2012 Flyers Offseason Thread

[SD]

Nash I don't want unless he comes very cheap and we know that's not the case. I'd love Ryan and Eskin reported last night the Flyers offer is Read/Gus/future 1st for him. If that's the case I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. Even if they do get Parise I'd still make that trade. I doubt Anaheim does that though, they probably want either Schenn or Courturier and to me there's not way I make that deal.

Can't break up the Schenn brothers!

if they don't get parise i hope homer doesn't overpay to get Nash from Columbus.  i'd rather him go after Ryan anyway, i think he'll cost less.

and i don't really want Suter at a huge contract, he's not much better than Carle is.

i dont want any part of  power forward...they are so 1980's in the nhl...patrick kane henrik zetterberg dustin brown is what wins these days......this is why ive always hated reemer...so boring

[SD]

Ovechin/Malkin/Crosby are all power forwards. The term is actually a little outdated...I prefer talent upgrade whereever possible, and if you can get a potential 40 goal scorer in his early 20's for Read/Gus/1st you make that trade in a heartbeat

[Eagles_Legendz]

I think Suter is a pretty significant upgrade from Carle, but not at that price.  If they're really giving 100mil out I'd prefer it be for Parise.

Might be down to the Wild and Penguins for Parise

Eklund's a hack but this is coming from TimmyP and I believe it...especially the part about Bryz:

Eklund and I were both told by people we trust that Suter would NOT play for the Flyers. I was told NO team in the East but PGH had a shot at it because of Suter's past relationship with Pens GM Ray Shero.

Suter is a longshot to everyone else in the East, I feel.

Parise? I talked to agents who have a pulse on what goes on and they said before this began that they never heard Parise's name with any club other than NJ. Not that kind of guy.

Now there are offers but ... I have a hard time thinking he takes the $ and comes here because he really likes playing in NJ and that would be less money. What I am saying is that these are 2 guys who may turn down $ for other reasons.

One prominent agent told me before FA began the Flyers would have trouble this summer luring impact players b/c a lot of guys aren't sold on goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's ability to win a Cup and based on what they saw this season in Philly, reinforces their belief.
