Gagne picks LA over the Flyers....2/$7M

[SD]

lol^^^^

I don't blame him, LA is going to be great next season.

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.

He took over a team with a ton of cap space and two picks in the first round including the #2 overall. Big whoop. He made some decent trades but it took him 4 years to actually address the goalie issue. He's had his good moments but he's also had his bad moments.
And I was referring to you being for the Richards trade earlier. You're the only one who defended it.

[ice grillin you]

lets get this straight jagr is an on ice cancer first which in turn makes him a locker rom cancer....hes doesnt care about winning or defense or going all out....he floats arounds the ice disinterested and scores 25 goals on pure talent all the while making his team worse

now heres the great part about this...he did this at age 36....which was THREE years ago...so erode his 25 gols how you see fit....oh but now hes a flyer so somehow he will play like hes 24 again

there wasnt a single flyer fan who didnt absolutely destroy jagr when he was a cap and ranger for being a POS team destroyer....the question now is how many flyers fans have no problem with this move....whatever that number is is the amount of stepford frauds are in their fanbase

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.

this pretty much sums it up...get breezy...disown versteeg and a  couple other scrubs and go for the cup next year...because thats about all you have left of pronger and timonen at a stanley cup winning level...if that doesnt work then blow it all up and rebuild

what i dont get as i mentioned a few days ago is why go in between those two things...you blow the team up but you arent really rebuilding either...you cant half ass it the way they have and expect all these different parts to come together and win a cup for you...you have washed up old veterans in jagr mixed with unproven promising guys who still need to get aquanited to the nhl in schenn mixed with youngish "veterans" from different systems and programs in vorcek talbot and simmonds

it just makes absolutely no sense to expect ll those different parts to magically come together and win a cup

the only reason they got jagr is because they jacked up ticket prices this year and you cant combine that with trading the teams two most popular players....so they got jagr to sell tickets as a "big splash" move...but and i really hope im right about this the flyer fanbase is more knowledgable than that and wont go for the old okey doke

They probably traded Richards because they knew once they dealt Carter he'd become a whiny bitch since he lost his Sea Isle/Old city buddy.

Last I checked, both guys disappeared in the playoffs so they shouldn't really be affecting the Flyers ability to win a cup.

[ice grillin you]

they made the cup with them 13 months ago...so im pretty sure they might have some affect...and im also pretty sure they have a better chance with them than with maxim talbot and jaromir jagr

JVR's emergence this post season made one of them expendable. 

Holgrem realized that they are both farging fairies and one would be miserable without the other.  Hopefully Jeff enjoys chasing around the skanks in Colombus.

JVR's emergence this post season made one of them expendable. 

first of all id love to know what jvr did that was so great this last playoffs...how many pts did he have?....carter had 6g 5a in the playoffs a few years ago and scored more pts in the regular season than reemer could ever dream of but somehow reemer is a revelation that allows the team to make stupid moves but cater is a pos...i cant wait till reemer is a full time first line nhl'er to hear what you say about him making 40 goal scorers expendable

farging moronic sports fans that throw out stupid parallels like this make me wanna punch the air out of their solarplexis

ill play the 12 year old sports fan game for a minute tho....lets say what you are saying makes any sense and if you look at the numbers it doesnt...you are just going with the made up notion that reemer was some sort of wunderkind this past offseason...but that aside lets say reemer is some sort of nhl revelation...which would be awesome if it comes true...we all agree and i hope to god it does

well then what the farg could be better than reemer the GOD - giroux - carter - richards....can you imagine your hero reemer and giroux pushing two young players as good as carter and richards down a line or two.....or would you rather have reemer the GOD - giroux - jagr - schenn

seems to me having this new found stud reemer would be an incredible thing to go with two other young guys (richards/carter) who are proven yet have faults than have a disgrceful fossil paired with a couple young guys who have done little and have faults (jagr/simmonds/voracek)

basically this would be like the eagles trading pimp and mack for TO julio jones and justin forsett

[PhillyGirl]

I see the young guys (read: JVR and Giroux) taking a step back this year as a result of this clusterfarg.

[MDS]

fail fail PASS

i dont think giroux will...hes farging legit and the real deal....but this reemer hype is outrageous and he will be exposed

[Eagles_Legendz]

JVR will be very good, he's just not ready for star status yet.

[Don Ho]

fail fail PASS

   

[Munson]

JVR flat out dominated during the playoffs this year, even when he wasn't scoring. I'm not saying he's definitely going to be the next star.....but you can't deny how farging legit he looked during the playoffs. He seemed like the only Flyer that showwed up

[Rome]

Yeah, he's done a great job.  That parade was awesome.  Unforgettable.

Jackass.

Holmgren's best move wasn't even a player transaction, it was firing Stevens and hiring Laviolette.
