Desjardins, Johnsson done in Philly

according to Ed Moran at www.philly.com, it looks like Desjardins is going to retire and the Flyers aren't going to re-sign Johnsson, who Bob Clarke had previously said was seeking a big number for his next deal.

obviously, Desjardins was a great Flyer and will be missed, but he really struggled toward the end of last season.

Johnsson...that one will hurt, though i'm not quite sure why he didn't play that well last year even when he was healthy...

Will Flyers try to acquire Pronger from Edmonton as part of trying to get quality players for their blueline?

that's an interesting question...

...but if it's true that Kevin Lowe's asking Toronto for Tomas Kaberle and Alexander Steen, then the Flyers can't do that.

the young, talented forward, yeah, the Flyers could offer. but the only young, talented, puck-moving d-man the Flyers have who the Oilers would want is Joni Pitkanen, and, well, that's not going to happen.

Pronger's great, but Pitkanen's a lot younger, nearly as big, and just as talented. if he was just a little meaner, like Pronger...

...that was funny, btw.

actually, Clarke was probably still wondering exactly when the current D-men decided that it was too much work to hit Daniel Briere and Chris Drury each time they decided to walk out of the corner and to the front of the net.

not that i'm bitter or anything.

Yeah, Will give them Hatcher & convince them that it's 1999, (will play Prince in the background during talks).

:( Rico will be missed.


The Flyers should grab Redden or Chara from the Sens.

Freeing the 2 of them up should mean a decent signing. Time will tell. :)

Hmmmm, leaves Bob some room for something big, never know what's coming. As for Pronger, I like him, but we REALLY don't need another big D-man back there; we need a quick, mobile, puck-moving D-man.

Should be interesting.
