Potential Off-Season Acquisitions IV

[BernieParent]

if deal gets done and lecavalier gets gone will we have enough space to go after...say vrbata tomorrow.

I am pretty confident that Hextall will be able to go through the FA period without appearing like a kid in a candy story with a $5 bill in his hands. I'd like to see him make some judicious signings where needed (backup goaltender), but to keep some cap flexibility. See what shakes out, wait until some dust settles and see if there are some reasonably priced players who fit his vision of team construct.

If we manage to offload Lecavalier and Grossmann, I'd be open to signing T.J. Galiardi, Milan Michalek, or Mason Raymond for relatively cheap. Any one one of those three is capable of playing top-6 minutes and chipping in 15 goals over the course of the season. I really liked Galiardi when he was on the Thornton & Burns line a couple of years back, and Raymond would add some nice speed to our team. Michalek has good size and might fit well with Schenn and Simmonds, but he will probably be the most expensive of the three. I don't think we can afford guys like Moulson, Hemsky, Cammalleri, Vrbata, Kulemin, or Jokinen.

I have nothing to base this on, but I feel Kulemin and Jussi are guys who may sign small and play big. Jokinen probably should earn a good raise. Raymond's contract needs a fortune teller to predict.

So a quiet free agent frenzy expected for the Flyers unless some cap space can magicly be freed up!

 

[sa cyred]

So.. Am I the only one that semi-ish forgot today was free agency? Maybe its because each season with Homer I am scared to crap that we are going to overpay a guy.


Or maybe its because I just got engaged and totally forgot. Either or

But I do think its because I think Hextall does care about the cap situation more than Homer did. Now I know some Homer fans might quote this and go to town but its the truth. Hex almost seems obsessed about the cap situation which I love. He is thinking more down the road than this season.

 

[Chinatown88]

Hopefully not having cap space will prevent Hextall from doing something crazy. The last couple years with Homer, I was panicking cause we never knew what was going to happen. I hope we can dump Vinny by the end of this week. And we still need a backup goalie...

Side note: Happy Canada Day to all our Flyers brethren to the north!!

 

[Striiker]

I'd be happier with getting rid of some cap space than signing the best FA's for great contracts. All I want is breathing room.

 

[GKJ]

One name I'd like to look at on defense is Zach Redmond.

 

[Unstable]

Seems like
1. Weak FA class
2. No cap space
3. GM who cares about cap space

should = quiet day

One question, why exactly does Vinny get his bonus? 9 AM this morning (meaning he could be moved today) or not until later?

Probably safe to assume his direct deposit already went through this morning. I even get my pay a day earlier than the rest of the paper check schlubs.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Plan for the day:

Gaborik, Boyle (both of them), Vanek, Miller, Moulson, and Erhoff will be Flyers by noon. Book it.

Vanek-G-Voracek
Moulson-Schenn-Gaborik
Read-Coots-Simmer
Boyle-Laughton-Raffl
Rinaldo

Erhoff-Coburn
Timonen-Boyle
Schenn-Streit
AMac

Mason
Miller

Start planning the parade, friends!

 

[sa cyred]

Hmmm just thinking outloud but I read how the Red Wings are looking for defenders. I wonder if Grossmann is on their radar. Seems like the type of player that could do well in their system.

We are trading for Gabby? (Maybe you forgot he resigned with LA?)

DRW fans were interested in Schenn just a couple of months ago, so maybe. Apparently they just want a bottom pairing, crease clearing shot blocker. That sounds exactly like a certain Swede on the roster.

Plus a Swede going to the Red Wings . Doesnt it sound just perfect? The name Grossmann playing on the Detroit Red Wings.

Crazy, right? The Red Wings may only have 3 or 4 Canadians on their roster next year, and as many as 7 or 8 Swedes.

He will go there and suddenly start making crisp outlet passes and heady plays in the offensive zone.

Vinny and Grossmann for Gabby. Done deal. E5.

EDIT: And yes I did forget.

 

[Striiker]

Normally I'd agree because that's just our luck, but I don't think that guy could make a decent pass in a video game.

Actually he's first line pairing for NHL14 online right now, hes pretty good in the game

 

[bennysflyers16]

Would be an excellent move. RHD with offense and looked to bounce back after injury. Just a numbers game why Jets aren't signing him.

Congratulations! Maybeee

 

[flyersfromquebec]

What do you think of Gorges...could be a good replacement for Grossmann.
I know he got a 4m cap hit but he is reliable. If we can get rid of Lecavalier and Grossmann. Just dont know what we could offer for him.
