Enstrom is always getting hurt. Not interested.

I brought up Ehrhoff yesterday. He's on quite a long deal but his cap hit 4mil, which will be an absolute steal in the coming years. I'd prefer him over Bouwmeester or Yandle too.

Really long contract.
Interesting guy though, they could use his offense.
I think he has a NTC.

Boyd Gordon with his faceoff percentage is going to be in some demand I think. 58.5%
- Marc D


If the Flyers could get on the right path to sorting out that blueline.

Along with bringing in Gordon and Jagr. I'd be a happy camper

Winnipeg is a poophole that cant attract anyone other than Olli Jokinen.

They know they have to build through the draft.

You will have to overpay to get anything from there.

Is this your home base?

Has been since 1997, and will be until nursing school is done.

After that, close your curtains.

I was all for parting ways with Jagr this season.

In retrospect it was a bad decision for this year.
The shortened season worked perfectly for him.
I think also its obvious he would have gotten top six minutes and PP time here this year.

Voynov is probably on LA's untouchable list. Enstrom and Edler just got extended, but could be pried away.
- jmatchett383


I doubt you could acquire any of them, barring a massive overpayment, IMO.

Have you considered going for the ARNP?

I think that would be great if you can stick it out.

Would you offer him 2 years 5M?
I think I would.

- Marc D


I don't think you would have to offer him nearly that much. I would be surprised if he didn't sign for less than a 2 million avg cap hit.


I absolutely would love to have him back though.

I believe the contract ends when he's 36, maybe 37. I would only be worried about the last two years. He would be a nice guy to replace Kimmo. He put up 50 points with Vancouver two years ago.

The price would be my concern. Buffalo may look for a big overpayment in return for him.

Exactly. Outside of probably Crosby and Stamkos, any player can be acquired. It's a question of how much you're willing to give. All 3 are good defensemen, but nothing I'd put a hole in the team for.

Im not a school guy. Get bored of the same routine too quick. I've worked since I was 15 and had 10 or so jobs since then.

I wont be a nurse forever either. Always wanted to be a pilot. We will see, I heard offspring hinder these sort of plans.

Are we talking about Gagne here? If so, I'd offer 2 years @ 2mil per.

Highest I go. He knows his skill set and that he's not a top 6 anymore, he'd get regular 3rd line minutes in his home away from home. If he goes elsewhere for a bit more money, he could find himself in the same situation he was in before we dealt for him. Healthy scratch more often than not.

I would as well, but what I was getting at is there are other guys I would prefer.

I dont want the Flyers to rush out and sign him on day one.

I'd explore this if I were Homer.

The boyscouts have a service where they pick up the Christmas trees for disposal every year.

This year they forgot to get ours.
Last night it was a really nice evening here, we had a bonfire and burned the Christmas tree, on the night before Easter.
Not sure what this means.

Carry on.

Love to him back, sometimes a player should just finish with a team for the fans...Gagne is our case for that, just as if iginla goes back to Calgary in off season

An amusing twist on the Ash Wednesday tradition? Probably not, but I think it's pretty rad anyway.

Red Wings being embarrassed on National TV. How do their fans put up with such ineptitude? On Gordie Howe's birthday no less.

How many Cups do the Flyers have since '75?

How many Cups do the Red Wings have since '75?

The Red Wings are probably not happy with the score of today's game, but I find it absolutely laughable to call them "losers".
