The agent for Jeff Carter said his client wants to remain with the Flyers but realizes there is not a guarantee that will happen. "We're going to make every effort to have Jeff stay in Philadelphia," agent Rick Curran said. "Prior to the draft I would expect we'll know what is likely to happen. Jeff has expressed an interest in staying in Philadelphia." Carter's situation is going to be watched closely in the coming weeks. The 23-year-old, who was coveted by the Maple Leafs just a few months ago, finished his third full season with the Flyers with 29 goals and 24 assists (both career highs), and recorded 11 points (six goals and five assists) in 17 playoff games.

Of course he won't! He'll continue to be a Flyer.

Damnit...doesnt everyone want to go to toronto? Those pos toronto rags make stories up on everybody going there...from GM's to UFA's. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!

May 22, 2008  09:22 AM ET

Why does everyone from Canada care about Toronto so much?

nice pic of Mike Richards....

Flyers already stated that there is no way they are letting him leave.

May 22, 2008  10:22 AM ET

Also I'm from Canada and could give a **** about the Leafs.

May 22, 2008  12:17 PM ET

Yeah, I'm Canadian, I have no love for the Leafs at all. They are the big news on the steady because they have the Toronto Sun making up stories that sites like this one - which has ppl who know nothing about hockey running it - see and want to use for threads. The Leafs are a joke, and most Canadians know it, and can't stand them. Trust me, we are as sick of hearing about the Leafs as you are

Exactly bgm...er...goC...

May 22, 2008  12:55 PM ET

I'm not! Leaf it up all you want SI, I won't stand in your way.

Thank god. It seemed for a while whenever anything about Toronto came up here (WHOS GOING TO BE THE NEXT GM!? WILL THEY KEEP BLAKE!?) people were licking their chops drooling to comment. Like pages and pages I was like I do not get it. This team sucks and I'm tired of hearing about who isn't going to sign with the team.

I for one propose that we don't comment (even joke) on any more WORTHLESS Leafs threads such as this one. Maybe then they'll stop.

May 22, 2008  01:31 PM ET

Hahaha that's actually what you have to do OtherOne...see the T&R threads are determined on how many people visit/comment on previous ones. So yeah, stop commenting, then maybe they'll stop.

Anyways, I find it quite amusing this is ruffling everyone's feathers. I for one am enjoying it.

-----------------------------------------
Bosto....X...shoot.
Gocan...YOU had to know this was coming...
WRONG_WRONG_WRONG!
The Leafs, in spite of their screwed up Management of the Past...are far from being a Team that MOST CANADIANS CAN'T STAND...(Quebecer's aside)
In point of fact...The Leafs not only have regular sell outs in their own rink, they are a major draw around Canada and the U.S that pulls fans into the seats.
Now...a joke...okay...hahahaha.
Not quite a funny as you might like to think they are...
With a terrrible season, from McCabe, Tucker, Wellwood, and Blake and playing for Mr. Yuk Yuk Maurice...
Chew on this.
Raycroft. 2 wins- 14 losses.
Yeah...Mr. Calder himself and last years 37 record win performance...Had he won only half of those losses?
The Leafs finish 3rd in the East & 7 points behind Montreal...providing of course that an extra win or two wasn't against the Habs.

Also, it takes 7 pages of back-scrolling to find the next Leaf T&R. Meanwhile, there are like 4 different Sens threads over the past 3 days. But yeah, it's all Leafs all the time here at SI.

May 22, 2008  01:48 PM ET

I suppose lately it hasn't been so bad. I guess I'm just tired of hearing who isn't going where. I swear these T&R writers are messing with us.

I do like Vesa Toskala. The way things are going with the team they should have signed him for an 8 year deal.

May 22, 2008  01:49 PM ET

Well that last post by me was a blatant lie (4 Sens threads in 3 days) but there is just as many Sens stories as Leafs stories.

May 22, 2008  01:50 PM ET

"I suppose lately it hasn't been so bad. I guess I'm just tired of hearing who isn't going where. I swear these T&R writers are messing with us."

Agreed, it seems to be happening with every club not in the playoffs. I suppose it gives us fans something to talk about. And your right about Vesa, he's far and away their best player IMO.

May 22, 2008  02:16 PM ET

Maybe Balsillie should focus on financing whatever large pension fund that has a large stake in the Leafs, gain a controlling interest and then move them to Hamilton. Who own the Leafs? OWNS! OWNS!

Bentley is truly the Fannation Truth & Rumor Historian and Keeper of the keys to the Crypt. LOL

"I do like Vesa Toskala."
-------------------------
Otherone> Toskala doesn't feel the same way about you. Honest, he told me...
No, he did not specifically give his reasons. However, he did give me 16 reasons why he felt the Pens would lose to the Red Wings...You can get them here...at this link...

Count em...16...LOL

 
May 22, 2008  03:34 PM ET

Hey Bentley...If you see Bos...oops, I mean Gocan lurking about...would you mind asking him for me, why his empirically Elitest Red Wings...seem to still have problems selling out the Joe?
Are the guys in the Motor City getting sick of their winning ways?
I'm curious.
