2011 Flyers Offseason Thread

[Munson]

So they took all that money they freed up and signed and/or traded for a bunch of middle of the road, 20-25 goal scorers to go along with the rest of their team...a bunch of middle of the road, 20-25 goal scorers.



Bryz+Giroux and JVR better be in beast mode this season.

[MDS]

Haha jagr. That's awesome. Nhl 98 what

[Eagles_Legendz]

Actually, forget the Penguins reaction, it might be worth it for igy's reaction.  Nothing says eurotrash quite like

[BigEd76]

Boucher to Carolina...2/$1.9M

Erik Cole (rumored as a possible Flyer) to Montreal...4/$18M

[SunMo]

Leino to the Leafs (rumor)


Versteeg to the Panthers for a 2nd and a 3rd

[SunMo]

damn, Leino to Sabres for 6 years/$27 million

that is way too much for him


after seeing what some other guys like Ryder and Cole got...Jagr's 1 year for 3.3 is a bargain

[rjs246]

damn, Leino to Sabres for 6 years/$27 million

that is way too much for him

Whoa. WAY too much for him. I mean, I wanted them to sign the guy but jesus that's a lot more money than I ever thought he'd get.

Versteeg to the Panthers for a 2nd and a 3rd

I know they wanted to dump him, but I actually thought he fit in well with this team. Would have liked them to get a little more for a player that is good at everything even if he was great at nothing.

[SunMo]

i hope they didn't trade versteeg to free up salary for Leino.  they had to have had a reason because otherwise they are short a winger now

[Rome]

6/27 for leino is hysterical.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Leino laughing all the way to the bank, that's for sure.

[ice grillin you]

what a joke of an offseason....holmgren literally just making moves just to make moves

jagr was a complete piece of shtein chain smoking team killing no defense playing selfish piece of shtein when he was on the rangers....now hes going on 40 with three extra skill eroding years gone by?....this will def end well....at least it will be fun listening to homerrific flyer fans defend the move....the same fans who were destroying him when he was on wash and ny

this is why they traded richards and carter?...wtf....i was in favor of moving them if they had a solid plan b....but this is a joke..i mean jody shelley scores almost as much as maxime talbot

it better come out that carter and richards both have ALS or holmgrens head has to roll

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, either that or Bryz shuts the door all season long.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Haha I agree with igy but it was worth it for that reaction.

[SD]

The Carter trade I didn't mind, they freed up space to sign Bryzgalov and they got some decent talent in return. The Richards trade was retarded, they received an average winger and a guy who might turn into Richards. What's the point of that move?

Talbot's whatever, he fills a need.
I'm glad they signed Jagr because Pens fans are pissed, but really he's a 3rd liner who might give them 20 goals. He's basically this years version of Zherdev.

I would have kept Versteeg considering they didn't even get a first back for him. Like rjs said, maybe he's better a year in the system.

The Leino deal is absolutely absurd.

[ice grillin you]

The Carter trade I didn't mind, they freed up space to sign Bryzgalov

dont fall for the okey doke...they easily could have signed breezy by getting rid a a few hideous middle level players

when you get rid of carter and richards you better be gettng stamkos or some huge high profile guy or else why the farg do it

richards
carter
versteeg
leino

for

breezy
hairy armpits
talbot
schenn
simmonds
voracek

if you are gonna rebuild then rebuild
if you are gonna remake the team to win a cup this year then remake the team to win a cup this year
but for god sakes dont do neither

if rebuilding was a 1 and winning the cup next year a 10 then their offseason was about a 4
