Line Predictions (2009/10 Season)

Sec201 · 06-15-2009, 04:42 PM

So I know it's early in the offseason, and I know we do this often but I am interested to hear what everybody's predictions are for next year after trades, rookie's moving up, retirement etc. PLEASE BE REALISTIC!!! Think about what we have, who we have on the farm, what cap space we have to acquire players with and so on. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Peter Forsberg - Peter Forsberg - Solid Snake
Al Bundy - Mike Richards - Billy Mays
Jeff Carter - Riley Cote - Rocky (from IV)
Danny Briere - Evan Stone - George Parros

Derrian Hatcher - Peter Forsberg
Kimmo - Ronald Reagen
Machoman Randy Savage - John Daly

Ray Emery
The Ultimate Warrior.

This, I might add, is also cap compliant.

What are you implying, Hover? The Ultimate Warrior is ultimate in all of his endeavors. It just so happens that he is first and foremost a warrior. When he joins the flyers he will be The Ultimate Warrior Goalie

I BREATHE THE AIR THAT SMELLS OF COMBAT

flyerfan1248 · 06-15-2009, 05:30 PM

Hmm...

Forwards
Gagne-Carter-Giroux (yes, I think Giroux can handle a top spot)
Hartnell-Richards-Knuble (Knuble can handle another year or 2)
JVR-Briere-Nodl
Carcillo-Powe-Asham

Lupul leaves. Cote goes to the Phantoms.

Defense
Timonen-Parent
Bouwmeester-Coburn
Carle-Sbisa

Jones and Alberts are both gone.

Goalies
Emery-Eriksson/Backlund

But I'm not sure how that is cap wise... might be over. don't know. too lazy to do the math.

Juicy Couturier* · 06-15-2009, 05:31 PM

OP- I think the replies above show that this thread is way too early. Cant we wait until free agency starts at least when we start seeing who may and may not be a Flyer?

I wouldn't trust Backlund to be a backup, and Eriksson is nowhere near ready. He hasn't even made it to the SEL yet, let alone the NHL.

Just think......if it were not for the stupid NHL Lottery......you might be replacing JVR with Kane.....

Personally what I want to see is this:

Gagne (5.25) - Briere (6.50) - Knuble (2.00)
Hartnell (4.20) - Carter (5.00) - Giroux (0.82)
JVR (1.65?) - Richards (5.75) - Lupul (4.20)
Carcillo (0.89) - Powe (0.52) - Asham (0.64)
Cote (0.55)

Timonen (6.33) - Parent (0.86)
Coburn (1.30) - Carle (3.44) or UFA (2.00)
Komisarek/UFA(4.00) - Sbisa (0.88)

Emery (1.50)
Esche (1.00)

Total: 55.04 or 56.48 with Carle

So we trade Lupul and Gagne for Kovalchuk, Armstrong, and Lehtonen?

Gagne and Lupul, plus a few phantoms with value .. Nodl,Syvret, Ross, Kalinski, take ur pick

for

Lehtonen, Kovalchuck plus Armstrong

Atlanta makes some cap space and rejuvenates their team with 2 great forwards and some young talent.

Flyers get their starter goalie, a natural born sniper, and a great gritty forward who can put up points on 3rd line. JVR and Sbisa will get a full season and we actually make out better with the cap!

Gagne and Lupul wouldn't get you Kovalchuk, let alone Lehtonen and Armstrong.

Gagne won't want to go to Atlanta. Besides, Gagne is basically at the same level as Kovalchuk, but despite being a little bit less productive on the points, he still gets the job done when we need him. Gags is gonna be staying in Philly for life.

Quotes like this are why I really really wish HF Boards had a reputation points system like some other boards. This my friend would be negged on the spot.

So lets make 0 moves this offseason, sounds like a plan. I love first round playoff exits

Protest · 06-16-2009, 08:46 AM

Gagne(5.25)- Richards(5.75)- Briere(6.5)
Hartnell(4.2)- Carter(5)- Giroux(822k)
J. Jokinen(2.25)- Malhotra(1.75)-Knuble(2.25)
Carcillo(893k)- Powe(520k)- Asham(640k)

Forwards: 32.825M

Timonen(6.33)- Coburn(1.3)
Parent(855k)- Beauchemin(3.5)
Sbisa(875k)- Vaananen/Alberts/Whoever(1.5)

Defense: 14.36M

Emery(1.5)
Harding(2)

Goalies: 3.5M

Total: 50.685M

Send Jones to the minors for a year, Trade Lupul and whatever to the Wild for Harding, trade Carle to anyone interested for a low pick and an AHL player or decent prospect. Move Briere next offseason, replace him with Giroux, and fill Giroux's spot with JVR.
