I would do just about anything to see Bryz leave Philly. Replacing a bad contract with a worse one-not at this point. I admit, I liked the move by Homer at the time, but given time to reflect, I praise Marty Moose daily that Nashville matched.
We ALL bitch and moan about Homer's cap management, yet Weber for a ton of picks/young talent won't go away. Do we REALLY want a $7.8 million cap hit UNTIL 2026??????
Not disagreeing with your points bout Streit, but I think if he decides to retire, he magically gets an injury and ends up on LTIR. That's one of the many stupid things about the over 35 rule.
LA is asking for him, from what I've read. Homer should be fired if he does that as well. This team needs scoring wingers, it doesn't need to give away the one winger who does score. I am fine with Read + something. No on Coots, and no on Jake.
I swear to high heaven he reads this forum, and then runs to his editors with a new column. This was posted at 6:17 PM today on Philly.com. After this entire forum has spent the day discussing Coots and/or Read. Is another goalie shakeup in the works for the Flyers? The Los Angeles Kings have talked to the Flyers about trading them goalie Jonathan Bernier, an NHL source confirmed Tuesday. At the moment, the Flyers plan to have Ilya Bryzgalov and Steve Mason battle for the No. 1 goaltender’s job in training camp. But the Flyers are considering buying out Bryzgalov’s contract. If that happened, Bernier, who is a restricted free agent, would be a nice fit. Bryzgalov’s agent, Ritch Winter, said last week the Flyers have not talked to him about buying out the goalie’s contract. “But I know that things can change,” he said. To buy out Bryzgalov, the Flyers would have to pay him $23 million _ two-thirds of the remaining seven years ($34.5 million) on his contract. Bryzgalov turns 33 on Saturday. The Kings have reportedly mentioned Sean Couturier and Matt Read in talks with the Flyers. At least 10 teams have talked with the Kings about Bernier, including the Flyers and New York Islanders. Bernier, who will turn 25 on Aug. 7, was outstanding as Jonathan’s Quick’s backup last season. He went 9-3-1 with a 1.88 goals-against average and .922 save percentage in 14 games. In 62 career games, he has a 2.36 GAA and .912 save percentage. He was the Kings’ first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2006 draft. Mason, 25, had a revival after being acquired by the Flyers late last season, compiling a 1.90 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage in seven games.
There is an old country song, by Keith Whitley, with a lyric that goes, " You say it best, when you say nothing at all." That pretty much sums up how I feel about Servalli. He's best words are when he isn't saying/typing or writing ANYTHING Flyers related.
