Freakin' Eddy Beers
- Glak18

We felt like an Eddy Beers but had to settle for a hot cup of Paul Coffey. It was a Brett Hull of a long trip and it was so cold the we Brad May have wished for some Colin Campbell soup instead.
Late that evening we Scott Walker down to the Phoenix Coyotes bar and grill. It certainly will be Dany Heatley there tonight as several canuck players will be there and the ladies will be Kelly Chase ing them for a Willie Mitchell of a Wild time.

Thank you very much. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Hook you up with a hottie in 15 minutes. Priceless!

Don't think my gf would approve of an old man trying to pick up girls for me at a bar

C'mon it is just hockey player fun, it was so cold our faces were Wade Redden by the time we got home.

Wait so you're voiding the offer?

That is negotiable, anyway I see it is almost your bed time so I will say goodnight for now. Hope your all safe and away from the flooding. Take care, one last bit of the poem.

We were hungry so we opened up our Sean Brown bags and ate our Kelly Buchbergers that we picked up at Lanny McDonalds.

Nite all cheers and I am sober as a judge today

I certainly hope so, Hextall's luck has to change. I hope Hart gets a shot soon. The Neuvy/Elliott experiment is clearly not working, both of them are already booked for sick bay in November, haha

You really need to do some research or just shut the (frank) up.

Carter Hart is the best goalie to ever play in juniors. He has been heads and shoulders better than anything else.

He might need a year in AHL, just to adjust to the speed and the skill, but he is destined to be a bonified star.

Aftyer a few years watching Schenn....he is totally overrated. He shows up in spurts, and most of his goals in Philly were not game changers, but scored when the game was out of hand. Getting Frost and Farabee for Schenn is a huge steal.

Schenn got the Flyers 2 first round picks......who is going to give that for a second line player? Schenn also disappeared for an extended period of time for St Louis, as at one point he was well above a point a game, yet finished well below a point a game. Schenn may seem more productive now, but give the trade 5 years, and come see me.

I don't drink the Flyers koolaid, and say what I think. Hextall has done a fine job of stocking this team, after Homer depleted most of it's resources.

They Flyers are a young team, with the best farm system in the league, and Hextall is still getting rid of the overpriced, extreme contracts that Homer gave out.

The young guys are starting to fill the roster, and within 2 years, this team is going to be a juggernaut.

Elliott and Nevy were just space fillers, while waiting for Hart and Sandstrom. Maybe do some research before throwing things out there off the top of your head.

He won’t commit to an extension with anyone or with the bj’s? I’m sure Columbus would allow a team access to his agent for extension purposes, so Columbus can maximize value in the deal
- Just5

He says he won't re-sign with Columbus, and I heard Columbus hasn't yet given their approval for any talks with others, as they still hope to change his mind. Maybe Bill knows more as to the validity of all that.
They definitely won't get any where near full value in return without first allowing such talks.

Best you read what I said before you cum. Hart is the future. As far as the rest of your comments I strongly disagree. You are not telling the whole story, what about Lehtera, was he just added for nothing? Your prospects are just that and have no bearing on the current Flyers. You are certainly not at my level but you can always come back with garbage off the top of your head or wherever.

Grief:Just to be clear, downplaying the potential of a player(Frost), for not playing in the NHL in his draft +1 and/or perhaps his draft +2 season is inconsistent with your stated liking of Schenn. Schenn did not play fulltime in the NHL until his junior eligibility was exhausted. Sure he had a dozen or so unproductive games over two years while he had junior eligibility, but he was traded to Philly for more than one reason.

It is easily, equally possible that Frost achieves the same or greater success in just as much time post draft. All of this excludes Farabee, which only cost the Flyers cap space they did not need. I'm not declaring a win for the Flyers but Schenn was not the key to future success for the Flyers. The others might be and certainly can't hurt because they fit the talent and cap timeline for success.

If I'm Columbus I'm trading asap to try & get the very best back, a full year could turn a bubble into a contender.

If I'm a team 'considering' spending assets on Panarin then it should for a Cup & only a Cup. Those teams won't know until around the trade deadline where the price might be downing a little.

