08:23 AM ET 05.30 | Paul Holmgren's attempt to improve in goal and keep his core forwards may mean the end of some familiar Flyers' tenures, including that of Dan Carcillo. "I think people forget what [Carcillo] means to our locker room, the attitude he has on the bench. He's an important guy." And that might be the sales pitch Holmgren is giving other teams right now. And then there is the issue of unrestricted free agent Ville Leino. ... If we assume Holmgren keeps his core group of forwards intact (minus Leino and Carcillo), he would need to create salary space for a goalie by trading someone from his overpriced blue line. Matt Carle's one-year, $3.4 million salary appears to be the most likely casualty.

The Flyers need a G (again). Holmgren needs to make whatever move he can to get one.

I disagree. I say go with Bobky and Boucher. If Boucher is too expensive, go with a competent back up, but don't give up on Bobky.

Maybe the Pens could pick up Carcillo. He would really complement Cooke's playing style.

LOL...Always nice to get a Pens fan perspective on what would be best for the Flyers.

Finding a taker for Carcillo should be simple enough, just look for teams that are looking to, well... 're-tool'.

As dumb as Carcillo is, there's always one or two GMs that are just as dumb and will tade for him. Why, BB might even give up a first round pick for him!

I see them enough through the year when they play Pittsburgh know what they have. I also get Comcast Philly on the cable so I see some more of their games.

How do you get THAT headline from THAT story?

Ok...I can't tell if you're smiling when you are saying this...I thought and hoped that you were joking.

Hey, everybody know how to improve everybody else's favorite team. Doesn't matter if they have ever seen them play or not. Also everyone always knows exactly what the Pens should do to improve the team, so I'm just offering the same quality advice that everyone else has.

Baund, I have to admit I used to take these threads seriously, especially the slams on the Penguins. Anymore I'm always smiling when I'm typing. You have a different opinion, fine. You don't like the Pens, hey there is no accounting for taste.

I was serious about keeping Bobky and Boucher. If it were my team, I'd have someone working with him right now on his puck handling, positioning and English. I think he could be real good in not too long. Boucher is solid and would be a good back up. I just don't think that you will find that much out there better than Bobky and Boucher.

Do anything to pry Schneider away from the Canucks.

I have to agree that the attitude you now endorse is the correct one! Simply enjoy the back and forth, watch the games and tough if everyone else disagrees with your point of view (or mine)!

I'm simply hoping for a great final.

The guy who picks the title obviously doesn't talk to the guy who writes the story....

Agreed. I honestly hope Carcillo stays in Philadelphia. He's good there. Move Carle to clear some room, if you need to do anything.

I don't have a problem with the Pens BF...
But I think it is hilarious that a Pen Fan would endorse the Flyers to stay with the status quo in goal...Not that there's anything wrong with that...:)
