Flyers Trade Carter and Richards WTF

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

Not sure what the fukk is going on in PHI, but fans can expect their team to miss the playoffs this season.

there is zero reason to believe they will make the playoffs.

completely predictable. scared of losing points! can't back up anything at all that was written! so many air bettors here...

[jose21_us]

Hey DG what you think about the panthers now after a whole revamp of the team?

I'm shocked at how active the Panthers have been but they've made some good moves and may just be able to sneak into the playoffs. My main concern with them is their goaltending now that Vokoun is gone.

[jose21_us]

Ya that scumbag thought we were going to pay him more money... He didnt do anything down here... We were last place before he got here and last place with him here.... Vokoun also blew so many games in the shootout in the last 2 years it makes me sick to my stomach... I like the move bringing in Theodore. Even though Theodore is just a 1-2 year plan till we bring up the stud they have in the minors.

I wont be in shock if we make the playoffs and Booth and Weiss have a breakout year.

update: keyboarding is still a loudmouth who completely abandoned his position when asked to put his points where his mouth is.

-shocking-

you could just admit you don't believe what you wrote and I would have left it at that.

Bitch I'm flowing straight from the Survivor Scrolls.

[stevek173]

Ok you two hug it out.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

I offered a reasonable wager based on his silly blathering. Since he chooses not to take it, I certainly can mock him for being a little bitch.

[cecil127]

Apparently it was more than partying. Lets just say women of very important people where involved. It was a case of get rid of them or it turns into the playboy manison and the house of horrors all in one building.

jeeez, still rewinding and playing the lindros/brind'amour story , eh? hahahaha. juicy story that never gets old in the flyers locker room....i think its their (phillys talking heads) "go to" reason for all the moves the flyers make. lets hear it agian aggieboy....and this time use more adjectives

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

update: keyboard is still a bloated, cowardly windbag. never knew there were so many faux tough guys here.

[AzNDooM]

Phillie made smart move by trading in for some youth and prospect picks. Was a smart move but not a popular one obviously.

Your thoughts ain't my thoughts.

[cecil127]

hey, asiandoon, got an update on last years mlb play of the day? jumping on us midship after donating pts to your azz kinda erks me if we can be honest here....

[OTL]

I thought Richards would be a Flyer for his career. This trade absolutely shocked me... Dumping Carter didn't come as a big surprise however. That guy is a cream puff.

[Ethan]

They are from what I hear

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

Not sure what the fukk is going on in PHI, but fans can expect their team to miss the playoffs this season.

Until we see how they replace their top two offensive stars, a hurt and ageing Pronger, and how Bryzgalov plays after signing a long-term big money contract, there is zero reason to believe they will make the playoffs.

where is this h0m0? thanks for bumping this thread. I almost forgot about this pansy who was too cowardly to wager points on his predictions here.

Never fukking heard of you, pal.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

Never fukking heard of you, pal.

yet you sure came running into this thread to offer up that comment, didn't you? weird that you never heard of a guy you PM'ed multiple times about not making this bet when I bugged you there.

(it's ok, in the end, we both know that you know you'll be wrong-hence why you never took the measly points wager )

I saw someone had posted in this thread when I went to the My Posts link in my console. Hardly running, pal.

And you messaged me, I replied twice. You have an issue with exaggeration. Probably some kind of inferiority complex.

And I still haven't fukking heard of you.

Quoting yourself to prove your own stupid point?

bruce,

theres so shame in being never fukkin heard of pal.

-glitch

PS- how is what keyboarding is saying wrong?? are you related to gagne or sell steroids to pronger or you just live in philly or what? he was just commenting on how much the flyers lost- which is obviously a lot. it iS way less likely they make the playoffs next year.

you do realize that the flyers are a top 6 favorite on futures to win the cup right? yet you are talking playoffs.

Sometimes the books aren't always right. I will gladly accept reasonable odds from you.

whoa buddy i said LESS likely. 100 percent chance down to 96.1% or so but im a fan with a bias opinion. they're a good team with great fans and versatile contributors but you dont feel the team was hurt by these moves??

I don't disagree, but this is a league where over half the teams make the playoffs. which is why keyboard backed down from his silly predictions almost as soon as he made them. it's amazing how fast some of these people back down from a stated position as soon as something as trivial as a points wager is offered.

[Glitch]

yeah thats a very good point about so many teams making it.

[OTL]

Not going to make the playoffs this year... Takes a lot more than great goaltending to make it... And in todays NHL, investing a lot into a netminder hurts when it comes to icing a competitive team.

points wager?

[DennisGreen]

Flyers will still make the playoffs. The 6-8 seeds in the East are weak as fcuk every year.

[stevek173]

"That had to make coach Peter Laviolette pleased. Laviolette instituted a “Dry Island,” the name of a pledge in which he asked his players to stop drinking for a month. Richards and Carter repeatedly declined to take part in the pledge over the past two years—and were traded the same day."

I could see this conversation happening -

Richie: Lavvy is on me about this Dry Island shit again
Carter: I know me too **** that I'm not doing it we carry this ******* team. Wtf are they gonna do trade us both?
Richie: Same here. **** that they would never do it.

[Jackson Hole]

Flyers will be a top 5 eastern conference team. JVR will net 35 plus.

[aznbluff]

Flyers definitely are still one of the better teams in the East

Their FW depth has taken a little bit of a hit but it is still a strong point on the team. Probably top 5 in the East still.

In my mind, they upgraded their top line replacing Leino with Jagr. Couturier will most likely not be on the roster for opening night, but Brayden Schenn is ready. That kid is really one of the top prospects in hockey, if not the top. He won't put up big numbers as he probably wont even get PP2 time during much of the year but he will be a solid contributor at ES, giving some of the tough minutes. I could also see him slotting into PK2 time. They improved by adding Talbot (although a bit overpaid) as he's one of the best 4th liners out there.

They invited Nylander to camp, but I don't think he'll stick; these are my projected lines:

Hartnell-Briere-Jagr
JVR-Giroux-Voracek
Read-Schenn-Simmonds
Talbot-Holmstrom-Nodl

Their D is still one of the best corps in the league. Pronger will be a big part of it but not as much as in the past (still their #1, but will likely miss a bit of time at the start of the year). Ice time was slowly passed down to Carle, Coburn, and Meszaros. This really fits in with their long term goals of getting younger, which is one of the driving forces for the Richards/Carter deals. Timonen wil be extremely solid as always.

Bryzgalov is overpaid and overrated. He is an average starting goalie in the league. That puts him around top 15, which is decent and really all you need from a goalie, but they paid him like he's top 3. Big overpayment but definitely a big upgrade at the same time.

Overall, I think 2011-2012 Flyers will be more balanced, slightly slighty better than last years version. They need some of their additions to be able to eat some of the tougher minutes that Richards was. Talbot probably slides into PK1, hopefully for them Simmonds can play PK2. JVR should progress (but not as much as everyone thinks, he will never be at the level of, say, a Bobby Ryan) 25-30 would be reasonable and quite good from James. Giroux will be a force and needs to be played power on power with the other team's best lines in my opinion.
