Hamhuis have always been under the shadow of Weber and Suter in Nashville but he is a very solid defensman. Good trade by the Flyers in my opinion as they got one of the most coveted D in this free agent class.

Traded for the rights to negotiate for Hamhuis, but very likely he will sign with them unless he is an a-hole. And I was hoping my Nucks would get him

They did this with Hartnell and Timonen as well... Hamhuis will likely sign with PhillyComment -
Yeah Good Move by the flyers hereComment -
when i got word of this yesterday i was (and still am) elated beyond words.
DG knows as well as a few other regulars here: that phucker, parent was on cecils chitlist for a long, long time

Flyers keep cleaning up on nashville. Very good move. That D just got a whole lot better. Best top 5 d men in the laegue. Now time to get a goalie.

Nice move by the Flyers... NOW lets look to get a goalie...Comment -
Haha yeah I remember you bitching about Parent a few times. I still have slight hope that Hamhuis shafts you guys and signs with his home province CanucksOriginally posted by cecil127when i got word of this yesterday i was (and still am) elated beyond words.

odds are not good of this happening unfortunately. You guys have good enough D already. Ours is a mess and we could use a physical, stay at home D-man like Hammy.

well, that deal sure speaks to his worth. by that i mean: this guy gets traded for simply the right to entertain another with offers to play for the team you just got booted from.
yea n'ville, good luck with that ding-dong

Who cares.. Still can't touch the HAWKSSSSSSSComment -
Enjoy the cup glory while it lasts. See ya later Sharp and Campbell though thanks to the cap issues they have.Originally posted by Donkwin47Comment -
agreeeeeeed! but still a good move for the flyersOriginally posted by Donkwin47Comment -
not a bad move...Comment -
trades are always funComment -
Do you think they'll sign him... Rumor is they're way off in contract talks????Comment -
its all part of the bargaining. he will sign in philly. he loves the idea of being there.Originally posted by KACKComment -
Doesn't look like he will sign in Philly. The Flyers just traded his rights to Pittsburgh for a 3rd round pick in 2011.Comment -
Yup he won't be signing in Philly. Time to shaft the Pens please Hammy and come to Vancouver, where you wanna play The elure of Crosby, Malkin et al and all those Stanley Cup banners might sway him though. Then again he would have to play Philly many times a year and endure some harsh booing
Comment -
Do you think he is worth north of 4.5 million per season? He's solid defensively, but not shutdown. He picks up assists, but doesn't have a good shot. I don't know.Comment -
Nah I'd say he is worth around 3 - 4 or so. I wouldn't pay $5 mill a year for him.Originally posted by MetalheadComment -
He already turned down 4 million in Philly. He also said he was going to test free agency. But he might give a hometown discount to Vancouver and sign there for 4 million. The boo birds in Philly would be real loud.Comment -
Yup I have a feeling he is gonna shaft the Pens too and sign with the Canucks. I think that's where he wants to be. I expect around a 4-4.5 mill deal with them maybe slightly less.Originally posted by MetalheadComment -
At 4.5 Vancouvers cap hit would be at about 54.8 million.Comment -
It would also be their 8th defencemen under contract. Maybe they would try and move Salo?Comment -
The Canucks can't afford him. They still need to add 5 more roster players, and have less than 8.5 million to do it with (2-3.5 million of which will likely go to re-signing Mason Raymond).Comment -
HAMMY!!!!! Loving the look of my Nucks D next year.Originally posted by DennisGreenTraded for the rights to negotiate for Hamhuis, but very likely he will sign with them unless he is an a-hole. And I was hoping my Nucks would get him

You were saying?Originally posted by OTL People forget that we have a lot of dead weigh on the back end making 3 mill a year aka Bieksa. I am pretty sure he will be traded now.

Hmmm, just saw the newsOriginally posted by DennisGreenYou were saying? People forget that we have a lot of dead weigh on the back end making 3 mill a year aka Bieksa. I am pretty sure he will be traded now.
So that's 9 defenseman the Canucks have on contract now. Gillis is going to be screwed if he can't find takers for all that dead weight.
