who is on your wish list ?

fire_bettman · 04-19-2007, 11:18 PM

who do you realistically think we should go after this off season? we should have about 18 - 20 mil to spend.. obviously we desperately could use rafalski but thats probably not going to happen. no way we should be stupid and overpay any were close to 6 mil plus for timmonen or 7 mil for gomez

my wish list is:

fwd:
chris drury. great leader, playoff performer.. buffalo will probably have to choose between him and briere

bill guerin. this team needs a veteran scorer to take some pressure of all the youth. guerin seams to be the guy w/ the most left in the tank

fodetenko would be nice, he is a ufa and w/ the cap problems tampa has they probably wont resign him.. brad richards will probably be available but we shouldnt touch that contract w/ a 10 foot pole

maybe see what handzus is looking for in dollars and years.. a checking line of zus, richards and kapenan would be pretty solid and he would be our best face off man by far

defense. sheldon souray or markov from montreal. souray is a little suspect in his own end but this move would kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone. he would add instant toughness to our blue line and would greatly improve our power play. i dont think the habs will let markov go but if he is out there july 1st we have to make a move on him

if we go after a 2nd tier defenseman i would mind them taking a look at dave hannan on the sharks

Daniel Briere, Kimo Timinoen from Nashville, Sheldon Souray, Scott Gomez, Chris Drury.

I'd stay away from Fedotenko if I were the Flyers. All the other names I agree with though.

Love your username by the way. So true. That guy has been majority of the reason our sport has lost popularity in the last 15 years.

obviously you wont get an argument from me on that. he has totally ruined the sport for true hardcore fans and made it into a laughing stock trying to woody up to the "casual fan "

rumors are Tampa Bay wants to trade 1 of it's 3 stars. I'll trade the 2nd pick and Pitkanen for any one of Richards, Lecavilier, or St. Louis.

fire_bettman · 04-24-2007, 10:26 AM

richards contract is for over 8 mil a year waaaay to much for him

all4phillysportsfan · 04-24-2007, 11:18 AM

send Hatcher or Kapanen in the deal so the salaries could come close to matching.

fire_bettman · 04-24-2007, 11:48 PM

that wont get it done they want to shed salary. probably looking for prospects or picks

all4phillysportsfan · 04-25-2007, 08:20 AM

Do not give up Downey or Giroux. Those 2 players will be stars in a few years.

fire_bettman · 04-25-2007, 10:28 AM

i allways liked brad richards but that salary is a killer. the only guy i would be interested from tampa is lacavlier but i cant see them trading him esp to a conference rival

all4phillysportsfan · 04-25-2007, 09:52 PM

Hey it's happened before with Lindros

fire_bettman · 04-25-2007, 10:32 PM

but it wasnt lindros of 97 vintage lol

all4phillysportsfan · 04-26-2007, 03:02 AM

I guess we'll see what Tampa Bay decides to do. That was the best deal out there and Clarke took it even though it was in the same division. All GM's are different when it comes to that stuff.

fire_bettman · 04-26-2007, 10:48 PM

the last tampa playoff game fodentko dressed but saw 0 minutes of ice time

all4phillysportsfan · 04-27-2007, 08:12 AM

I'll take him over what we have now.
