Thanks. But I didn't start this JayBo stuff. Eklund did. I just said that I wouldn't be pissed if they didn't give up any assets. I can see how it would work out.

Eklund needs stuff to get the clicks, I ain't mad at him. Hey I'd buy him a beer if it came to fruition as much as it pissed me off, but doesn't mean I'm gonna slog it out in the debate trenches all afternoon either.

Only a matter of time now before Philly1980 shows up with his Bobby Ryan trumpet.

Oh yea, but it was well worth it. I would do it all over again, and I was actually happy because I didn't have to pull my hair out over the last 2 weeks during this JVR, Parise, Suter, Voracek, Ryan, Nash...BS. I also learned how to cut pancakes with tooth picks, play blackjack with Tom Cruise in Vegas, and I found out I'm an Excellent Driver.

Have to like the passion though.

Just got on, didn't read back.

Would there be any interest in someone like Arnott for a big, checking center?

Cap hit shouldn't be so bad. Decent enough last year on faceoffs at 50.3%. Big. A plus 13 with the Blues. Still found time to score 17 goals. Age a factor.

Just a thought.

You can say what you will, but I was warned several times to not state what others would say and to not put words in their mouth.

At least this was a warning.

I did get banned for calling someone a contrarian, which I not only regret but still haven't figured out what the word means.

I think Arnott would be a great addition. Would he be an assistant coach for the Flyers or the Phantoms?

If he doesn't waive the NTC in the offseason and you absolutely need the money, thats when you bite the bullet and buy him out. Sure its 2 million on the cap for 2 years, but its not that bad. Without any changes the Flyers would still ahve about 3.1 million in cap space, and maybe more if there is a bonus cushion.

Then next season WORST case senario if you have to buy him out and the cap doesnt go up, you will get over 10 million in cap space with Timonen and Jaybo's cap space alone. Or in other terms 16 million to resign Simmonds, Hartnell, and go after Weber, Enstrom, or whoever... More then enough.

Yes it is that bad. It's an awful, awful course of action for the Flyers to take. It would reek of incompetance.

I think Phi1736 said so yes. I'd give him a look see.

Terrible. Makes no sense at all to make that move.

Would you do Giroux for Weber str8 up?

u got no takers on this one

How is he defensively... If he was a good d-center Id definitely have interest. One of my bigger complaints is the lack of a big defensive center with vet experience. Talbot is a hell of a player, but I want more size and a better f/o guy.

2 million dollars can make a hugeeeeee difference when it comes time to resign guys.

If I was J-Bo, I would waive my NMC in a hearbeat to come to Philadephia and all it's warm and welcoming fans.

that means it's a fair deal i think

There are questionable moves and then there are stupid ones.
- funmaster18

Yes, and the Flyers trading for Bouwmeester and then buying him out after one season, definitely falls in the latter category.

No question about it.

- Daman

Good question.

I'd start him in Trenton. More comfortable. On the off days he could take in a Debs game or two, drop in and visit with some of his ol' buds.

that means it's a fair deal i think

now you're just being mean. i will report you if i have to.

You can say what you will, but I was warned several times to not state what others would say and to not put words in their mouth.

I did get banned for calling someone a contrarian, which I not only regret but still haven't figured out what the word means.

I didnt state what he would say, just that he is extremely interested in bobby Ryan. Which I think is a fact at this point.

I have to be honest I pondered it myself.
