Thanks for making my point. We don't have a Kane type or Keith that's what we need!!!!!!! How do we get them with no cap room ???? You do it thru trades. What are our strengths to trade from??????? How about the 5 centers we have!!!!!! Except g I say trade one for a Kane type player ie perry. If you have to throw a pick in or a read so be it. We are dealing from our surplus!! Trade picks for dman or vice versus. It can be done without weakening our team. Buyout Bryz for cap room so many different ways to go about it. - SMS4016
I'll say it again, and have said it multiple times. I'm not against making trades. As long as their smart moves. Buying out Bryzgalov and then trading quality assets for a Goalie to replace him is not a smart move.
Do you understand that if the Flyers trade Read and a pick for Corey Perry, that they will not be able to re-sign him during the Season and risk losing him to Free Agency?
This team needs to add another top shelf defenseman and they're good to go imo. Maybe another depth one. I'm fine with this forward corps going forward just needs to season a bit. - JoeRussomanno
Ok so how the hell do we get one??? No cap room no one wants to trade picks or players even though we have 5 centers and we still need a top line winger. Even if we keep bryz. How do we get that???? No trade no buyout no cap hit. I'd love for someone to explain to me this.

Again, nobody has said they are against buyouts or trades. Just certain buyouts and trades.

nobody is against a trade so long as it is the right one. Problem is the trades you propose are unlikely.

Impossible unless you make a move via trade, draft, or picks.
To speculate. When Hartnell and Meszaros come back. Players who are Waiver exempt are candidates to be sent down. That's Harry Z, McGinn, and Gustafsson.

They send Gustafsson back down I'll be pissed.
What do they do with players like Shelley, Lilja, Foster, Sestito, Knuble?
Those players count towards the cap no matter what? I don't remember what the rule is in the new CBA.
I understand his point but its just coming out crazy with all the trades and picks leaving. - stveshdy
I don't see anyway to get at the least top winger top dman without trades and buyouts. Cap going down we only have 2 mil open have to fill out roster please we have g schenn coots contracts Coming up so how the he'll are we going to even get one piece?

Buying out Briere will free up some money. Not sure what they will do once they have to pay Giroux, Schenn, and Couturier. Hopefully by then some contracts come off the books or they will have to move some guys.
