someone tell Homer about the 20% discount sale beginning next week and keep his wallet at home. Sign a backup goalie and watch from the sidelines

They've acquired ALL their top end d-men via trades. That's been their problem since year one. They can't pick and grow their own top two.

i'm too lazy to do the research but it would be interesting to see how many of the top 2 D on each cup team since the lockout were homegrown.

I would actually be okay with Leighton at the league minimum.

We dont need players like that.

Guys that perform their best when it counts is something I would avoid

- Daman

Because that is what I meant.... but lucky for me we have someone nearly as brilliant as 2real to point it out.

Solid, he plays on a PK unit for them, forechecks like a madman, that would be a great signing, he could also play on a line with 2 top forwards and compliment them in a fill in role

If they need to sign Leighton at the minimum to have just enough cap space to do something big, they'll do that rather than sign a guy for 1.1M per year or something.

The more I look into this Jason Garrison guy... the more I am thinking he is a tremendous alternative to Carle. I had never even heard of the guy before but a quick search of what kinda player he is... I would like that signing...

Blocks shots, hits and has offensive skill...

I'm in. Depending on price of course.

The Flyers have gaps; 1-2 wingers, 1 defenseman, 1 backup goalie... They have money (cap room)... I'd be upset if they didn't fill some of those gaps today. I'm not sold on the idea of any major trades.

I'm more than ok w/ minor moves at this point. if he still had JVR, he'd have more trade chips, but that's over.

Why? Where does it say anywhere that just standing pat wins you a cup? I see a lot teams do nothing and not make the playoffs.

could jiri hudler play with G? Hes a sniper right?
- aosplayo


25 goals (25 assts.). Detroit plays a similar style that Lavy wants to play. I'm starting to think this should be the key on picking up new players... Make sure they can / or are motivated to play Lavy's system.

With the way Couturier was out there shutting down the best players in the NHL, if you can get him another winger who is good defensively and plays a physical game... them as a third line could be invaluable to this team.

Oops, sorry.

Is Emery still under contract with the Hawks?

I think it's Leighton too. Guy has nine lives.

Garrison would be a good signing, and you could still move someone in a package if need be after

There is always a round 2 to free agency where teams move pieces around. Do you really want Carle at $5.75 for 6 years?

2 minutes away. What's great about being a Flyers fan. They normally get all their shopping done within the first 2 hours (I'll even go as far as saying, first hour).
