Flyers Need Goals, Not Goaltending

from Sam Carchidi of Broad Street Bull,
Sixteen scouts were at the Wachovia Center to watch Ottawa outlast the fading Flyers, 2-0, on Thursday night.
That’s a stunningly high number of scouts, and, with Flyers starting goalie Ray Emery sidelined for at least six weeks, speculation is running rampant that the club is interested in a goaltender.
But the fact is, Brian Boucher _ who had another strong performance Thursday _ is good enough to carry the load until Emery returns.
It says here the Flyers need to add a sniper or two, because right now, this offense just isn’t producing.
On Thursday, they were shut out for the third time in six games, and their power play was 0 for 7. It marked the second time since 1968 that they were blanked three times in six games or fewer….
Maybe Holmgren can turn the talks toward 22-year-old Anaheim right winger Bobby Ryan, the pride of Cherry Hill. Would you deal the soon-to-be-25-year-old Carter for Ryan and, say, a No. 1 pick?
