2012 Flyers Offseason Thread

Yeah, it was TimmyP.  They were probably talking about where they're going fishing next week. 

It was good value.  And now they have a little more ammo if they do decide to pursue a move up with Anaheim.

i know nhl drafts picks mean dick but thats a decent little haul for that bum

Agreed. Now if they could just get rid of Bryz they'd be set. I'd be fine with them taking a chance with a veteran goalie and drafting one early to groom as a backup. I think they know they're stuck with him so that sucks. Pretty sure the Bob trade is a small piece in a bigger deal.

if they somehow got rid of breezy the euphoria i would feel would be same ballpark as that of winning the cup

[SD]

As it stands now our picks would be:

PHI 1st (20)
CBJ 2nd (45)
SJ 3rd (78)
PHI 4th (111)
CBJ 4th (117)
PHI 5th (141)
PHI 7th (201)

PITTSBURGH - Bobby Ryan spent much of his Friday playing 90 holes of golf in a charity event near his summer home in Victor, Idaho, but that didn't prevent the Cherry Hill native and Anaheim Ducks star to escape the latest round of trade rumors.

"I've gotten wind of everything," Ryan said by phone between his fourth and fifth rounds.


Through a phone conversation a night earlier with his agent, Don Meehan, plus non-stopping texts from family and friends forwarding the latest, Ryan learned that the Flyers are among four teams involved in trade talks with the Ducks.


Frustrated with Ducks management, the 25-year-old left wing suggested he's up for a trade anywhere and that the Flyers would be his first choice.

"I heard Anaheim was a little overwhelmed with offers and they only took four seriously, but none of the teams were mentioned to me other than Philly," Ryan said. "Everybody wants to play in your hometown, but it would be tough because a lot of expectations come when you're put into a situation like that. For me, if I'm moved, Philadelphia would be a very ideal and comfortable place for me."

Pitt just traded Jordan Staal to Carolina for the 8th overall selection and Brandon Sutter

JVR Winnipeg?

[SD]

Flyers select another friggen center Scott Laughton

He's a Mike Richards type...typical Flyers pick. There were 2 decent defenseman that dropped and they didn't take one.

Flyers take a 6'5 200 lbs. goalie with the #45 pick. Anthony Stolarz

After being cut from two Eastern Junior Hockey League team's last summer, Stolarz earned a spot with the North American Hockey League's Corpus Christi IceRays. He was able to turn his season around, finishing with 23 wins, a 2.84 goals-against average, three shutouts and a .920 save percentage in 50 games
