8 years, $66m, the keys to the WFC, the mayorship of Philadelphia, plus Boardwalk and Park Place

First of all, I've been a Bryz supporter for the last year or so, after last February basically. I'm not saying that he's awful, but for the cap hit the Flyers are absorbing, he's not currently delivering. What I was implying is that he's getting paid to be a top-10 goalie int he league and, quality of shots faced included, he's not playing like it, so I'd rather that money go to resigning young players and try to get a young goalie who could hopefully develop into a star.

And no, I have no confidence in the defense either. I understand that it's the goalie's job to make the first save and the defense's job to clear it. As much as I like a lot of these players, some moves need to happen, and some tough decisions will have to be made by management.

Basically, I guess what I'm saying is that I have little to no confidence in the majority of this team. I can live with a season or 2 of growing pains if they win a Cup in the next decade. Snider probably can't, but I don't see any quick fix that will turn this team into a contender (including firing the coach). I'm fine with a tear down and a build around G/Coots/Schenn/Simmonds/Jake, trade some of the vets for picks/prospects, develop some semblance of a defense, take a shot on some promising goalie prospects, and maybe in 3-4 years you can contend. Right now, this team is in place to regress unless a drastic move is made (see: Flames, Calgary).

Ok, I get your meaning. I mistook your post for a garden-variety goalie blame post.

Not sure if you recall, but when Bryz was a name bandied about in the summer of 2011, I was against his signing. I support him now because he's my favorite team's goalie but I would have preferred sticking with Bob and a vet for a backup (my dream being trading for Nabokov from the Islanders). However, if they buy him out or trade him and use the cap space to bolster their team I'm all for it.

Your last paragraph I would agree with. I'm on board the "get an instructive coach in here pronto" movement because what they're going through now can affect next season. Righting the ship, as MJL said earlier, is the way to go.

I was thinking 8 years, $60 million.

66 million over 8 years for Getzlaf

His days in SoCal are done buns. Unless he signs with the Kings.

So what? Age and time served doesn't mean you've grown in knowledge of the game. If it did, Tim Panaccio would be a better writer than Bill but we all know that's not even remotely near being true.

Skip, don't you think over playing Bryz has hurt?

I know he supposedly thrives on work, but mentally at times he seems fatigued.

Getting a back up they trust seems to be an important hole to fill.

Not as much as playing AHL goalies would have hurt. You'd be asking a lot of your forwards to cover an extra 1-2 goals per game. You think they play risky "Go, go, go" offense now? Imagine a 4-1 offense with Foster and Gervais out there.



EDIT: Some sarcasm was tossed in here, in case folks' detectors are off.

$8.25m cap hit, per Bob McKenzie
- BulliesPhan87

Overpaid.

per twitter

Zolnierczyk has been ruled eligible by the AHL effective today. He would have to sit out the 2 games on any subsequent call-up to the NHL.

So an NHL suspension does not count in the AHL. I never knew that.

His days in SoCal are done buns. Unless he signs with the Kings.

If they were smart they would trade him.. regardless of how they are playing.. You will get a fortune for him.

I'm okay with that. But Bryzgalov is still right up there isn't he? So the point is the same.
- MJL

i would have agreed with you after January, not after February

They sucked last night and as Bill said are under.500 for a reason. Coach isn't adjusting and there's been serious overturn on the roster since Lavy took over but same old same old over and over. Lunch is over take care.

Breaking News:

I just checked Philly.com and TSN.

Lavi is still Flyers coach. Confirmed. (LF5)

I agree 100%. I bet he doesn't get moved though. That seems to be the case almost every time something like this happens.

Overpaid.

same $ as Eric Staal

A lot of dough but not out of line compared to similar players

Right now not sure how giroux could command more than him. I think we're looking at 8 for roo
