|  Flyers should pick up....
Adam Graves. Let's face it - for a playoff run the team needs someone in the locker room with some leadership if Primeau and JR are not going to be around - and he probably comes CHEAP! | | | | No Longer Embarrased

If JR's gone for good (which I doubt) the Flyers should go after Brind'Amour. Insurance would pick up whatever was left of JR's contract and Roddy makes 3.5 mil less anyways. Shores up the middle a bit more, gives us a defensive forward if Primeau doesn't take the paycut to stay. Couldn't hurt to try to get O'Neill too though, especially to replace JR's offense. | | | | Thoresen dropper NHL-spil

| WHAT!!!!
Hey everyone I am new to this type online fan membership so I hope that this experience will be a good one I have some suggestions for the flyers on who they should pick up seeing as I have been a flyers fan for about 5 years after I left being a dejected leafs fan.
As for you guys saying they should pick up Brind I think that would be a mistake he is a has been loser if you were goin to pick him up why not just go after someone crazy like Kelly Buchburger thar wild and crazy vet lol.
I have also noticed by reading some of the other postings that there can be some rivalry between flyers fans and I would have to say that Blindsides remarks about getting rid of my favorite player Brashear I am not impressed he is the conor stone of this team you need someone to be the enforcer and someone to try to protect your stars though we have a lack of stars right now after getting rid of Comerie for Burke ah man any thanks for letting me be a member  | | | | Senior Member

| Welcome to the forum. I don't agree with Blindy about Brash either, but I'd hardly call him a cornerstone for any franchise. The man is a goon, plain and simple.
As for Brind'Amour, I would love to see him back in a Flyers uni, although I think his best years are behind him.

Brash is only a goon when he actually fights. When he isn't fighting, he doesn't do anything positive for the team. He can't skate, he falls down trying to hit people and he's a bonehead when he gets the puck. Fedoruk is a more willing fighter and plays with a lot of intensity when Hitch gives him a shift. He might not play with all that much skill, but he's paid to score punches not goals. | | | | Senior Member

I agree, but Brashear has been a lot more productive then Fridge. Fridge has shown some skill as of late when given the chance. Neither are great puck handlers or scorers for that matter, but it nice to have some insurance if one goes down due to injury. We don't have the luxury of calling up Boulerice anymore. | | | | BAI.

I'd take Brindy anyday. A good checker, one of the top face-off men in the league, and if put in the right situation could probably score at least 20-30 goals a season.

IF he is put in the RIGHT situation, he could PROBABLY score at least 20-30 goals a season.
Thats rich.. IF anybody in the NHL was put in the RIGHT situation, they could PROBABLY score 20-30 goals as well.
Let's forget about old man Brind'Amour.. please... Why does everyone one this forum want the flyers average age to be like 37???
I agree that Comrie is the player we needed, need, and need for the future!
And I also agree with BrashearRulz that he is a valuble part of our team! I maybe wouldn't go as far as cornerstone, but who is the cornerstone.. Mushbrain Roenick?  | | | | Banned

This team isn't built for winning in 5 years, it's built to make a Cup run now and I'd be happy with a Cup now followed by a few years of rebuilding. This year is possibly our last year for a while to give a strong kick at the proverbial can. Pick up the missing pieces, fill some holes with hard-working vets and get a frickin blue-collar d-man that will clear the low slot and go into the corners. Quote: Originally posted by flyersphan

| Ya, we needed a small, soft forward that goes on scoring streaks every now and then more than we needed a bona fide back-up once Hack-job went down. Not to mention that you always like to dismiss the fact that we picked up 2 young wingers with size and work ethic which is something alot of our players lack. Radivojevic, while not a blue-chip young player, filled a hole on the 3rd line. Eager meanwhile is a big, mean power forward with some decent hands. Sounds like a younger version of Thornton or Bertuzzi. But ya, I guess we needed Comrie more than them. I mean, he may not have been scoring but he was at least distracting some of the opposing d-men while he skated circles around the attacking zone without actually doing anything. He belongs in the West, he's there now, leave it alone. Clarke's building a winner. We're in 1st in the East. Not 4th or 5th like last season, but 1st. I'd say he's doing a pretty good job thus far. | | | | H4-H6 Designer

FYI: Just before the Zhamnov signing, Al Morganti was talking about Brind'Amour. Apparently, the Flyers made a trade offer to Carolina for Brindy, which Carolina accepted. Brind'Amour, was approached by the Canes management to OK the deal, as he has a no-trade clause in his contract.
Morganti reported that Brind'Amour killed the trade as he didn't want to go back to Philly.
Sort of makes me wonder why, in the latter stages of his career, he wouldn't want to go to a contender. Perhaps he just likes living in the Carolina area with his family?
Who knows... I just thought it was interesting. | | | | Banned

Probably he has his family established in Carolina and the 'Canes organization takes care of its players well. The terms on which he left Philly might have something to do with it as well, but who knows the real story there?  | | | | Senior Member

If he is put in the right situation (i.e. on the Flyers), he will produce at least 20-30 goals a season. How's that sound?
And about Brashear, what has he done for us lately? Scored a goal every 10 games or so? Gotten into a fight once in a long while? He barely hits, he doesn't stick up for anybody, and he can't skate.
And no, Roenick is not the corner stone of the team. If anything, it's Primeau, although I don't think the Flyers have a corner stone; they use all 4 lines fairly equally.
