The_Admiral Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Even with the 2010 Finals, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Flyers, so I hope they do get Stamkos. Plus, it screws over Christ Yzerman, so I like that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Wonder if it's Brad Richards? Need that playmaker, Stamkos isn't one. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 the Flyers aren't allowed to sign Stamkos to an offer sheet because they don't have the right qualifying draft picks to give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So now Ryan Smyth is possibly going to end up in Calgary, closest he'll get to Edmonton. So what was the point of firing Sutter? JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So now Ryan Smyth is possibly going to end up in Calgary, closest he'll get to Edmonton. So what was the point of firing Sutter?He has a NTC, if he doesnt want to go to Calgary he wont go there. Apparently theyre still talking to Edmonton too.

I hope he only waves to Edmonton, joining Ryan Whitney as the only guy happy to be playing in Edmonton. We're supposed to ridding ourselves of old players and their contracts. Granted Smyth can still produce.Well either way Ryan will be in Alberta next year. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 A couple of comments:The Sharks play the Capitals twice now 3 years running. Just curious, what determines who you play twice from the other conference?(I'm not complaining though, the Sharks have one loss to the Caps since '99)Also for the 4th straight year, the Sharks host the Blackhawks the night before Thanksgiving.

oddball Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Kings aren't really gonna miss Simmonds he's at best a 2nd/3rd liner. Brayden Schenn though that may hurt.I agree with you on Simmonds. The thing that's going to piss Philly fans off about Simmonds, is that he takes games off. He basically disappeared this year, so unless he decides to play like he did the first couple of years, Philly better hope that Schenn turns out to be a #1, otherwise they got royally screwed. Richards isn't going to be the #1 center in LA, so whatever the Kings get from him will better anything that Simmonds and Schenn would have given them. Also understand that Schenn is 2-3 years from being an impact player and the Kings are looking to go deep into the playoffs and need an experienced top-notch 2nd line center to go behind Kopitar. I'm sorry but Jarret Stoll is a good faceoff guy, but can't hit an open net during a game. In a shootout, there is no one better, but put other players on the ice, and the guy is one of the worst shooters that can't come close to hitting the net. So make Stoll a #3 center that worries about faceoffs and the Kings become stronger. Yet, they still have a hole on left wing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Going to Columbus should kill Jeff Carter's nightlife interests. Never stopped Mike Commodore or for that matter, Jake Voracek.From what I've heard, Carter is not happy right now. I guess I wouldn't be either no matter where I was going. When you sign a 38 year extension with a no trade clause you kinda assume that you're not going anywhere. He can't be happy about coming to the characterless "one big suburb" that is Columbus, Ohio either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think today's events are going to cost the Flyers a lot of goodwill, and maybe they ought to. Trading your captain and the guy you just gave a big extension/NTC are highly unorthodox moves. I guess Richards is taking it okay, because he got to go to LA, but I don't begrudge Carter anything. If he refused to report, I wouldn't blame him one bit. Wasting away in a backwater is not what he signed up for. And I thought the Blackhawks had a topsy-turvy summer last year. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Trading your captain and the guy you just gave a big extension/NTC are highly unorthodox moves.By the end of the year Richards separated himself from the coach and his teammates, and most were looking to Pronger instead. Now that everyone is on the same page and Pronger will be the new captain, things should get back to normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Which all has to do with the circus displacing the Bulls and Blackhawks at the end of November every year. Daytime hockey is neat! As lame as I thought it was that the Hawks had to play a home game in Finland, it was cool to watch hockey at 11 a.m. on a weekday. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that everyone is on the same page and Pronger will be the new captain, things should get back to normal...The Flyers trade away captains on a regular basis. Give Ed Snider credit - while he hasn't been successful in 35 years, the dude tries as hard as anyone. Good will doesn't matter in this day and age of sports. Ed's one of the most loyal (to a fault) guys out there, but if you cross him, you're F'd. He's a lot like the Steinbrenner of hockey, just without the rings (which is certainly a huge distinction.)I don't think Pronger will be the captain. He doesn't need it, and I don't think he wants it. My guess is Briere. I don't want to diminish the magnitude of these deals - these guys (brought up along with former coach John Stevens) were the "cornerstones" of the franchise. Too bad they basically partied their way out of town.
