Goodbye RJ?

Question

well there is one i wished did not happen

I hope Holmgren has a plan

anyone else lose a player you wished could have stayed?

Answer 1

Zherdev hasn't been traded yet but he will. for Marleau. and i think (IMO) a 1st rounder was a little much for Umberger. but if he helps the team then why not.

Answer 2

scott niedermeyer/rafalski/gomez / etc, etc.  and columbus is looking pretty good so far

Answer 3

yea im sad too the rj left i hope he has a great year. its ashame that he is gone. he was the best player in the playoffs. good luck rj

lets go flyers

Answer 4

Losing Briere and Drury. Nuff said

Answer 5

d**n!!!!!!!!I hope Homer knows what he's doing.Huge playoff for RJ.Maybe Campbell is on their radar for cap space.

Answer 6

thats a bad trade here we go again

Answer 7

Lol it's too bad he went to Columbus i liked him too, i liked him in the east.

Answer 8

Shock, I know it hurts, but myself and Columbus wish to thank you! Enjoy those draft picks you got in return.

Answer 9

Well as a Penguins fan I don't mind him going to Columbus, he played too good against us to want to see him in the division lol. Yeah usually see players you want to see stay end up going. It is more an issue of was the return value good. I didn't want to see Colby traded last year, but in the end it was for the better so not too upset.

Answer 10

I think it was a good trade because we might have lost him in free agency. He was a RFA so at lease we got something for him and I would much rather have Carter than RJ

Answer 11

That helps both clubs. Philly picks up the draft picks, which are vital nowadays and gives them more depth and leverage, allowing for maturation and bait. Columbus picks up a younger, fresher, stronger player to help them now and compete in the tougher west.

Answer 12

start the complaining philly fans!!!

yeah i heard it and i was like what are they doing, but oh well, then cbj picked filatov. good for the blue jackets.

"I hope Holmgren has a plan"

me too. at least carter got the extension. i didn't believe they'd trade him.

i want philly to trade briere, and try to get something for him.

what. i'm just saying what i think. doesn't mean it's gonna happen. it's not like i want them to go through rebuilding and i don't want them to trade away their players but it happens. they're building their team...unlike some teams who completely miss the mark and make dumb decisions.

they got luca sbisa!!! hybrid player. i wanted the leafs to get him, and philly gets 27th pick and there's still lots of good players to be had so go philly.

flyers trade their pick to caps and get eminger. good deal for steve.

Answer 13

They needed to let him go cuz they dont have enough cap space to sign and lock up CARTER

i rather have CARTER than UMBERGER

Answer 14

THEY BETTER NOT. RJ is BEAST. he was easily one of the best player in the flyers playoffs{not counting Marty}

Answer 15

That was a huge shocker. Sorry about your loss.

I wish Erik Christensen and Colby Armstrong would have stayed with the Penguins & Mike Johnson with The Montreal Canadiens.
