Tangerines Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I would trade Edler for Couturier and a 1st in a nano second. Looks like Philly could also use a goalie. Blockbuster maybe? Edler Luongo Raymond 2013 2nd for Couturier 2013 1st Coburn Read Is that fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Are you trying to compare Weber to Edler? If I said that because Erhoff was let go and Pahlsson was also let go it means that obviously want to spend money on puck moving defenceman or Swedes, would that make sense? Obviously if Gillis re-signs Edler he won't be traded. People suggesting he would be signed then traded are ridiculous unless they mentioning that as part of the new CBA where teams can retain cap or salary.

ConnorFutureGM Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's clearly going over your head. He's not comparing the 2, he was supporting his statement about philly being in dire need of a defense upgrade by pointing that Holmgren is notorious for putting his money where his mouth is. How is that not blatantly obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Edler for Brayden Schenn. I wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eretz canucks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 this above trade is pretty even for both teams, my preference would be to resign elder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You are the one missing the point friend. Holgrem wants an elite elite defenceman to replace Pronger. Edler is not that. They aren't going to mortgage their future for a UFA #3 defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 /\ This is true. Flyers need a top-pairing D-man desperately. That said, I doubt we'd be able to pry Couturier out of them. They'll need to send back more salary too. Also, expecting a Ballard buy-out, so we'll definitely need another defenseman. Coburn + 1st would seem more likely. And that's only at the beginning of the season. If it's just negotiating rights, don't expect much more than what Hamhuis and Ehrhoff were fetching when they were being passed around pre-July 1st.

eretz canucks Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 That was actually a proposal I made a while ago and would way rather do that. I used gaunce because of the strong opinions on Philly not willing to give up couturier for edler. Gaunce fills the role of what SC would leave much better for them in the future than Schroeder would and is a more enticing and fair option considering Edlers ufa status. This is more me giving in a little bit more in fake negotiation with the hard liners saying no way Philly does it. What do you think about this deal connorfuturegm? If you are Philly and pretty sure you can sign edler would you consider this deal or do you think you can get better option elsewhere without giving up a bluechip for your future on defense?

thad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The Flyers refused to trade one of Schenn or Couturier for Weber. He isn't going to trade Couturier for Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 They were asking for a hell of a lot more than just couturier of course they said no. I presented a fair trade that makes sense for both teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Not only will they not want to trade Couturier because he's a big part of their future, he is also cheap. Schnieder, Gaunce, 1st FOR Getzlaf Would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnorFutureGM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Not a chance, that isn't a very good comparison. For one, we do not need a 1st or 2nd line center therefore we do not need to consider moving key assets for a glaring hole we do not have. Now lets say henrik mysteriously vanishes, Daniel can't find him anywhere then maybe you gotta look at something like that. Definitely not getzlaf who's been on a serious downward spiral in the last while. Ok then knowing holmgrens habits, how do you see him fixing his backend with a long term core addition.

ConnorFutureGM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Jonas Hiller says hi. No reason why either team would do this, also a vast underpayment for Schneider. Unless we can work out some kind of blockbuster with Anaheim to bring Perry over as well I don't see this deal happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