Teams like the Rangers shouldn't spend anything on getting him this season when they only have to wait & get him for free - they aren't going to contend this season no matter what.

Then which of the bubble teams have the assets they are prepared to lose to get him? Not many I would think.

Probably end up getting a 1st (late), conditional pick & either a NHL player or good prospect.

I hate to say this, but I wonder if Columbus would take Kessel and a pick/prospect for Panarin. Kind of makes sense for both clubs.

Well, I can't see Columbus being able to convince him to stay. If Panarin wants the big city and also a place where he can showcase his extraordinary talents, then where better than to step into the vacated skates of John Tavares. NYI will allow him major exposure and the Isles certainly have a stable of good young talent to entice Columbus. It would be a win-win and like most other moves, Lou flies under the radar and can pull this off.
Having him on Barzal's side could be an amazing duo for years to come!
- temmer29

How much exposure is there? I’m not challenging your claim, I’m just curious. Over here in Western Canada we mostly get the Canadian teams, the Original 6 teams that are doing well, and whatever teams are considered a favorite prior to the TV schedule coming out ( We’ll see lots of Wash, Nash and Pitts this year no doubt).

We’re not exposed to the Islanders any more than we are the Panthers or Sabres.

Not sure that would be the best they could get. I'd love Panarin on the Pens but other teams could out bid us & I don't think the burgh is a city he wants to live in so probably wouldn't resign.

Could/would the Pens do it just for 1 season? I doubt it.

I’d do Simmonds straight up for Panarin

I am entitled to my opinion and I will tell you that Frost is no lock to be a star at the nhl level. Schenn is already there, young, physical, 70 points last year and works his butt off every shift. What more could you want, congrats STL for an amazing trade win. JR in Pittsburg, he also knows how to win, unlike your Coma Man.
- joegreif17

I really couldn't care less about brayden schenn anymore, but this "works his butt off every shift" comment is complete bull$h!t. If that were the case he would have made himself indispensable to la and phi. He is a good not great nhl player. When the flyers aqcuired him they bet on his potential as one of the best prospects in all of hockey.

Panarin has made it known that he is looking to play with a longtime franchise located in a big city that also has big waters surrounding it within a close distance. That latter is what makes of Eklund's favorites, the Rangers be Panarin's own favorite likely landing spot should he reach free agency, with Boston probably being his second favorite. A Montreal or Chicago can't offer the Atlantic Ocean waters in contrast to those two other "Original Six" NHL franchises, with Panarin's apparent desire to be as close to the Blue waters of the Atlantic as possible.
- RangerSaver

The Big Blue Atlantic is right at the other end of Sunrise Blvd. They may not have the O-6 thing going, but if the lure of the Ocean is so strong, maybe playing for a very good team while still being able to take the boat out on a warm Dec/Jan off day might make up for that.
Idk if FL will try to trade for him, though, even if at a "rental" rate. Columbus will want more than Bjugstad, a prospect, and an early pick, and Tallon seems pretty adamant about keeping the prospect CBJ would want in Borgstrom. I think they're more likely to wait and take their shot next July. Panarin seems set on testing the FA market, even if he's dealt this season.

This is true but I got a mad on for trading Schenn and nothing else matters. That is the truth and yes I hope Frost and Farabee turn into amazing players. Brayden is a family friend and it really hurt to see him go.

True, he was one of the best prospects in hockey and he broke out at 25 as did T. Bertuzzi at that age. The best is yet to come, let me know when it starts to freeze out and Frost actually shows up.

I think Panarin is all about the big pay day, all this ocean crap is just ocean crap. He wants to be paid in excess of 10 mil and if that is true he will never be a Hawk again.

You sick Puppy, no wonder your dog licks

Your humour is so bad I can't stop crying Hopefully Gm Columbo is on acid and accepts your nauseating offer

I would do Simmonds and half a dozen other flyers for Panarin, P is plain out a superstar. PM Dubois wants him signed asap

I don't believe for a second that Brayden is a family friend

But if he is that would explain your unhealhy, borderline creepy obsession with him.
