Richards was 4 goals away from being 7th on the team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

who said anything about Jagr and points? Carter and Richards were traded away because of "being bad in the locker room," and then the Flyers sign Jagr. Clearly that wasn't motivation if they signed Jagr to solve their locker room troubles. They chose to overpay Bryz over keeping Richards and Carter, that's what it comes down to.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yes, you're finally right about something.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what are you talking about? he was 5th on the team last year, and 2 goals behind Giroux for 3rd

:lol :lol :lol

The whole league thinks the Flyers are idiots, except Flyers fans. Hilarious.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You just paid money to Dan Carcillo.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

1 year at 1.5. great deal for the lollercaps.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yeah... and it only would have taken 2 goals from van Riemsdyk and 4 goals from Leino for him to be 7th. I'm sure next year both those guys will probably be producing 30 goals each. So Richards would have continued wasting away his time on the third line.

And as for Jagr's locker room conduct, I have no doubt that he will fit in fine and not be causing any issues. This man is playing for one reason, "to make people happy." Several articles have quoted him saying that.

Oh... right, the Flyers are the idiots.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

as for the pens, i would rather them pay 775k for asham than 1.5 for rupp, 2 for kennedy than 1.8 for talbot, and 1.5 for sullivan than 3 for jagr. shero did a good job keeping his cool and not giving in to the high market prices.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't know about Talbot... I've always thought of him as a better than average player. Maybe not skill wise, but certainly in heart, passion and intensity. I'm more than happy to see him in a Flyers uniform.

...and 3 mil might be a little much for Jagr, but then again, if he can put up at least 75+ points, it may not be. Does Sullivan have that potential?? I don't really think I'm familiar with him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawks sign one guy to a cheap, one year contract and he may not even make the team = Idiots

Flyers trade away Captain and Alternate Captain, two of their highest point getters, and replace them with an overpaid goalie for 9 years, a 39-year old who hasn't played in the NHL for 3 years, and Max Talbot = Genius

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's being a bit generous.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bonzo you sound so hurt. Calm down chief

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

im a talbot fan, but 1.8 is a pretty sizable price for the guy, 9 million is a lot for a 4th line player. on the market, a guy like kennedy could have easily gotten 3 million

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Considering they gave Carcillo 1.75 last year, this is seen as a much better deal :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

George McPhee did a great job here. Got a 1st and a 2nd and then signs Vokoun for 1.5mil. People will say he's losing out but he's going to a good team which he's never been on. He made good money the last few years.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bonzo acting like Roberto Luongo took a shit in his cereal instead of on the ice. Jesus....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Grand larceny by the Capitals.

Holy shit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

good call still can't wrap my head around that.....Fucking worst thing I have read the last 2 days.....do not want him AT ALL....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I could have gotten at least league minimum the past two days.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You'd think the Hawks signed Carcillo for 5 years and $25 mill. It's a one year deal slightly above league minimum...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Hawks are a dirty team because they employ a notoriously dirty player.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

By your logic, the Pens are the dirtiest team in the league.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Can't tell if you are serious or your sarcasm meter is broken.

Also who cares how much they paid Carcillo they still are paying him. He adds nothing to the team

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Toronto with an absolute robbery on Nashville.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

And if he adds nothing they'll just waive him, not a big deal at all. If they can reign him in it could turn out to be a great signing for this team. If he's out of control then he's gone, its not that big of an issue.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That is exactly my logic.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

actually, richards and carter will be replaced by schenn and (probably) couturier. you also seemed to have forgotten about voracek and simmonds, who between the two of them can make up for richards defensive play as well as his playmaking abilities. carcillo sucke, leino was inconsistent, and powe is no different than any other gritty 4th line center.

again, carter move was great, richards one not so much, but we've gotten a shit ton back in return.


the flyers FO is more comfortable with JVR and Giroux being the future of the team instead Carter and Richards. can't say i hate that decision.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Schenn still has some growing to go, but yeah he's nasty. Can't say I agree on Voracek or Simmonds, especially simmonds. Can totally agree on JVR and Giroux though, they made the right choice on that.
