So if the Flyers make a deal with the Panthers for Jay Bouwmeester that opens some cap space and a spot or two up front, who wants to bet that Brendan Shanahan winds up in Philly if the Rangers once and for all say no?

I bet not. I bet he goes to the Devils before that. Less of a commute.

bring him in for one year with the flyers young core we could use one more vet since we lost smith and probly hatch

damn i hope they dont get rid of upshall

July 27, 2008  11:39 AM ET

Not happening.

July 27, 2008  12:05 PM ET

gags12, I think it's gonna be Knuble who goes, not Upshall. Losing Knuble's salary puts them back under the cap.

July 27, 2008  12:09 PM ET

I don't want Knuble to go..The guy is amazing in the powerplay goals... He's the king around the oppponent's net...

And shanahan is useless...he's gonna retire next season...

July 27, 2008  12:42 PM ET

I don't think it matters much where he goes...He is not the impact player of old so he will be a spare part for anyone that signs him. The rigors of the playoffs are now too much for him to be effective.

Maybe...if he got bigger shoulder pads though....

July 27, 2008  01:26 PM ET

BGMwannabe...Thank you Peter for that ....
No I am not suggesting anything at all to do with Crosby...The story for those that know, is that Shanny wears some of the smallest shoulder pads in the NHL...always has.
As far as my comment....it was in jest...IE: If he had broader shoulders and at his age...maybe there is some hope.
You really like to go off on the ridiculous deductions in your ...mind. There BGMwannabe.
As far as the "Whap". Those are strictly reserved for T-rocks as his avatar looks like one of those things that pops up at an arcade that gets "Whaped" by a mallet...in addition...sometimes his comments warrent it.
Whapping you would be a complete waste of time on that bonehead of yours though...which is why I have refrained from doing so to this point.
I also notice the Sundin thread today came from the BOSTON GLOBE.
And before you go off with any more of your dog terd references...just remember you have not been removed from the complaint I filed against you with the RGO Society yet. It takes 6 months of good behaviour and knowledgable comments. So it looks like you might not get off that list for quite a while yet there BGMwannabe.

Guys!! What about signing defender Marek Malik?

July 27, 2008  03:16 PM ET

BGMwannabe is actually Epaminondas re-incarnate. LOL

July 27, 2008  03:28 PM ET

Hhahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!

What's actually funny here...is your feeble attempt at being humourous....but I'm sure you're amused...Epaminondas....>LOL

Guiysor whatever...let'sd try to control ourselves. Any more personal swipes (except at Humty, etc) and we're going to start looking like the NFL threads!

BETTMAN S**S

Guess again...wrong google there BGMwannabe...Try it with Epaminondas and his Auntie...by Sarha Bryant...interesting piece of early american literature...very early.

July 27, 2008  04:07 PM ET

and if you're still having trouble...please, by all means, allow me to assist you.

Now all you have to do...BGMwannabe...is copy/paste and go.
I'm sure can manage that.

July 27, 2008  04:12 PM ET

Spiny...Stay out of this...or get your hedgehog a haircut. BGMWannabe started up with me today and based on his "inside jokes" and "barbs" he deserves a little return salvo...and as far as Epaminondas is concerned...it fits.

July 27, 2008  04:15 PM ET

Hey....BGMWannabe...Just curious....but exaclty how many Canadians do you know that don't have a middle name?
RE: The RGO Society comments....of which of course...you are still on record.

Shanahan is staying with the Rangers! Why go anywhere else when Slats likes him and is willing to give him the money he wants?
