Us going after Luongo but the Cunucks are going after Jeff Carter hard according to the article. I am not sure how I feel about that since I am a HUGE Carter fan but we would get a great goalie in return.

As for Price I was going to ask isn’t he a little weak minded but it sounds like from reading above that he just needs a change of scenery so I would gladly trade Briere or Lupul and one of our prospects for him and Komisarek

briere is a good player, and with his recent development of chemistry with Claude Giroux.. Granted the kid will probably be a crazy good offensive player without him but why break up a winning pair, especially when you might be able to get away with just trading Lupul and a younger D-men. The only draw back to Briere as of right now, would be his huge contract and his health. Not saying that I would say no to trading Briere but the possibility of having a punch like Briere, Giroux, and maybe Gagne on a line together would be an entertaining idea. Carter for Luongo isn’t something I’m too crazy about seeing as I like Carter in orange and black and Luongo is good but still hasn’t got to a Stanley Cup yet. IDK, i dont know too much other then what i see and like……i’d prefer to keep carter and briere with us but thats the name of the game, people come and go.

The Insider article is slightly incorrect. It should say “Philadelphia previously used a similar style trade to bring in Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell from Nashville.” Either way, I figure that if the Flyers are going to sign anyone, they will have to clear up some cap space first.

This would likely spell the end for Biron as well, no? Since he and Briere are buds I can’t help but wonder if he’ll follow Danny up north. Then our tandem would be Price and Niittymaki, or maybe Price and Anderson, with Backlund as the third guy.

And as much as I’ve ragged on Lupul this year, he is still showing improvement from one season to the next. If you trade anyone, trade Briere and JVR. We’ve got forwards out the wazoo, and versatile defenders like Sbisa are hard to come by. Plus, Komisarek gives us the tough defenseman we need.

I would trade Briere for price strait up in a heartbeat. I was one of Briere’s biggest detractors on this site all season and with good reason. this move would maybe even free up cap space for us to make a run at Bouwmeester. being as that is the most ideal situation it’s also probably the most unlikely.

I think we’d be in great shape if we can swing a trade for Price and Komisarek while dumping Briere’s salary at the same time. that being said I really dont want to see the Flyers resorting to their old ways and trading good young players (JVR Sbisa) for immiediate fixes. If we traded one of those two for Bouwmeester or Chris Pronger I’d be happy but otherwise we should try to hold onto them.

adressing the Luongo rumors in this thread…that really doesnt make any sense. The Canucks were one of the best teams in the NHL this season, why would they trade their elite goaltender?

I think the Flyers are much better off going for an upgrade in goal and a good defenseman as opposed to mortgaging it all for an elite goaltender (Luongo). the goaltending position is just such a crap shoot. look at a guy like J.S. Giguerre. he went from being the best goaltender in the game making 7.5 mil or something to not even being good enough to start on his own team.

Price and Komisarek for Briere and JVR. I take that.

But if this trade happens, the Flyers need to sign a Kevin Weekes-type guy to a one year deal. Price can and should be very, very good for a very, very long time. But he’s 21 (he’ll be 22 in August) and as “I’d just like to thank my hands for being so good” said, MAF took awhile to become the series thief that he is. Kid needs time and support. Pitt handled MAF very well – sending him back to the AHL both to get the next #1 pick and to keep the pressure off – and Price needs something similar. Bring in a Weekes-type and take some pressure off Price. Yeah, Weekes sucks. But he can start 30-35 games and give you a chance to win about 25-30 of them.

Second, Komisarek for JVR is fine with me. We obviously don’t need another forward since we have 5 of our 6 25-goal scorers returning and Giroux a full-time NHL guy now. Plus, we keep Sbisa, sign Komisarek, let Alberts go (or sign him to be an as-needed guy) and unload Jones. We then have a solid Top 6 on D. Yeah, it hurts to trade away a #2 overall, but to get a 21 yr old keeper AND unload a 3rd line center making $6.5 million, and it’s a deal.

i don’t want carey price, especially for JVR and briere. Hell no. JVR’s best years are ahead of him at a cheap price, and Briere has got some fire left in him, I want to unload his contract but not for price, just no. We need blueline, not another heralded number one goalie besides fleury to suck hard on the expectations. at least briere can generate consistency on offense, hurt or not.

The latest trade rumors involving the Flyers have either Danny Briere or Joffrey Lupul and a top prospect (either James Van Riemsdyk, Luca Sbisa or a 2009 first-round pick) headed to Montreal for goaltender Carey Price and the rights to defenseman Mike Komisarek

This was the first time I actually looked at the Camden Courier-Post article. If the “top prospect” on our end is just a 1st round pick, I like this trade exponentially more.

I absolutely love it!!!! also get rid of lupul beleive me it’s the right move!!!!
