I believe Gus is no longer waiver exempt meaning we would risk losing him to another team, which would likely happen. That's why there was so much talk about having to move Coburn. Mez or Grossmann over the Summer.
@ junkie-Living in Western NY, I conceed that the guy is an icon in this area, but I repectfully disagree. He is one of the most annoying in the business, too much over the top screaming.
As an Amerk season ticket holder I got a chance to meet Foligno during several STH events. I found him to be a very kind and humble person who was appreciative of the fan support. I think he has the potential to have a nice NHL career.
Shelley is listed as a key departure because there will be a less experienced player serving beverages and popcorn to Lukko, Homer and Clarke in the pressbox this season.
I agree, the Flyers need to wait and not rush Morin. That being said, patience has never seemed to be in the Flyers/Snider's mission statement when it comes to d-men and GOALTENDING!
instead of making a splash in free agency, Regier obviously spent all of his time this Spring and Summer designing the teams new jersey. Regier: "How many different shades of yellow can I use?"
Junkie-I am an Amerks season ticket holder and I agree that Rochester supports the Amerks/Sabres extremely well, almost to a fault. The Frozen Frontier in December should be interesting. Sight lines may not be great but you cant do much in a minor league baseball stadium.
Blue Jackets hire Jody Shelley as a team ambassador. I must say I was fully expecting Homer and Snider to create some front office position for him becasue he was, "a good lockerroom guy." http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=429466
I think you can make an arguement that either Mason or Emery could be ranked as high as #23. Seeing Bob ranked at #5 reminds me of what could have been and re-ignites my anger that the Flyers gave up on him too soon. time to go take my anger out on the dog and kids......................
