Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

SD

Lots of trade talks.

Bobby Ryan
Parise
Nash won't waive his NTC to come here [thank god]
They're interested in Weber and Suter but don't think Suter wants to come here
Rumors they're trying to move up to the #6 pick to grab Dumba

I have a sneaky suspicion they might be talking to Toronto about Phaneuf. Just a gut feeling I have.

I get the feeling something big is going down tonight. Buh bye JVR.

Suter flat out said he doesn't want to come here or anywhere in the East.  He wants to stay in the west.  He's a glorified Carle anyway.  Weber or gtfo.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

The players certainly dont like Phaneuf, but Burke has been in love with JVR for years.

Suter is a better player than Carle but I think he winds up in Detroit. The rumor floating was JVR/Read/Bourdon/ 2 1sts for Weber. Whether that's bullshtein or not I don't know, but I wouldn't give up that much for him. If they took Read or one of the 1sts out of the mix then I'd be down.

And i head JVR/Bob/20th overall for Ryan and teh 6th.  I dont see that being anywhere enough on the flyers part.

yeah that's not anywhere close. They'd probably have to throw Read or Schenn or a 1st in to make that work and maybe more.

sign parise and use your trade assets to get weber

Rumor that BOB is going to Columbus for draft picks

There's also one that Parise's rights were traded to Colorado

Seabiscuit36

so far its columbus's 2nd rounder.  Flyers are apparently still on the phones with them, so its possible they're working on a 3 way trade.

what happened to the three way trade....not you sb cause i know you got that from twitter or some other message board from a supposed expert but i absolutely despise internet idiots who post shtein that they are completely clueless about just to look smart...the GM's could have been arguing over popeyes vs kfc on the phone for all anyone knows yet some douche has to suggest that theres a 3 way trade possibly in the works

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