From what I am hearing you can't wait to OS Bernier. The Flyers want to know who thier replacement for Bryz is before the Buy him out. You have to buy someone out before July 5th. You cant OS someone until after July 5th.

Anything that has to be done, will have to be done before then. Whether its tradeing for Bernier rights. Trading for Halak. Or trading for the rights to Emery, Nabakov, or whomever.

To me that makes Thomas a no, because you cant trade for his rights.

damn. if you were willing to make the 6th a 5th, they may force justin williams to come back

Okay. Giroux, Coburn, and a 5th for Bernier and Dustin Penner.

Is it confirmed that they want a replacement prior to buying out Bryz?

just in time for another long term injury that will force early retirement.

I think the threat of the Offer sheet is what we are currently using to bring down the price of Bernier. We can wait til the wire and Buyout Bryz and then Offer Sheet Bernier later should it come to that. With what went on with Weber last year, GM's should know Homer will do it too. But the offer sheet is just a scare tactic, as LA would be foolish to match it, and much smarter to realize their disadvantaged position and trade Bernier now to the highest bidder, whomever that is.

Fine. We'll throw in both Schenns and Voracek if the Kings will throw in a 4th.

this is where i think, as i said last night, homer COULD have an agreement reached with Lombardi already - it's just not in effect or official. don't know if that would be considered tampering.

i would never wish that upon him. but long term injuries to just about everyone are a running joke in here. see: flyers, philadelphia. 1976-2013.

yeah i didnt think you were at all. im sure after dealing with it for so long you just learn to cope by laughing about it haha. still, for as much as pronger was a dirty SOB for his career, i still feel bad for him. even guys i hate like marchand, i wouldnt wish that to happen to him. haha maybe just a career of mediocrity

i mean if you guys are just tossing assets around, the pens would take some. ah damn nevermind, once again, we dont have draft picks to move this year. okay fine, i didnt want to have to do this, but, niskanen for simmonds

Agreed. This is a life changing injury and I know Keith Primeau is just recently getting back to normal, and he got his in 2005.

Now, were somebody to have broken Sean Avery's knees....

Wow. The center piece of the great Gogo trade for a measly 29 goal scorer? You have yourself a deal sir.

i wouldnt deny that i would most likely laugh a good deal. however, afterwards, i still think my conscience would get the best of me.

Thanks, fellows!

i know, i know. speaking of which, i dont place any stock other than entertainment value in those twitter accounts, but i saw someone post something about the stars and flyers in talks revolving around gogo for coots. like jesus christ, i understand people just pull things out of thin air for the hell of it, but i mean really? are people even attempting to remain in the realm of plausibility any more?

not that i would have any problems with that deal in the slightest haha

Kypreos just tweeted that the Leafs and Flyers are front-runners for Bernier, and that a trade should happen "sooner than later".

if there's a bidding war, i sure hope they get outbid

I'm with you there.

The good thing about having Homer as our GM... we always have something to talk about.

- flyler

In my opinion it won't get to that point. Bernier will be traded long before a team can sign him to an OS.

New blog!

Seriously though, as awful as it sounds, I'd wish that to happen to Matt Cooke. He's the only guy in the league I would wish that on, but he's very seriously injured so many people during his career that he deserves to have some bad karma come back at him. I wouldn't even wish it on Sean Avery, because he's only extremely annoying, not so much dangerous.
