GDT: 2013 NHL Free Agent Frenzy Part 3

[overlords]

and i would rather give white than dd, your point being?
edit: actually no i wouldnt

Out of those 3 players mentioned, only one actually makes us a significantly worse team by subtracting him from our lineup.

 

[CupInSIX]

do we believe this?

rumeur. Échange montréal-philadelphie. Coburn, simmonds et talbot pour plekanec, beaulieu et moen.

you guys realize these people are reading this thread and creating rumours about the players you keep mentioning...right?!


I feel like I'm taking ****ing crazy pills

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

I actually don't want Coburn. He's awful, awful defensively and no it's not the Philly effect. It's just he's bad. He's not consistently physical either. Fringe #4 at the moment.

 

[Yozzy]

What would need to happen to the deal if you just yank both Pleks and Simmonds out of it?

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Is Beaulieu that expendable? I figured he was a formidable talent - am I wrong?

Us hanging up the phone.

I only move Beaulieu for a physical top 6 scorer.

 

[Analyzer*]

The deal makes no sense from both sides.

Why are we moving Plekanec? Does DD-BRIERE-ELLER put the fear of god into any team? No, they laugh because our center is stuck behind our own net falling down in agony because they can't retrieve the puck.

That's what Simmonds, Bourque, Pacioretty go and get the puck.

 

[SnapVirus]

Rumor is BS. But value is fair.

Simmonds - Eller - Gallagher
Pacioretty - DD - Prust
Bourque - Galchenyuk - Briere
Talbot - White - Parros/Parros

But we are still small : Gallagher, Gionta, Desharnais, Briere

 

[sharks9]

We got pummeled in five to the team that just added Bobby freakin Ryan to its roster.

And they did that without losing anyone off their roster?

Oh wait, they lost their captain who finished 3rd in points on their team and a guy who scored 1 less goal than Bobby ryan last year.

 

[WeThreeKings]

No, you're right.

There's just a vocal majority of posters who have no idea what a talented PMD defenseman with size and superior skating ability means in today's NHL.

He doesn't fit the Bergevin criteria: character

 

[overlords]

He's very good, but not enough character. You know how it goes.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

The stuff that happened with his Dad might be the reason Bergevin and the Habs would want to move him

 

[No More Subban]

Just woke up from a 2 hour nap!

Did we just sign George ************* Parros?

Woooooooo! Prusty is not alone anymore!

 

[Naoned]

Not saying they would take this proposal, but Philly needs to clear some cap room.
That trade would save them roughly 3M if Beaulieu stays in the AHL.

We like wasting assets then crying on how we knew the kid was going to be good.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Why are we still talking about Talbot when Lavoie said that he is not moving?

Hope that we are not trading Beaulieu for Coburn...

 

[WeThreeKings]

That's what Simmonds, Bourque, Pacioretty go and get the puck.

And they are warn down by game 3 because Briere and DD have not one a ********* face-off. Not to mention we're down 6-0 because we can't shut down their best players or kill a penalty.

 

[void]

Where will they be showing the Bergevin PC?

 

[sandysan]

Pretty sure he would.

You would be wrong.

 

[overlords]

And what the hell does philly need pleks for? They planning on playing vinny at wing?

 

[hototogisu]

Maybe it won't, but a top 6 down the road (or even as early as next year) of Eller, Galchenyuk, Pacioretty, Simmonds, Gallagher and Bourque doesn't look too bad to me. Or too small.

 

[Habssince89]

Beaulieu doesn't get you Simmonds. The other garbage doesn't get you Coburn and garbage

How is a 2nd rounder, DD, and Moen garbage?! Say what you want about the value/need for the flyers in the context of this trade, but you're completely wrong about their general value. DD would be in heaven on the flyers, he'd be easily sheltered and would rip it up. Moen and Talbot are a wash, and Coburn is the kind of Dman we need and is still 28 (which is young for a Dman). Not to mention a second round pick is always great to have in your pocket.

And yes, Beaulieu could get you Simmonds (and vice versa), there right there with one another in value. Both rare types.

Unbelievable.

It's a trade, you're never going to get anything of value without giving something of value back.
