2011 Flyers Offseason Thread

Good trade for both teams. I'm sad to see Captain Wrister go, but this is obviously a great sign on the Brzygalouduonbcewlncov front.

Voracek was the #7 overall pick 4 years ago, and the 1st this year is #8 overall

He looks like another 40-50 point guy with 15-20 goal potential. This team has like 7 of those types of players already but that's not such a bad thing. Considering the fact that everyone knew the Flyers were looking to dump salary, I'm pretty happy with what they're getting here.

Not a bad trade and the good news is they'll be able to sign Bryzgalov

more buzz (probably fake)

-- Richards to LA
-- Versteeg and Columbus' #8 overall to Florida for #3 overall

Getting rid of Carter AND Richards doesn't strike me as the best idea...

richards to toronto is hot also

either way they want the crybaby young drunks gone

rjs246 · June 23, 2011, 04:05:47 PM

Certainly appears that way.

I may cry. Someone hold me.

Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a 2nd-rd pick

unfarginbelievable

Simmonds is a brutha so igs approves

Schenn is a top 3 prospect in all of the NHL

rjs246 · June 23, 2011, 04:12:53 PM

Wow. They really aren't farging around.

ice grillin you · June 23, 2011, 04:13:08 PM

wow getting schenn is huge

rjs246 · June 23, 2011, 04:27:26 PM

I would say that it's going to be weird seeing Richards and Carter in different uniforms but I never stay up to watch the Kings and the Blue Jackets are never on TV so I guess it's a non-issue.

DH · June 23, 2011, 04:40:54 PM

Richards and Carter gone for Bryzgalov, #8, 2nd and 3rd round picks, Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and Jake Voracek...

On paper, I think they got better...I think.

DH · June 23, 2011, 04:43:35 PM

fwiw, my buddy in LA has a friend who is a kings die-hard...he said this may turn out to be the worst trade in the history of their franchise.
