So the Wild GM can't be given a grade thus far because it's July 4

I didn't say anything about the Wild GM. And I could care less what his grade is.

I posted after the big trades last yr that the flyers needed to get out in front of needing a young dman who could be a top pairing guy. thought we could consider flipping a young guy for that plyr...

now we have an even greater need while having less assets to obtain that plyr. the idea that all of these guys who project to be UFAs will actually be available is a bit of a pipedream. this is one of the reasons I was upset w/ the JVR trade...because we backfilled on d instead of being willing to move schenn and maybe get a guy who projects higher like pk, bogo, et al. of course we can't say for sure that we could have obtained that type of plyr, but it does appear that schenn was pretty much untouchable...

His grade is clearly an F. Massive overpayments for marginal talent.

Kudos to Holmgren for not panicking after losing out on Parise and Suter.

Moving on from Carle was the right move. I salute you. Don't overpay for players with a ton of weaknesses!

I hope not. If anything, throw money at Doan--tell him if he wants a shot at the Cup, here is his chance.

At this point, I don't want Nash or Ryan. The last thing the Flyers need to do is revamp the entire roster again.

I don't like the jvr trade simply Bc the type of player L schenn is, is generally available year in and year out on the UFA market in the form of an o'donnell, zanon, grossman, etc. and I just wanted one more year of jvr. If the flyers have concerns long term with his hip. It was a good deal.

Well, I don't know where Homer's going to go here, but everyone is getting overpaid.

Carle got a 6 yr 33 million dollar deal

Suter got a 13 yr 98 million dollar deal.

People thought they were similar type players....
