2011 Flyers Offseason Thread

The problem IS, they needed to address the things that were lost ON the ice with Richards and Carter....and even if Gagne is signed, they didn't even come close to addressing that.

Signing Jagr is pretty much the definition of a can't miss move. If he plays great, Holmgren got a star for peanuts. If he plays like shtein, everyone expected it so no biggie there either.

Like everyone else I love the signing just because I knew Havas would have a farging kitten over it.

I'll drink to that.

And this:

QuoteVille Leino signed a contract that pays him $900,000 for each of his 30 total NHL goals.

Saw this pic and chuckled a little...

I was pondering scenarios in my head and was wondering why didn't the Flyers just offer Richards/Carter up to Tampa for Stamkos? You get a bonafide superstar and still have money left over to use towards Bryzgalov. If Tampa says no you sweeten the pot a little with Bob or some picks.

If Tampa can't afford to sign Stamkos then how would they be able to take on the contracts of Carter & Richards?

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 02, 2011, 11:22:04 AM

Maybe Stamkos likes Jersey chicks and Bud Light Lime even more than those guys.

disagrees with what? i've already said they need to do something else for the offense, especially since they traded versteeg, you don't trade him for picks to not make another move.

as for jagr, i am ok with the deal. there is no chance a 39 year old player on a one year contract can be a cancer, if he is, they waive him and the problem is solved. he should be excellent for the power play, especially playing with giroux.

talbot is an upgrade from betts on the 4th line, and is a great pk guy.

they aren't done...and if they are, i'll rip them. but it's day farging 2 of free agency.

also, when everyone talks about how many goals they have to make up, don't forget they signed a top 10 goalie.

Rome · July 02, 2011, 02:46:41 PM

They were Cup worthy if they added a goalie. So what do they do? Add a goalie then tear the team apart. Holmgren is a farging idiot.

SunMo · July 02, 2011, 02:57:20 PM

lol he's such an idiot that he took over the worst flyers team in history and made them a cup contender. pretty sure he has more of a clue on what he's doing than you do.
