JVR, Jagr and Carle for Luke Schenn

[ClarkeRuled]

Basically, that's what it came down to. A very lopsided deal. And our record is a reflection of it.

[BrimFullofAsham45]

I don't think that's what the trade was.

[thelos]

You can't look at it like that. Carle and Jagr make 10 million $ combined....

[sm0ka47]

We also struck out on Weber.

You can't just look at it like that.

[RoDu]

well that's a few seconds of my life I will never get back

[GKJ]

Don't forget Gervais, man.

[Philadelphia Ducks]

That's not how it works at all......

[OriginJM]

i dont think you know how logic works in general

[ClarkeRuled]

Oh, yes. I forgot Bruno. That evens it up.

LOL! Good one. Just frustrated that Homer couldn't see that we lacked scorers heading into the season.

If your logic works like that then it's actually JVR, Jagr and Carle for Schenn and Laughton.

[Damaged Goods]

Burt, Therien, Falloon and Zhitnik for Giroux, Read and Coburn. Basically, that's what it came down to.

Why can't we make more moves like this?

[Stranger Danger]

Adam Burt and Fat Balloon! Haha!

[RoDu]

Did we trade away Falloon, or just leave him behind somewhere on a road trip?

We've got scorers. Just one of our big ones is injured and the rest are slumping compared to what is their norm.

He did see it. He just couldn't come up with one. He assumed he could land one of Parise or Bobby Ryan. Instead we got Ruslan Fedotenko.

Don't forget too add Daigle to that list!

I kinda think they just shoved him into a bathroom stall somewhere, and put a chair in front of the door, then ran off to the bus. I have heard he is now a hari krishna ?

[Stranger Danger]

The Flyers traded Martin Spanhel, and a 1st and 3rd rounder, for Falloon. The picks turned into Daniel Briere and Mike Martone. The Flyers then traded Falloon and Prospal and a second rounder to the sens for..........Guess who? LOL

JVR was traded for Schenn. Carle was let go because he wanted more money than the team thought he was worth and that may have also been the case with Jagr. They are not related moves, it isn't like the team was making space for Schenn. Schenn actually has a smaller cap hit than JVR and would have allowed the team to re-sign Carle and Jagr for the hits they currently have if they would've wanted to stay.

edit- Actually with either Schenn or JVR the team would be over the cap with both Jagr and Carle at their current contracts but it would be about 1,250,000 or so more over with JVR.

[orange is better]

Remember the time we traded niko dimitrakos for kimmo Timonen? Best move homers made IMO.

Not true at all.
If Parise and Suter never hit the FA market we resign both.
Homer took another gamble by going after the big guys first and hope to have a plan b. Carle was sick of waiting for Suter to decide and saw what was out there on the market for him. I believe we could've signed him for $5m x 5 years.
I said it back than and I say it now: this D is not skilled enough and we are paying for it. Carle is one of the better Ds in the game when it comes down to moving the puck and creating offense. He was also money in the playoffs.
With Jagr I see why you wouldn't want to hand him that contract because he really fell off the map in the last half of the season and in the playoffs. On the other hand it's a one year deal with and you have that cap space.
Again, I still see them in O&B if not for Suter and Parise becoming "available".
