radoran Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Rusty Fedotenko is still out there. Nice pickup for cheap IMO.Also, too, Jim Vandemeer. Randy Jones?Just, you know, trying to think like the braintrust.Kinda serious about Rusty, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see where else he woudl fit.Vandermeer and Jones......... not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindbergh31 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 For the next year, we may be. But again, look at the positives too. And there are many of those.The Flyers will use the next year to develop Couturier and Schenn brothers to the maximum. The situation with our defense may actually be blessing in disguise also as it will give a chance to Bourdon and Gus to really show their worth and start assuming a larger role on the team. And finally, after this season, we will get a much clearer picture as to what we can *really* expect from Bryz.And after the next season, barring any significant salaries the Flyers add during the season, they will have tons of cap space to improve the roster *much* better than what they would be able to do this summer.So as frustarting as the next season can - and probably will - be, it has multiple benefits also.Is that what some Flyers fans have been wanting the last couple years, to draft players and let them develop. Who knows how next season is going to turn out but hopefully the coaching staff will play Schenn, Couturier, Read, Bourdon and Voracek a lot and let them develop.

Flyingswede Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Will homer chase for a "Carle-alike" defenseman? I hope so becouse even thou I was not a huge Carle fan I see the need for a puck moving defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange_crush Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Now that anybody thats good has been signed, Whats left for us ???????Cmon man we signed Leighton...bringing the cup to Broad Street baby.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Is it possible that Plan B involves Bryzgalov being fitted for a sumo suit? Between that AND Garth Snow's pads his save percentage should increase....maybe even break .900? Caveat.....On the few games that Leighton plays, he borrows the suit and pads..........

TimKerrFan12 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So is this it everyone....no Doan...or anyone else....this is our team? So we have all agreed the Homer will not be making any other moves. I would like to see players added for free. No trade please for Nash or Ryan. Like u guys said. Keep our young guys, develop them. I still think we have a pretty good team, and I think the will still be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quigster Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The bottom of the barrel is now! As demoed by Homer's recent catches,he's saying the same thing about these guys he said when he got Carcillo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I be more excited for him then I am for Fedotenko and Gervais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is funny 'cause Bryz's save % last year was .909, has never been below .906 for a season and his career mark is .915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 @AndyS He's waiting for the Yotes ownership to respond, since it's owned by the NHL....I'm thinking somebody is very close to buying it and Doan wants to give the new owners a chance to sign him so he can stay in Phoenix....thought I read that somewhere, but maybe just my own pipedream, not sure....lol.

AJgoal Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 @AndyS - He's waiting to see how the ownership picture shakes out in Phoenix. If the deal goes through, he'll sign on. Otherwise, he might be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"(Doan) especially said to me, 'Listen, we're not taking offers. You can tell teams I'm interested, but we're not even taking offers until we know what's happening at home.'"Yes, he said "home".

Vanflyer Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Oh believe me, I am not crazy about that either. It really looks like we are making a step backward from the last season. I just think there are some positives with the situation, not just negatives.What it all comes down to, though, is not even who we failed to sign in this free agency. The bigger picture, at least for me, is how Bryzgalov does the next season. If he has another so-so season, not a single free agent in the world can help this team.And thus why not a FA in the world does not want to come play for us. They did not mind the Nitty's of the world, but Breezy has such a stigma that nobody wants to be in the O&B. If there is a "grandfather" rule in the next CBA, the Flyers must use it on Breezy. I am being harsh, but unless someone can give a compelling argument to the contrary, that is what needs to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parise was heaavily rumorerd against another Atlantic team. suter was heavily rumored to want to go where Parise went. They both wound up paying in or near their home states.What does this have to do with Bryz? What other big name didn't come here "because of Bryz?" - jokinen? Souray? Who?I'm not at all against buying out Bryz, but I don't see the "people don't want to come here" thing at all. In the eye on the beholder from where I'm sitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
