ruxpin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think @aziz is right about Kane. Has Phaneuf been moved yet? That would be my other guess (and wouldn't like it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 @ruxpin Pretty sure Phaneuf now has the NTC that kicked in today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 @ruxpin Pretty sure Phaneuf now has the NTC that kicked in today. Thank God! Actually, if Hartnell were still here I wouldn't have minded Phaneuf just for the comedic value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thank God! Actually, if Hartnell were still here I wouldn't have minded Phaneuf just for the comedic value. I agree...just not for 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I actually like what Hextall has done so far. People are already looking at this free agency period as a failure because the Flyers' problems didn't get fixed - but they COULDN'T get fixed. Not in one year with the handicaps Hextall was handed. So instead of going crazy signing whoever he could to be the savior, Hextall's taken a calm, measured approach and has addressed depth, rather than top-end talent. It's exactly how I think he should have gone about it. I mean, look at the deals the "top-end" FAs got. Hextall would have been back to being handcuffed in a couple years, even if he somehow manages to shed VLC's or Grossmann's (or anyone else's) salaries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xganarchy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Fans will complain no matter what. We finally have a GM taking his time, who seems to have some semblance of a plan and people are complaining? Homer would have gotten into a bidding war for Orpik and he'd be signed to 10 years, $6.5 mil/ year. (jk, i don't think Homer was THAT bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
