Resident troll....

I really think you guys will be "unimpressed" by him. I hope he works out for you guys but, I think by game 50 you guys will be regretting this. I truly hope i'm wrong and will check back and see if you guys/gals are happy with him.

he'll be fine. thanks

 

[Beef Invictus]

I think people are not going to be happy unless he plays on a higher level than people are expecting. He's on a big contract and he is old and Holmgren made move. He's going to have to exceed expectations in order for people to be happy about him.

Yeah, he is. Being signed by Homer has little to do with it. Nothing, in fact. The problem is, he's signed for a huge amount of money at a bad age. He's gonna need to overperform to give people hope that he won't bottom out with 2 years left on the contract.

I'm just throwing it out there, they could amnesty Streit after next season, since Kimmo comes off the books, there is over 11 million free for two defenders.

Unlikely, but still a possibility.

You planing on rolling with Bryzgalov for 7 more years then?

I'm not saying it is a great idea, but obviously yes, Bryz would continue to be on the team unless he waived his NMC. As with the the past CBA, Bryz's contract looks better every year if the cap rises (which we expect it to), and he will not be a 35+ contract.

The possibility of Streit being amnestied is also magnified if he has an incredibly poor year, since we won't likely be able to dump him off. That is the reality.

$5.6M is a pretty expensive backup. I believe we would get penalized if Bryz retired early too with that new cap recapture thing with front loaded contracts. Bryz's contract became worse with this CBA if anything.

How so? The new CBA has to grandfather in contracts that were fine under the prior CBA (right?). If so, it seems unlikely the Flyers could be penalized for a perfectly legal contract.

I think there is a list of contracts that they deemed to be circumventing the cap. And if any of those players retire before the end of the contract then the team is stuck with their cap hit. Im pretty sure richards, carter , and bryz were all listed. Can't find the link

What if Bryz "is traded" to the KHL in 2 years...cap hit bye bye?

I can't figure snider wants to just "waste" 18m or whatever he gets in his buyout, because unlike LTIR this is actually out of his pockets.

Nope, that's what amnesty buyouts are for.

How exactly did Chicago dispose of Huet? Can that still be done in the new CBA?

I think we can all agree this is a offseason to forget. Many of the UFA's are past their prime or just role players. I don't know Holmgren well enough to comment but, I can't fault him for trying to improve also. You guys have been really nice to talk with and I appreciate the good hockey talk.

A lot of teams panicked and locked up anything they could before the lockout and motions for the new CBA.

That covered pretty much all free-agents over a two-year period. This summer is the backwash of that panicking so it's obviously going to be a short list.

What will boost it is the buyout retread market. Teams looking for a cheap vet can find someone who was bought out at a discounted price.

So, even if there's nothing high-end out there, it's not like it's not going to be an interesting summer.

 

[Flyotes]

Amnesty buyouts alone will make it interesting.

 

[panayiotis]

crazy

when you draft stiffs like marshall. and trade all othe picks away. you do things like this. very desperate.

 

[Flyotes]

Considering the Flyers have made significant "in" moves to push towards the Cup with such frequency-- the team is not in the worst shape.

 

[Larry44]

No. I hope Homer reads your post, it sums up the complete logic. They have to buy him out.

Do we want to waste Giroux's prime with that goalie?

It does look and sound desperate. And Holmgren should have gone after Scuderi instead.

I did the math and it came out to "7 years." I got angry for a second, before thinking on it again.

Apparently math isn't my thing

 

[RJ8812*]

still a terrible contract no matter how you break it down

The way he wrote it was confusing! And I'm with you on math, yuck!

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought the final year would be $3m in case they wanted to trade him to a cap floe team then.

$2m of it is a signing bonus paid on July 1st. So if we trade him that last season afterwards he's only due $2m over the course of the season
