I disagree with trading Richards......Carter was bound to be dealt, did not see Richards going though.

So, according to the blogs, the Leafs are working on a deal BIGGER than the Richards to LA one? Parise is the name being thrown around.....
I got mad when I heard Philly wanted Kulemin & Kadri for Richards, cause Burke clearly didn't say "yes" to it right away (which he should have), but Holmgren didn't want Richards to stay in the East.

I'm with you man. Love these moves. Richie was an awful captain. They both also had no trade clauses that comes into effect in 2012. Dump the large salaries while we could. The locker room will be a much more cohesive place. Please make Pronger captain.

Fake! Has to be....
Last I heard Tampa was close to getting a deal done with Stammer.....
1 year $11 million anyone?

it's not fake...
other philly heads will tell you if they are listening to edit: 610 wip (dont know why i said wmmr)
Philly's close to something with Stamkos....either offer sheet. or sending Schenn the first and Versteeg or Versteeg is getting moved for more cap space to offer sheet.
looking at the moves they made today it would make sense...they aquire all these picks and future players and sheding salary preparing to max out Stamkos and giving up 4 future first round picks

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that Tampa still has 8 days to sign Stamkos, and they aren't far off at all.
I just don't see Philly taking all these risks in order to have the opportunity (Which may not even come) to throw Stamkos an offer sheet. The reason why other teams are rumored to be interested in an offer sheet is because they are well below the $48 million and they can afford to offer $11 million for 1 year if Tampa doesn't sign him before July 1st.

Still shocked at this trade. Wayne Simmonds is one of my favorite players who is now going to one of my least favorite teams
I agree here. Didn't expect Richards to get traded but with those long contracts gone and how much they loved to party
Bryz is good for the yearly salary but those years are OD. Plus, I'd much rather have Brad Richards for the next 3 to 4 years in his prime (IF he gets a 5 or 6 year deal).
Quan, I don't think they'd deal Parise TBH. Not to be a homer but with the arbitrator probably siding more towards $5 to $5.5 million than the $6.5 to $7 and with the cap going up, I think they're focused on resigning him long term. I don't think Lou is trading his captain, everyone plays so much better when he's on the ice. But, I could be completely wrong.

looks like you're right cquan...
from one of the flyers writers
A #Flyers source told me they are NOT trying to get Stamkos and that any moves from here forward will be "character guys."

Saw the schedule, we open at home against Montreal- should be an amazing game
Also, apparently we are going to name Claude Noel our head coach. Seems like a good hire, he's had success everywhere he's been

Can't believe the Flyers just traded captain Mike Richards.... I can assure you Stamkos will not be leaving Tampa Bay for at least another 10 years

I missed out on all of this...but Philly must know something we don't or that locker room must not be right. Simmonds is nice, not sure about the other guys....but hey at least you Philly fans won't have to yell about your goalies anymore.
Trying to trade for Stamkos? They would have to trade everyone on that team to get him away from Tampa....

I can't stand people who are knocking these deals
exactly what has Jeff Carter ever done in the playoffs? and it's clear Richards is not a good captain
Brayden Schenn is regarded by many as the top prospect in all of hockey who is ready to come in and make an impact this year (currently drafted). Addition by subtraction, Flyers are a better team, mark my words.

Im obv a Philthadelph hater and to me theyre a better team now also... Bryz deal is backloaded... hes not playin till hes 40
Wayne Simmonds An Voracek r young STALLIONS... bet they both play with giroux
Carter n Richards r both good players... not great and often dissappear when it matters most
Good moves... rebuilt quickly and deafly

i mean the PHI deals are fine depending on who comes in. if it's just simmonds and voracek (which i doubt - i know theyve got something cooking), then i'd be pissed. as bright as the future may be...PHI wasn't FAR off from a deep run. to just dump and go into rebuild mode would annoy me.

i like it for the fact they're better in the future and also Homer signed Brzyzgalov for 5.6 mil, a proven goalie.
but.....
flyers are not a cup contending team right now...imo... you lose almost 70 goals and proven players and replace them with unknowns. and while they got more bigger and physical wings they weaker at center (short)
playing NHL 2011 all you had to do is trade Carle and Versteeg and Flyers are probably the best team on paper going into next season
i'm really on the fence with this.

Richards was non existent this year in the playoffs in '10 his only great series was against Montreal, Briere carried that team
