8. Who would you like to see your team pick up this offseason, weather it be a trade, drafting, or via free agency? Try to be reasonable, and if trading who will be dealt from your team.

Answer 1

1.  The only way the Flyers will offer Prospal a contract is if the news on Simon Gagne is that he will be out for another season/forced to retire.  If the do offer him a contract, he will probably accept it.

2.  Most likely - Modry.  Dowd will probably hang it up, Prospal is answered above, and Smith is the next answer.

3 - Jason Smith - Rumor has he's looking to the Devils, and Homer is probably not going to resign him due to being in cap h**l.

4 - Assuming it is not Richie, then I would look to Timmonen or Hatcher.

5 - I do not see Homer make a major move.  He's too tight to the cap with a couple of RFA nightmares coming up (Carter, Umberger)

6 - Hossa will probably re-sign with Pittsburgh at a slight discount.  Let say 4 years for $35 million

7 - Brian Campbell will probably stay where he is - San Jose

8 - My wish list - Signing Huet from Washington to be #1, then trading Nitty & possibly Marty for a couple of defensemen.

8 -

Answer 2

1. I bet he will.

2. Prospal

3. I say Dowd. It seems he has a contest with himself to see how many different teams he can play on. How many has he been with so far?

4. Yes, I believe Mike Richards IS the obvious choice. Tell me one player on that team with more skill and leadership....

5. I have no idea.

6. Marian.....I don't know. I hope he resigns with Pittsburgh, but I don't see that happening....the salary cap here hates him.

7. San Jose. I hear he really likes it there.

8. Nobody right now. I like where the Penguins are. Any slight change might throw something off. I would like to see them trade Dany Sabourin for maybe a sucky winger (you're not going to get anyone good out of him), and maybe trade Daryl Sydor. I want them to resign Ruutu, Conklin, Malone, Hossa (but it won't happen).

Answer 3

1. Yes  then no

2. Dowd

4. yes the answer is Richards  how could you not think that he was more of a leader than the last three C's

5. Brian Campbell

6. San Jose

7. Flyers

8. Campbell

Answer 4

1) yes and no

2) None

3) Prospal

4) Richards or umberger

5) a highpower forward to go on the top line with gagne and danny

6)hossa 6 years 60mil, with the redwings

7) sharks

8) i want the flyers to get st louis

Answer 5

1.  No, I don't think they will offer him a contract.  And after the way he played in this round I hope they don't

2. Jim Dowd

3.  Well I've heard rumors that Smith is going to N.J., so I'm gonna say him.

4.  Why not Richards?  But whatever its your question, if Smith leaves and it can't be Richards then it has to be Timonen

5.  I'll get back to you

6. Not really sure, I would have to see every teams salary cap situation

7.  Hopefully the Flyers but I'm gonna say he stays in San Jose

8.  I would love to see them get Campbell

Answer 6

1) Yes, yes

2)Vaclav Prospal, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jason Smith

3)Jim Dowd

4) Thoresen (Spelling?)

5)Dmitri Kalinin...awesome young defensemen from BUF

6) who cares

7) OTT just for the h**l of it

8) I would love to see Sergei Samsanov for Philadelphia or maybe Brian Campbell, Ruslan Fedotenko wouldn't hurt either...
