2007 Flyers Offseason Thread

[BigEd76]

draft time

Sounds like the Flyers might take the New Jersey kid instead of whoever is left from Kane/Turris...

[SD_Eagle5]

Sounds like they're working the phones to make a deal. TV coverage mentioned talks with the Kings and Maple Leafs.

[SD_Eagle5]

Leafs turned down Steen and 13 for 2

Should have taken Turris, this is going to haunt them 5 years from now.  JVR isnt going to suck but he isnt going to have half the career of Turis or Cherepanov.  The worst part is the Penguins got Esposito, and the Rags got Cherepanov both at great value
