Rumor: Flyers interested in Dennis Rasmussen

[Ryker]

Vancouver has the Sedin sisters selling the team to Rasmussen

Not to mention the Swedish goalie tandem

Yeah, good luck with that.
"hey, here's a train wreck destined to miss the playoffs for another few years until we retire and the team can rebuild".

Dennis Rasmussen will make a decision on next season by June 15, per SMP. Has NHL and KHL offers but unlikely to choose KHL.

edit: Ah, beat me to it.

That's my birthday. A promising free agent signing would be a nice birthday gift from Hextall & Co.

Wouldn't be the first time. Guys aren't worried about the success of the team, they're looking for the best opportunity and thus be part of the solution.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

yeah if Rasmussen is looking for guaranteed playing time he likely may not get that in Philly. likely could get that in Vancouver.

 

[Ryker]

Well, it seems 20 pages of people dreaming up lineups including him in the roster have gone to waste:

Doesn't matter, he was only on the 4th line... not a loss at all.

Hextall sucks as GM. Can't even sign Dennis Rasmussen. NEXT!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Must have been because of the way we treated Gustafsson

Yeah..what the hell. Holmgren would have had no problem doing so

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Could have also been Richards/Carter trades, or possibly the Weber offer-sheet.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Yeah..what the hell. Holmgren would have had no problem doing so

Holmgren would have signed him. He signed Raffl, remember?

 

[Bryz4shiz]

I read Swedish, that article says "Rasmussen hates the Chicago Blackhawks"

 

[Prongo]

After the report last night nothing has come out to say it was definite. He even say he couldn't comment so it might have been a premature announcement.

[GKJ]

I guess the Sedins couldn't convince him
