I hate you!

I understand now. I actually decided to take my reading skills for a spin

This takes us back to that morality standard Flyer fans hold dear. Oscar is a good guy and a hero for his battle. And for that, the Flyers get skewered for moving him. The fact that he probably isn't a part the future, and is at best a 4th line guy, is dismissed as irrelevant. Personally, I would much rather have the 2nd leading scorer, and legit mvp candidate, than a fantastic human interest story You can't win with a roster full of bottom six players who are nice guys

If JG comes to Philly, it may be because he's choosing destination over money. But I agree, they have to clear more space

I'm shocked by this admission

Cmon now. That's still a classy move. I admire OL too, but this is a business

What are the odds?

Who "they" ?

Mrs. X works for an airline. I would get that fool a plane tix....in fact I will call her right now and have her check flight status to ANYWHERE!

I do think Lindblom will be come a cap casualty, even if its not for JG. They have to get rid of JVR, and there is no way to do this without giving up some kind of assets. Im not saying Lindblom and JVR will be a package, but possibly separate moves with the same objective If somehow, Scott Laughton was traded to make room for JG, I would take an immediate vacation so I could swim in an oasis of bourbon

@flyercanuckDoesn't mean it won't work in this case

What if he offloads assets that clear the space?

I dont know what's goes. I'm not nearly smart enough to even guess. But I have to believe JVR is a major cog. I find the Deangelo signing curious, with non word on Ellis. I'm now thinking Eliis is done. You know better than me how that works I think there will a player ot two that will be involved that are going to make our little forum hyperventilate.

If they can clear cap, yes!

The fact that he could play for his favorite team near home has no bearing, eh?

I dont care if he's Wundermutt. If he puts up 80 to 100 pts a season, he better than anyone on the roster

I think there is definitely something happening in line with this statement If it happens, mass hysteria will prompt the development of a forum lynch mob. Im looking forward to it

@mojo1917 I felt the same thing, a topic if it's own "flyers morality standard" or something...maybe one of those with the magic it skills will intervene I completely forgot Vick, even though he was in my mind when I was formulating my thoughts. A great point I'm not saying I particularly like DeAngelo. When I saw the story on TV, I thought he was a dick. But he had a good season in CAR and if he does the same this season, I think fans will warm to him. I just shake my head when you have a team this bad, you don't want a guy who can help you get better, because you don't like him....and you've never met him

I'm so easily manipulated

You dangled the shiny toy (NAK) in front of my face. You knew I'd bite I'm a fish named Fletcher

I wonder if other fanbases have such a strict morality standard for their teams' players? We live in a society where sports figures can be rapists, involved in homicides, and all manner of other malfeasance, and still make it to their respective HOF. I'm of the opinion that Eric Lindros was most likely an assshole, but if he was in his prime, I dont think the Flyer fanbase would want him on the team I dont really care about DeAngelos personality, Or Torts propensity to act like a dick. Right now I only care if they can help this team be more interesting to watch

Yeah, getting rid of NAK was a huge mistake. We all knew he would win a cup someday. Only move worse than this was getting rid of 3x cup winner Pat Maroon

oh i believe everything your typing. its the manner you are typing it that has me scratching my head
