We had a slow moving crazy storm yesterday.

I'm good. Hanging in there, making changes to better my health and hating them.

Jason's 6' 195 and starting his U16 season tomorrow. High School in a week. He's growing up too fast for me.



How's Adrian?

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

I saw the mayor and Jr at a game near the end of last season. Kid is HUGE. I couldn't believe how tall he got. Of course, they said similar things about M4, but as long as he's shorter than me the facade that he isn't growing much is there.

The rain of April, in August, is more reason for being wary.

Hey if anybody can find a way to sneak some player on the team without worrying about the Cap, it's Holmgren!

Yea, I saw that. Are we playing Fantasy Hockey, or talking reality? Your deals aren't possible under the Salary Cap.

It can be whatever you want it to be. But I personally prefer reality.

So here's a little reality. Under the Off Season Cap rules, using the 10% exemption. The Flyers currently have $7,547,387 of Off Season Cap space to work with.

Bourdon counts $477,703 against the Off Season Cap. He was the only player in your deals, that the Flyers currently have to account for on the Cap.

Ryan and Bouwmeester combined add up to $11,780,000 in cap hits.

Minus Bourdon. That leaves the Flyers needing to clear an additional $4,710,316 of Cap space to make the deals you propose

Yea, now all you have to do is find the ways to clear the additional space.

Didn't you say that Laughton was going to be better then Mike Richards?
