I want to see a D with Coburn, Schenn and Morin. They would look very intimidating.

I think your dreaming. Chris Pronger's job is easy money. I bet watching a game here and there, while scouting one player makes him feel at least a little more useful while he learns to retrain his eye.

Somebody routinely posts "would of" as opposed to "would have" and it just rustles the poop outta my jimmies.

Obviously not you. Maybe it's that Philabully phella

In my original post I was trying to ask how scott Laughton compares to Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn. I just forgot to right in Brayden Schenn's name.

Hexy has mentioned about the team trying to play a heavy game. So what would be the interest in Milan Michalek? The last two seasons haven't been good, but will probably be cheaper then Jokinen.

Are you seriously asking this question. The more money he receives, he can take care of himself, his kids' family and his grandkids' family someday. You're hoping he'll give up a million dollars the same way you're asking for a magical trade for Vincent Lecavalier, just so ill disappear. I could very well be wrong but I think it's a lot of wishful thinking on your part. I'm pretty sure Chris Pronger can come and go from Philadelphia as he pleases.

Where does VL fit into this? I said they should get rid of him. I never said it would be easy.

I'm not saying Pronger will turn the money down and retire. I'm just saying it could be an option.

I don't understand why this is such a debatable topic. In no way have I said he's going to do all this.

I kind of figured they wouldn't with his slide. Reclamation projects tend to be a little cheaper and since he will only be 30 when the season starts, gotta figure he won't be able to get a contract for more then $3 million/yr.

Word from Sens fans was that he needed to play with an elite center to be productive, but he's not really good enough to warrant being a top line player.

I think a good reclamation project could be Kulemin. Not a top line caliber player, but a guy who has shown to be a good two-way player with offensive potential.

Have you ever studied the theory of "No Way, no how"? I wouldn't do it. The man had a career ending injury and now he's being well compensated for it. I wouldn't give up a single cent. There's no telling if he'll ever see properly ever again.

Ok. He won't ever retire early. He will collect every check then rob a bank. You win.

I've never heard of a very rich man or even a very wealthy man give up half of his wealth just because he simply had too much money.

Tmac aged very poorly. His game just completely fell off. He and Iverson are the classic cases of guys who never learned how to play the game. They relied entirely on physical ability. Once their physical ability diminished, they had nothing left and were forced to retire in their mid 30s

I would be surprised to see Hexy go after a top flight winger, unless the market really dries up for one of them. I have to figure we'll get an answer about Kimmo within the next three weeks. I gotta believe with Kimmo being the class act he always has been, he will give the Flyers plenty of notice so they can make appropriate offseason plans.

Yeah. It's a tough decision to make in June though. Once training camp rolls around, he may get the itch again.

I wish I followed Ryan Ellis regularly. For a small guy he was so great in Juniors.

I wonder what the future is for Del Zotto? He wasn't very good after the trade, and as you posted they have added even more defensive depth to the organization.
