Yeah, if someone grabs him on the way down, he's off our books. But if he's traded now, he'd have to go through re-entry at some point with the new club, or be sent down (though I could be totally wrong on the interpretation of waiver rules)... so, now sure how this can gauge trade interest.

LOL, how sad is that she would have more spunk than Bryz?? I miss the crazy days of Hextall.

Homer, "She has a great personality", translation = "She's a pubic hair away from being uglier than Malkin."

Homer said he waived Nodl to gauge trade interest (which sounds weird to me), and hasn't decided whether or not he will remain with the team or be reassigned to ADK.

Even if he retires, it makes no difference. His cap hit will count for the entire length of the contract whether he plays or not because he was over 35 when the contract came into effect. Homer and the Flyers tried to dispute that the rule was the age a player is when he signs (Pronger signed at 34), but alas, they ****ed up their cap interpretation again. A buy out of a 35+ contact does not reduce the cap hit. The full amount will count against the cap for the rest of the contract (5 more seasons after this one), and then the next 5 years would have no cap hit, but count towards roster limit. So a buyout is completely useless. There are only two ways out of this contract: 1. Pronger is traded 2. Pronger is bought out under a special one-time buy out arrangement after the new CBA, assuming there is such a buy out period. As for needing to replace him with NHL caliber defensemen, I agree. Marshall and Bourdon don't cut it. They're fine for #6 or #7 call up guys, but we lost our captain and future hall of famer. You can't replace him with fringe players. You can't even replace him with #3/4 guys. The question is, do we need to replace him now? I don't think we do. We'll probably lose more games than we win, but I'd rather wait until Homer is not in a position of weakness and make a smart trade. I'd trade Briere and/or Bobrovsky for the right package, provided we get a backup in the return. There's no ******* way Leighton should ever be on the big club again. I'd also be willing to move Timonen, Carle and/or Hartnell. Man, what a crazy injury situation for the team.

Just. Wow.

Nope, not for the All-Star game, but for the best Movember 'stache... He's in the finals against Bisonnette. Giroux should win this hands down!! Man, that's a nasty 'stache! http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?id=9570

@Bill Meltzer Would the Flyers attempt a Souray-like reclamation project with the still-unemployed Bryan McCabe?

Long live Prongborg.

Great... No one would pick up Walker at $1.7M, but I'm sure some teams could use a #5/6 d-man for about $850k, sticking us with the other half. @BroadStBull I would. RT @major78:@davegisaac @tpanotchCSN@billmeltzer @BroadStBull ...Does Homer try to bring Walker through waivers?...worth risk?

@BroadStBull Looks like Pronger will not play starring role in 24/7 now.

@BroadStBull so schenns been recalled

Hold on to your hats, folks... this could get real interesting! davegisaac Dave Isaac Holmgren admitted that he is starting to talk trades

According to this article, the Flyers almost traded JVR for Josh Harding in 2009. Management was pissed that he chose to play an extra year in college, and as always, the Flyers needed goaltending. Minnesota refused the trade, apparently. We signed Ray Emery instead. http://phillysportsd...d-van-riemsdyk/

And/or salary roll back.

$110M franchise player wins out over coach every time. Call him what you want, but he is the *real* Washington Capitals investment, not Boudreau.

LOL, my bad.

Absolutely, positively not. Bouwmeester is overrated, overpaid, and soft.

LOL!

The only way he gets bought out is if there's a one-time no penalty buy out after CBA renegs. Otherwise, you're looking at a 10 year period where his contract is on the books, and because it's 35+, the full cap hit counts for the remainder of his original contract (i.e. next 5 years), so it really makes no sense to buy him out.

I'm interested to see what this means, roster-wise. I'm glad they waived him, but that still doesn't explain Shelley taking up perfectly good cap money. Guess they figure with Pronger on LTIR, they can fit Schenn and the defensive replacements.

AnthonySan37 Anthony SanFilippo #Flyers have also put Andreas Nodl on waivers

Ahh yes. The Philly Captain Curse. Let's see.... Pronger -> Captain -> Falls apart Richards -> Captain -> Petulant Child -> Traded Forsberg -> Captain -> Footpa -> Traded Smith -> Captain -> Leaves as UFA the next year Primeau -> Captain -> Concussions -> Forced to retire Lindros -> Captain -> Concussions -> Forced to retire Was there an issue with Desjardins? Can't remember.

I wish he would play every game... in Glen Falls.

In the 24/7 series, it really looked like the players had already tuned him out. In one particular tirade, a few key players aren't even paying attention to him. It will be interesting to see what Hunter can do with these guys.
