Just hear me out here. I threw this out to my buddy, who is a neutral fan, and he said this is stupid..BUT I'd like to hear from others that it is stupid. (This is still under the assumption that Philly needs a top d-man, and Chi needs a legit 2nd line center).
To Phi:
Brian Campbell
rights to Samuel Pahlsson
to Chi:
Daniel Briere
Rights to Antero Niittymaki
and we'll say a 4th rounder this or next season.
Swaps two major salaries for another, rights of two players, and Chi gets a pick. What do you think? (void the NMC or NTC of each player...this is purely just based on value and if it'd make sense for both teams.)
Campbell is getting paid $7,142,875
Briere is getting paid $6,500,000
and even if Pahlsson resigns for the same money thats $1,400,000
so all in all the Flyers add $2,042,875 in salary
But we get a top pairing defenseman, which we need sorely, and a shut down center. That addresses two major problems this offseason...basically it is trading what we have a lot of for what we don't....What's your point you're trying to make?
Sami Pahlsson is really not the same player he was in 2007 on the Ducks' championship-winning team. He's lost a step, and while he is still a more than capable defensive forward, I don't think he carries the value he once did. I don't think Philadelphia's defense/goaltending is going to benefit at all from acquiring Campbell, either.

Campbell should ware a mask when he receives his pay check. The Flyers say NO!
He's not the kind of 1st pairing dman that the Flyers need.
right, the Flyers need another big, slow, physical, defensive d-man. Is it any wonder you can't get out of the 1st round anymore, much less past the skilled and fast Penguins. Flyers should be trying to beat Pitts at their own game... And not try to intimidate Crosby and Malkin with big d-men and meatheads like Carcillo and Emery.
Prediction for next season: another 1st round exit for Philly

Anyway, pass on Briere
Yes, because Pens are very easy team to beat and thats thats why they are in the cup finals again this year and thats why Flyers suck.
Do you see big difference between Emery or Huet? I do not, actually I do, that huge contract.
