AlaskaFlyerFan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 that is the most realistic idea i have read....though i hate giving up draft picks....but i guess it is better than giving up our younger players.Bob will, more than likely, be part of the trade package. They won't carry 3 goalies, and Bob would have to pass through waivers. That's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzFlyer Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I imagine that's because the Flyers don't have the other two. Either way, I think the comparison is valid.So what could we get for Bob? A second round pick? Others here are trading JVR for Schneider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 So what could we get for Bob? A second round pick? Others here are trading JVR for Schneider!A 23 yr old goaltender with 72 NHL starts? Valuable, whether the organization acts like it or not (Bryz contract again...). Some of the fans kind of hate on JVR, and underestimate his value at times.

Some of the fans kind of hate on JVR, and underestimate his value at times.So regardless of what you think he "may be" you're ok with him banking 4.25mill for one 40pt season????So get some value back for him now...before everyone realizes he's WAY OVERPAID!

BobDailey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, Giggy is the best option if Colorado would part with him, but they are in the playoff hunt so would they risk Varlamov as their starter without a proven backup? I can see Bob for Giggy with us throwing in a draft pick (not a first) He is only at 1.25 mill so the dollars are about equalNothing else works without major disruption. Bob & Giggy are FA at the end of the season, JSG is UFA I dont know if Bob if RFA Edited February 27, 2012 by BobDailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 P.S. Giggy, Giggy, GiggyGet it done, homer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 LOL, Eklund talking about Nash going to SJ, Vancouver or Nashville...From more reputable sources, Nash will not waive his NTC to go to a Western team. He wants to be in the East.But at this time of year, it's pretty much like throwing darts while blindfolded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillygrump Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 @brelicWhich is exactly what Eklund does.He's intentionally vague and the he backtracks. But hey, its fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStraw Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) According to the source, the Flyers are willing to package Bobrovsky as part of a deal that could include left wing James van Riemsdyk, depending on the goalie.The Flyers are believed to be eyeing Nikolai Khabibulin of the Edmonton Oilers, Jean-Sebastien Giguere of the Colorado Avalanche...If Homer trades Bob and JVR for either of those guys, he should be fired immediately.

xganarchy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Any way we could convince Bryz to waive his NMC to go to Toronto? They need a "#1 goalie" (haha) and love the big names. Bryz/Zolnierczyk for Schenn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You don't want to see what he can do for an extended period of being healthy and decent linemates?after today (trade deadline) he'll go back to coasting until the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 it's worth noting, that when he plays hungry, I really enjoy his game, I really do. I think it's misunderstood when someone says they are willing to trade JVR that it means they don't like him or think he's a bust. Personally I've been trumpeting my willingness to see him traded but that's only because I believe he's an expendable piece on a team that has needs and could use him as avaluable bargaining chip.The way I see it though, unless the Flyers were getting some serious value in return, I'd just hold onto JVR.

Mad Dog Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Something is cooking and cooking hot. Just heard from someone I know Homer and his team has been actively on the phone basically since 7 AM, mainly with 3 teams: Colorado, Vancouver and Columbus. A 3-way deal is a real possibility. Edmonton and Tampa are also mentioned. No furtehr details but stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
