Flyers 2006 Offseason Thread

[rjs246]

depends what you can get

A top goalie and a defenseman who can actually skate would probably be too much to ask hope for.

it's (sadly) obvious Primeau will not be able to play this upcoming season.  Sanderson is a 34 yr old replacement for 34yr old Primeau

[SunMo]

probably.

i'm thinking Gagne for Ovechkin straight up.

[SunMo]

i hate dudes that spell their name Geoff


now, Ryu, that's a kickass name

-- Broadcast shakeup:  Keith Jones is the new color commentator (and will continue doing Postgame Live), Coates will now do interviews and rinkside reporting, and Dornhoefer is retiring to become a Hugh-like ambassador.

-- cool new high-tech scoreboard at the Center

-- the Flyers (Phantoms) reacquired Eric Meloche from the Blackhawks for pissed-off European Vaclav Pletka

-- no deal for Gagne yet, but Clarke is optimistic it'll get done soon

In addition to the new center-hung scoreboard, ANC is installing an additional 1,000 linear feet of SMARTVISION® 20mm LED ribbon around the second level facade to compliment the company's existing fascia system at the arena. The two levels of fascia will bring alive the arena with advertisements and crowd prompts such as "get loud" and "defense." Two new outdoor SMARTVISION® 25mm displays will also welcome fans on Pattison Avenue.

Great, because Flyers fans have no clue when to start chants on their own.

"PECOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO POWER PLAY"

new scoreboard will be a nice addition.

...just don't raise the beer prices!

The Palace in Aurburn Hills and American Airlines Center in Dallas (among others) have had that type of scoreboard for years. It's about time they jumped on the ball and got one.

[The BIGSTUD]

The Flyers acquired Kyle Calder from Chicago for Handzus.

Hate to see Handzus go, but this is a great deal for the Flyers. Calder has speed, and can score.
