Not originally, but they passed the Redden/Gomez rule. Teams could immediately do a compliance buyout, but had to carry the full cap hit for one season and pay 100% of this year's salary

it would have been stupid for flyers to do something like that w/ a guy like briere, prior to this season, no? well thats what the venerable randy miller thought the flyers should do to be able to afford an offer sheet for subban.

i wouldn't have minded the offer sheet so much as i would wonder how to fit that type of contract in...anyway, bygones...

It would have been (frank)ing stupid to do that. They would have had to put Pronger on LTIR for two extra months and any cap overages would have been on cap next year.

Bobrobsky just got Bernie Parent'd in the eye by Henrik Sedin.

November 23, 2003 - In an effort to encourage NHL teams to make sure everyone gets a chance to have Chris Pronger play for them at some point, scientists invent Joffrey Lupul.

May 10, 1998 - In a scary moment, Pronger briefly suffers cardiac arrest when a puck hits him directly in nest full of acid-spitting black scorpions who live in the big empty space where his heart should be.


Also liked the one about Kessler

Glad to see he is doing well.

Bobrovsky just lost in a shootout.

That Raymond Mason shootout goal looked illegal to me. It looked like he stopped the puck and then reversed back to the net.

when i called him on it he responded - WRONG! then he slivered in a clarification that changed the circumstances...jerky

Gus can go down and play a lot of minutes without waivers. Gervais would have to go thru waivers.

What, like we should be scared some other team would claim him?


No chance. Remember, we're the Flyers. We're not that lucky.

not sure Campbell needs to talk to anyone for desire to leave florida, something is brewing we cleared another contract today shipping ford for a puck
