locker room issues. team has been poised for the stanley cup the past few seasons and hasn't done anything. time for a new direction.

they cleared $11 million in cap space today and bryz only took 5.6. look for another big sign, brad richards maybe.

Of course he'll be a Leaf. Just like every major FA/possible guy being traded will be a Leaf... until they go elsewhere.

Hey it's not just Carter. "Nash is a Leaf! Ontario kid, big Leaf fan growing up, and why would he stay in Columbus when he can play for God's gift to hockey for more money?!" Maybe some guys don't want to play for an organization that has had little success this decade with media who know your meal and price of dinner 365 days of the year.

who the frick are you quoting? I have never said anything like that...Nash is a stud, and he was a huge Leaf fan growing up but so are half the players in the NHL.

I'm not talking about you specifically, I'm talking about Leafs fans in general who claimed Nash was going to Toronto when he was a FA, yet stayed in Columbus. You have to admit, Toronto fans always think they're getting everyone, and yet they rarely, rarely do. It's like the Knicks in bball.

The only time the Leafs get a stud player is when they make a trade with the Flames.

As a long time Flyer fan, I'm torn on the current moves.

Carter has disappeared in the post season, but he was injured a couple of times. However, I still see Carter blowing that easy goal in OT of game 6 of the SCF two years ago. That play alone sums up Cater in the post season for me.

I hope the Flyers plan on trading the #8 pick to move up. In this draft, I see a weak class after the 24-25th pick.

Richards, well, I wasn't too high on him last year. I don't know. He was a good Captain, but he too would get pushed off the puck too easily in the post season.

All in all, I like what they got in return. My guess is that they will go after another big name player. At least, I hope so.

Just three years ago the Fly boys had 6 20+ goal scorers. Since then, they've let Lupul, Gagne, Richards and now Carter go. The D has improved a bit, and hopefully JVR, Giroux and the other youngsters can keep their momentum.

Oh well, what is done is done.

Experts are calling this a very deep draft year maybe half way through the 2nd round deep I think Flyers are looking to package 8 pick to trade for a front line center...

I mistyped. I meant 24-25th pick. JMO. That's deep in the first round.
