Sorry, but I can't imagine Clarke going for that package (Brisebois/Kilger). He may want another offensive defenseman, but he could have signed Tverdovsky as a free agent. And I wouldn't give up Plekanec. I see him replacing Perreault next season (if there is one, and if there isn't, then the next one after that).

Brisebois / Kilger is too much for Primeau ... and I don't like either player.
STOP overrating Primeau. He is not what you think he is.

Primeau has had multiple seasons of 30 goals and 25+ plus goals when used in an offensive role. He's a great two way player that is intimidating because he isn't afraid to use his large body to punish. He's been a recognized leader everywhere he played and has accepted a lesser role with Philly the day they put their hands on JR, something that certainly spells out a trooper and a team player. The guy will just turn 32 this year so he's not a geezer by any stretch of the immagination. You can dislike Primeau all you want and that's fine by me, but don't say I overrate him because I can recognize some of the quality anyone can see he has. |

Wow, this thread is still going?
I like fan-fantasy threads as much as the next guy, but I'm surprised how long this one has gone on for.

He's been a recognized leader everywhere he played uhhh no he isn't. The guy is a known locker room cancer everywhere he has been. Any team that has Primeau as their captain is going nowhere ... (see the underachieving Flyers of the last 3 years). |

Whether this rumor has any basis in reality or not, its easy to see why it keeps popping up. Primeau-type players are pretty much exactly what this team needs. |

How many NHL locker rooms have you been in? 'Known locker room cancer'.. gimme a break. Guy is a captain. As for the second statement... yeah, it's all Primeau's fault that every Philly forward (him included) forgets how to score come mid-April and they haven't had a real goalie since Bernie Parent.  |

A real locker room problem for sure... only thing that's a real knock against him at this point in my book is his lack of playoff production. His playoff stats are below his season's stats. Anywhere he's been. I wouldn't go as far as calling him a choker but he certainly doesn't come out as a clutch player either. |

Plus, I found that Primeau was one of the best performers for the Flyers last year in the playoffs. He may not have been the most productive points-wise, but he showed up physically. Besides, there are many other offensively gifted players on that team that should have picked up the slack. I would welcome Primeau on this team with open arms. THF |

Here's a few more newsflash for ya Marc: * Alexander "he's ready for the NHL" Perezhogin didn't make the team and has done nothing so far in the AHL * Mike "he's a Calder candidate" Komisarek has just been sent down to the minors without playing one game. |

True enough Doc but Chouinard was drafted in 98 and hasn't proven anything even at the AHL level. In 29 games with the Flyers he has 8 points. Hardly a promising start. In any case, I don't know why his name keeps popping up here. It just reminds me that with a wiser pick the Habs could have had Jiri Fischer or SImon Gagne - among others. |

How about we compare Chouinard to young Habs players who are in the same age group like Ribeiro, Markov, Ryder and Ward instead of players who were drafted 3 years later and are starting their 1st and 2nd pro seasons in North American hockey respectively.
Seems to me it would be a tad easier to compare..
