is that also u?

If I said yes, I would be banned for sure.

So instead, If you ask me the question if I'm a fat man in a box, maybe I'm just fat. Or, maybe just a man in a box.

Those numbers were for a Giroux extension.

I realize Weber will cost $100+ mill in FA.
- LordStanley88

haha I saw and edited according. My bad.

And Giroux won't give us a slight discount? Why not?
- LordStanley88

I dont know what Giroux will do. Maybe he does if they sign him to a long-term contract.

Even for Weber, it's a staunch no. Giroux isn't going anywhere, and you'd be on crack to think otherwise.

I'm not arguing for or against just saying both sides have some Validity. Me I'd have to lean towards no. He's my son's favorite player I don't feel like dealing with a pissed of 6 y/o on top of my twins in their terrible two's.

From my lips to God's ears I never said one thing about who to pick as their favorite Flyer in my house. When we all went to a game this past season, My sister asked my son who his favorite Flyer is. My son without a thought replies "28". I don't use numbers when referring to players and if he asked me who my fav is I'd say Hartnell. Funny how kids pick up things.

As much as I love Weber there is no way I could give all that up for him. Hes one player that will have a high cap hit. Your team would be shredded if you made that deal of Schenn, Couturier, Read, Voracek, Mez and 3 1st rounders. Thats a big time overpayment IMO.

Maybe I got carried away but I'd give up Schenn, Couts and one of the other 3 for Weber plus a pick or two.

For Weber, I wouldn't be shocked if he got 13-14 years at $120 mill on the open market.

If I said yes, I would be considered funny for a change.

Agreed. 14 years, 126 mil.

I don't feel as though both sides have validity. You don't trade young franchise players, especially one that is, IMO, a top 5 player in the league.

Weber may be that too, but he's only available because he's a soon-to-be UFA on a small market team.

- NickTheKid87

see I don't like giving up multiple roster players plus picks for one guy. One hit and that's a career. I know Weber is great but geez look what we gave up for Pronger and it's kinda squandered due to an innocent stick to the face.

So who's got a Twitter on here? I love to chat about hockey on there when I'm not on HB. I know I already follow some of you. Hit me up at @NickTheKid87.

Perry will get $100 million easily too.

Thats a big time offer and I can see the Flyers offering that deal during free agency.

While that's all true, if he landed in a major franchise I think he'd become a longtime Free agent. Like i said, I wouldn't do the trade but if Homer was willing, I'd feel like it was JVR for Schenn again this time with much higher stakes.

Biggest competition will likely be Detroit.

- JoeRussomanno

That's not necessarily true because he did help us get to the Cup in '10. It's not the ultimate prize but have Sbisa, Lupul, John Moore and Emerson Etem done that much worth missing?

When it comes to Weber all the big market teams will be in on it.

I'm sure with the nature of discussion concerning the loss of Matt Carle, and the supposed need of a topline winger we could use Sbisa and Lupul right about now. Even if that hit never happened, Pronger would be an aging Player and we'd still be looking for a cup.

I dont think he will hit UFA... gut feeling.

I see what you're saying, but just don't think it's realistic whatsoever.

The realistic attribute is a whole other discussion. Who knows what goes on in these talks between Gullible Men er I mean General Managers.

- stveshdy

I don't foresee NY, LA, etc. pursuing him given their needs and current roster. Things could always change though.

Really? So the team that trades for him is going to lock him up long-term?

After watching what Suter got I dont see how he doesnt test the market unless the team that trades for him gives him the 12-14 yr, 126M contract.
