Vic Rattlehead18 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Possibly Nash soon too, http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=6609 What is Philly trying to build? prongers retirement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 For a 2nd and a 5th. Seems almost a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 see, now i think getting Grossman and Kubina are great moves for the Flyers. they dont really give that much and they just added two guys that stand at 6'4" with Grossman at 230lbs and Kubina at 258. the flyers basically just got huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm not blown away by this deal. I suppose this and Grossman improve the flyers but they still have questionable goaltending and are as much a crapshoot as everyone besides NYR and BOS out of the East.

sundstrom Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Being big isn't as important as being positionally sound and quick. I could argue Andy Greene is just about as good as these guys and he's a might on ice in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do that for Zach lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Philly getting Nash for JVR, Bob, and one of schenn or couturier would be fine w/ me. Does not make them better and their summer cap is a mess b//c Pronger is a part of it. I wa hoping the rangers tore themselves apart to get him bit Philly is fine too.

Mayday Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Well hopefully Kubina is slow. Will he be effective or just be a slow big body? We'll see. if philly really wanted nash and i was the jackets GM i'd ask for JVR, Bobs, 1st, ++ or Giroux dare I say?

Colin226 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 WTF is Homer doing down there? sh!t, at this point he seems to just be making trades for the hell of it.. Plus he is dealing a lot of picks which hopefully sets them up for 10 years of phailure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 if it gets part of their future out the door, it hurts them in the long run. i understand that but Nash is a great player and i just dont wanna see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looking back we got Kovy for such little. Oduya is really nothing huge now. Bergfors is in Europe? Cormier isn't any breakout player just yet and the 2nd rounders were just merely flipped. i understand that but Nash is a great player and i just dont wanna see it +1, Nash-Giroux would suck for a playoff series. It really would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin226 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i understand that but Nash is a great player and i just dont wanna see it The last thing that they need is more scoring.. They are #1 in scoring in the NHL, so unless Homer feels that 7+ goals a game is the only way to overcome Bryz's mediocrity, then why the hell would they trade some of their future for Nash?

Dead Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) What happens now that they are about 2 million OVER the cap?? Forfeit games until they are under the cap? Edited February 19, 2012 by Dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) If the Flyers get Nash, they will have significantly upgraded their offense since ridding themselves of Richards and Carter and thus will have shown they may have had a plan all along. Nothing makes up for signing Bryz of course. Edited February 19, 2012 by ben00rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BelieveinBrodeur Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Their goaltending is back to where it always was really, 2 goalies to equal one. Injury issues, Brzy gives them no salary flexibility and Both Grossman and Kubina are UFA's at seasons end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What happens now that they are about 2 million OVER the cap?? Forfeit games until they are under the cap? They're only like 150k over the cap once you take their LTIR into account, so they'll just send a guy down, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
