If the Flyers end up with Weber and Doan, they can tear down Billy Penn and put a statue of Holmgren's Balls on top of city hall

A lot is going to depend on Weber. Now if the Flyers make a trade maybe they free up enough money to add Doan (or if they miss on Weber).

Only way possible to fit Doan if Nashville doesn't match is to trade assets

Not sure I'm ok with never seeing the sun again while I'm in Center City.

Indeed, I think it is one or the other unfortunately. Quite possibly you could see the Pens, Rangers, Flyers, and Wings bidding against each other for Doan. Good lord, talk about a severe overpayment coming.

If they trade Voracek, Doan would be a pretty damn good replacement.. #pipedream

Many won't agree with me here but I think the Flyers should let it all ride on the offer sheet to Weber. No trades. Either Nashville matches or they dont. Many feel the Flyers want Weber too badly to let it slip away, I don't feel that way though.

I think Doan will get close to $6 million/yr for at least three years. Somewhere Fehr is just smiliing.
- ravishingone


Speaking of dreaming. If the Flyers traded Voracek and Meszaros for Weber. Place Pronger on LTIR. Signed Doan for 6M. They'd still have 2.9M to play with on the Cap.

Not necessarily. Match quickly, and the fans think that was easy and more is to come. Match next week, and make a speech about how incredibly wrenching it was and how at the end they could not let the fans down. Then, the fans cheer, and ownership has enough goodwill to scrap along and reach the floor this year and no one blames them for not doing anything more.

wrenching to go on their own words to match any deal? fascinating

mean while their captain spews love about philly

I'm actually fine with all three possibilities, so long as they don;t end up overpaying to guarantee Nashville doesn't match. I have no issue with trading a fair asset package to entice Nashville to let Weber walk.

Doan is going to be overpaid bigtime.

Aye, there's dat, but I think that was more to scare away potential offer sheeters.

I don't think you are going to see much more of that at all. Nothing today, right? Guy has a very good chance of playing there for a very long time.

I could live with Voracek and Meszaros and 2 1st rounders. I could live(it'd be tough, but I could) with the Schenns going with 2 firsts, as Bill suggested.

The latter deal would basically be the deal I suggested back around the TDL(JvR, Schenn & 2 1sts for Weber)

They would be able to sign him with the off season cap still?

Doan changes everything. If they can add Doan and Weber I'd be more willing to go higher on the picks with Voracek and Meszaros, but not too much higher.

I would choose option number one.

I would not deal the Schenn's plus two number ones. I rather take my chances that Nashville will not match this offer.

It's probably not going to happen but who knows, maybe Hoglemer has some tricks up his sleeves
