[Poulet Kostopoulos]

Another knee-jerk reaction by terrible Flyers management. And to think some here once marveled at that management and wished Habs had that same management style. LOL

being 0-3 and up against the cap hard, if I am Bergevin I am calling Holmgren on a daily basis. Teams in their situation are ripe for making mistake trades.

 

[Habsawce]

Holmgren will be gone at the end of the season if not sooner. I cannot fathom how Snider and the fan base has much faith left in him.

 

[MDN]

Still shocked that Holmgren still has a job

I really don't understand how many more chances this guy is going to get. Pejorative Slured decisions year after year and he keeps blaming it on others

Yea, they've done quite a few already...

Though, things could get interesting in that regards. I just hope we don't get cap problems after.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

You know what the Flyers really need? David Desharnais. That would turn their fortunes around.

Trade us Giroux for him. Just got to call Holmgreen on the right day

 

[ROSSter]

Ship them diaz, they need a PMD.

The flyers front office is probably the worse in the league. No clear direction to move the team forward with. I thought when they got Simmonds,B.Schenn,Voracek they were going with the youth movement but then they added guys like Andrej Meszaros,Mark Streit,Ray Emery,Vincent Lecavalier. For a team that has a owner with deep pockets they badly misuse it. Vincent Lecavalier(long term deal),Mark Streit and of course Ilya Bryzgalov.

They don't they gave 35 year Streit 5.25 million for 4 years

Diaz+DD for Talbot+Coburn seems pretty fair

Holmgren might be our only shot at ever getting Simmonds via trade. No sane GM would trade him but hey, it's Holmgren so you never know.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Lecavalier is like 33 and his deal is for 3 years, in what world is that long-term? Briere is 36 and looks like he's been ravaged by father time himself and he got a 2 year 35+ contract and a NMC and a marginally smaller contract.

If Holmgren messed up the Lecavalier contract, Begevin screwed the pooch with Briere.

edit: my bad.

Lecavalier's deal is for 5 years, not 3.

Holmgren has no patience....he always tries to fix it all in one offseason.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

my reaction to Laviolette getting fired: "Typical Philadelphia."

 

[MrNasty]

lol, Burn

Brilliant yeah

 

[Draft]

If there is any way we can snag Couturier out of Philly... Eller 2.0

 

[Whitesnake]

my reaction to Laviolette getting fired: "Typical Philadelphia."

Absolutely. Tough to feel sad for a guy like that who had those kinds of comments. Anyway, it's not like he's going to be without a job for a long time....as soon as anybody loses his job, he is a candidate.

 

[sheed36]

I doubt he's available but if so the Flyers would want way more than the guy is actually worth to get him out of Philly IMO.. Maybe it's just me me but I still fail to see why Couturier gets so much hype around here.

I read today that there have been 25 coaching changes in the past 2 years. That's a lot of new coaches with time left to make mistakes before they get fired . Laviolette might think of broadcasting because he could be waiting some time.

 

[Forsead]

Looking at the flyers, with their speedy talented forwards and a slow as **** defense.

Well, it's a job for Jacques Martin, it will bring him back some memories from the Habs

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

My bad.

(I still would've signed him)
