Relax, the dude's a Stampeders beat writer.

I know its unlikely but I would be happy with a few more simple moves by the Flyers. Knowing them, they'll be close to a dozen.

Slightly over the cap but that could be solved by Pronger's LTIR $$$

No way that is true.

The Flyers will not trade that pick until they are on the clock at the draft, if at all. Look what happened two years ago when Columbus traded the 9th overall prior to the draft.

I just saw another that has Read and Coburn going for Bernier and a forward, be done by the weekend.

yea, i saw that too. i don't get the rush. they can buyout bryz and there will be enuf guys out there...esp if they like mason. there aren't enuf teams that need goalies to panic. but you know what that means.

Could easily waive Gervais and send him down, and his Cap hit would be off. Or trade Meszaros. That would easily give the Cap space needed. Although I don't see getting Gagne to sign for 2M.

I could see something if they really wanted Bernier. But as Bill illustrated in his last blog, Lombardi is a bit over a barrel. He can shop Bernier, but if it gets past the draft, somebody is gonna go the offer sheet route and force him to spend $9mm on goalies or accept losing Bernier for a 2nd rounder.

Other GMs will know this, and with the CBO's there's going to be a poopload of options. Zero need to overpay for Bernier.

I agree. The Kings have really put themselves in tough situation. Bernier may have gotten a first last year, but not this year. Teams know they can't match an offer at 3.3M.

zero need is right. i listened to Tim and it's funny how panicky he sounds. we'll see if they learned anything about supply and demand from the bryz/vokoun fiasco.

- isaiah520

Supply and demand doesn't come into play when there are two available Goalies. And you only have interest in one of them.

Why dont we just offer a 2nd and Cousins and get this over with? Kings can send back a later pick too if that makes the Flyers feel better

2nd & Cousins
