Eklund saying that the jets and flyers are talking and that names like Byfuglien, Coburn, Voracek and little are coming as well as prospects...

If we trade Voracek for Byfuglien I'm going to flip my ****.

Yeah, I would hate to have to have a 25 minute defenseman who scores 50 points a season on this team. We don't need that at all.

I posted something similar to this in another thread but no one responded. I have no idea what I'm doing, so have at it. :laugh:

At the expense of a 24 year old winger coming off 46 points in 48 games who's had a slow start with a team that's playing poorly? If we trade Voracek were going to really regret it, more so than if we traded any other piece of this roster besides Giroux.

I'd love to have Byfuglien, but I'm not trading Voracek.

Wanna just combine our teams instead? We might be decent then.

Hall - Giroux - Eberle
Voracek - RNH - Lecavalier
Perron - Schenn - Simmonds
Read - Couturier - Gagner
Gordon, Talbot

Smid - Streit
Ference - Coburn
Grossmann - Schenn
Timonen, Schultz contingent, Gustafsson

Mason
Dubnyk


Yakupov, Hartnell, Hemsky, Smyth, Meszaros, Petry can be packaged for a defenseman worth a damn between the two teams.

Sounds like a plan.

Wouldn't it be better if the Flyers combined teams with the Rangers? On second thought maybe not with Nash there...

Are there any low risk, high reward type players available? It would be great if they could find this seasons Ville Leino.

I honestly don't even want Yakupov. He would cost too much & his attitude is something we don't need on this team.

I agree, he seems like someone who people will consistently question his effort. Something I don't want ANYWHERE near out team.

screw Yakupov. if a big deal is made it should be for Vanek. Yak would be a headache and probably cost more to get.

Somebody said on 97.5 today that a rumor going around is E. Kane & Byfuglien for L. Schenn, Voracek, Cousins & a pick.

My dog tells me that we aren't trading Luke without also trading Brayden--and that rumor is pretty clearly absurd. :laugh:

The ONLY way Kane comes here is in a massive blockbuster deal that sends them Giroux. We don't have much else they need--and certainly nothing that would return Kane.

There has been chatter with Winnipeg. I'd love that trade if i was Winnipeg.
That would be a no brainer for the Flyers. Kane is better than Voracek, while Schenn, Cousins, and a pick is a fleecing for Byfuglien.

Kane has already scored 30 in a season and although he didn't produce like Voracek last year, the only reason is PP production.
