Well Dreger was saying earlier that the Flyers offered Read, Mezaros and picks so we'll see.

was that on twitter?
the problem is it's been so quiet, no leaks.............crickets

I can live with that package, NO Jake included. (I like Read, but Jake stays)

That sucks. Sorry about your dog.

Bases loaded Phils, 6-6. How about Itchiro to the Yankees? The evil empire strikes again.

Good thing Ichiro is 38 yrs old. Atleast they get him out of his prime.

gotta get a Stepan or mcdonagh for Nash...skip the draft picks and 3rd line plyrs
- isaiah520


Absolutely. It's okay to get one of Anisimov or Dubinsky. But you have to get at least one of their top young players in return.

Kratz better be the backup catcher next year. Scored the winning run pinch running for Howard. Threw a guy out last night from his knees. No more Schneider. Too many lefty bats as it is.

actually it was Dustin Leed and this is the tweet copy and pasted

Dustin Leed ‏@D_LEED

@DarrenDreger says on TSN 1050 that the #Flyers offered Read, Meszaros, 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Shea Weber before they sent offer sheet.

And I really think that rags deal changes the situation for the flyers for the worse.

I didn't read this whole thread so I might be leight on this one....

But does anyone think the rangers pulled the trigger on the Nash deal because they are certain weber will be in Philly?

No not greedy at all, look at the Rangers top 6 now



If there's no Stepan in the deal, then a top 4 D man should have went

Howson sucks

No, the Rangers have been in on Nash for a long time. Going back to before the Draft.

lost a dog to that not too long ago too, ugh that one's the worst. They just fall apart in front of you.
- JoeRussomanno


in some ways for me, and him, it's better it happened the way it did. 24 hour situation and i had to make a decision. cost me a ton of $ to keep him overnite at penn and get a diagnosis. at least he was comfortable at the end. it wasn't some long drawn out situation. i had no time to prepare. difficult to say the least. still miss the big hairy dude.
