Jagr gone, carle gone, omg how could homer let them all walk?......everybody including the flyers top writer tim p. with all due respect to the legend this is not a time for panic and question Paul Holmgren. w5.5 why should the flyers pay Matt Carle 5.5 million per season for 6 years?
Matt Carle isnt a bad defenceman but he became much more disposable with the addition of luke schenn, lets look at our defensive depth chart as of right now
Kimmo timmonen, brayden coborn, andrei mezaros, niklas grossman, luke schenn, marc andre bourdon and erik gustafson
pair up kimmo and coborn and you got an excellent pair, mezaros and grossman are a very physical pair, and schenn with Bourdon aren't too shabby either, i beleive gustafsson will become a good offensive defenseman and is closer than most think.
so why sign carle????????, if he doesnt wanna stay in the fold let him go, good luck and so long, wont miss your turnovers and weak down low coverage
