Merci Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You're a homer. Theres no signs that point to Couturier not being able to be a first line center. The kid is an absolute stud in the making. Grossman/Mezaros are a step down from Edler, but better than letting Edler walk for nothing at the end of the season. That late first is still a first, and you never know where it will be. Last year phillys was in the early 20's. and I will say again, that franchise goalie and franchise defenseman are a goalie we are trying to get rid of with a horrid contract and a d man who is a pending UFA. Still dont like the deal? Add Scott Laughton. there, fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Absolutely. I literally feel happier in my everyday life, ever since the CBA news on Sunday. The Lu drama was gravy, but today's Burke news has poured glorious gasoline on the whole situation at the perfect time. I love the anxiety, and I honestly will confess that I have no clue what will happen. There's still a part of me that thinks Schneider could be shipped for a huge return.

DIBdaQUIB Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 DId anyone else hear Nonis answer the question about Luongo by saying he wasn't allowed to comment on "pending transactions"? It may be nothing but that seems to be a slip up as the question was in regards to any negotiations. "Pending transaction" would imply a deal is done, pending the ratification of the CBA. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Luongo, Edler & Raymond, for: Schenn bros, Simmonds & a 1st(pending on Edler signing). We'd be younger, a little bigger & tougher. Come after LA with some familiar weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It would be a mistake to trade Edler. You don`t replace a 50 point defenseman very easily. Which is why every team in the league would be clamouring over him. For the amount that he`ll likely cost to re-sign, it isn`t worth it to trade him.

DIBdaQUIB Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I thought that too. But that might be reading into it too much. I think someone asked him if a deal for Luongo had already been completed. And he simply said that he didn`t speak about impending deals. Which is basically no comment.

JustJokinen! Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why is everyone trying to trade Edler now? Is he this year's Bieksa/Raymond/Ballard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just don't see Edler wanting to leave Van with a 64 mill cap hit, why wouldn't he take the 5 mil we'd give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Deniro, appreciate what you're saying-think he's a brilliant player-but he's also had back issues, & been inconsistent over a few PO seasons. Lastly, hits hard, but not especially nasty. Luke Schenn also has issues, & is also young. Believe he's a righty too? Might pair nicely with Garrison, who could compensate for some of Edler's offense. We'd also have an extra couple mill in cap. Maybe 1 more deal, to get 1 more D-man...

TmanVan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Heres a crazy thought. If Philly wants Luongo, Toronto still needs a goalie, and Van just wants the best return possible how about..... Lou to Philly, Bryzgalov and Van 2nd to Toronto, Gardiner and Couturier to Vancouver. Philly gets Lou for Couturier straight up, which they would probably do Vancouver gets the best pieces offered from either teams (better than Gardiner+Kadri, better than Couturier +Grossman) Which leaves Toronto.... would they give up Gardiner to take on Bryzgalov's contract? the second is compensation for that.. but this trade would still come down to them accepting it or not.

JustJokinen! Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Because he hasn`t re-signed yet, and he might leave us, so lets dump him before he can dump us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
