I don't think they will. I think Homer wants to see it through with the young guys.
- PhillySportsGuy

The way he was talking to Pinachio made me think that there was a strong chance of movement.

Edit: Not necessarily moving the young guys.. but somehow

my friend from the Seattle area said they are building a new arena for a basketball and hockey team

They are. They lost out on the Sacramento Kings though. That puts a damper on trying to attract a hockey team.

People keep saying this, but I don't see where they got it from. He basically said that he will make the best possible move. He said if he stays at 11, he knows he will get a player he likes.

He also chuckled at the notion of trading up saying it would cost a hell of a lot.

Would you guys trade Mesz, Cobourn, 2013 and 2014 2nd rd pick and cousins for Carolina's 5th overall pick?

Carolina would never do such a deal

Is this a joke?

I haven't heard anyone say that. Its just what I gathered from it and my opinion. None of us really know and it probably won't happen.

Jeeze. I think what we really need is more expansion! Seattle anyone?

Seattle getting the Coyotes would be great for the league.

Is this a joke?

No.

Thats a joke.

Yes in a second but I don't see them even picking up the phone for that offer.

How do they know what the offer is if they don't pick up the phone?

Caller ID tells them it's Holmer, they don't answer.

The offer is just that bad, they're already vomiting before Holmgler starts dialing.

This is a gem.

During Bob Clarke's two tenures as GM, he drafted 65 defensemen, 46 of them never played a game for the Flyers.

Splendid work. Good job, good effort.

My favorite is 1997 Round 9, a dman by the name of Par Styf. Can't make it up. All the dmen he drafted were Styfs

Absolutely not.

They believe they can trade him, is what I heard.

No deals yet today, no good rumors on Twitter.

Boring.

Usually it's understandable -- teams can't take on salary, teams don't have picks, blah blah blah.

But with the cap coming down, there are teams that have to make some adjustments, whether it be buyouts or whatever.

Thought today would feature a little more fun stuff by now.

Tomorrow will be the hectic day I think. Then on Wednesday. Just My opinion. Calm before the storm feels like to me.

I have no doubt that Bill has already written on this topic somewhere.

Also, I have no doubt that Bill can tell what happened to Par Styf, specifically.
