Can't buyout Pronger. Simply uncheck demoted contracts. And then just X out Pronger.

I know that...Anywho just saying that Flyers can upgrade the team via trade for Ryan or similar and keep Bryz and still have a little bit of money.

I'm more worried about his all around game. I don't have much patience for 2nd line centers who are bad defensively
- Just5

I think that has more to do playing with briere.

well that's fine because couturier is very good defensively

not as important for left wingers to be shutdown defensively. would be nice though

He showed improvement there. But he needs to be better there. As does most of the team.

Gonna be needing a new avatar in about a week or so. Any suggestions?

I would say 1.5M for Gustafsson is high.
- MJL

Agreed. No way he gets that.

Thanks for the work on the rosters fellas. I thought they were more cap strapped than they really are.

Streit holding up bags of money?

that's what i meant by conservative

conservative for our "speculating about having cap space" purposes. 1.5 should be more than enough

Grand Rapids (Detroit's AHL team) won the Calder Cup tonight. Their top 7 playoff scorers are between 19 & 24..........

No need for the Flyers to ever try a similar path to success.

Lose Lidstrom and barely bat an eye. We lose Pronger and franchise is sent spinning

@tpanotchCSN: Paul Holmgren: I didn't assure Ritch Winter of anything. We will do whatever is best for our team.

I just took the biggest sigh of relief in my entire life
(frank)ing Winter. Jackass.

Schenn I think will be more offensive gifted then Richards. Worse on defense though. If you look at Richards he broke out his nth rid /fourth season. Schenn has only had about 1.5 seasons with injuries.

Brayden brings 25 goals if healthy this season. Book it.

I hope you're right.

briere amnesty, unload meszaros, and resign gus for 1.5 (which i think is a conservative number) and they are around 2 mil under with 12 forwards and 9 d-men. waiving mab would also be an option
- FlyerMike18

1.5M is about 500k too much for Gus. He's our #7 dman right now.
Look for him to get between 900-1.1M.

relax, Patience. Flyers have a young core on offense and just improved their D. Let's see who gets bought out and what happens with all that. I wouldn't make a deal without waiting unless it was too good to turn down.

I fully expect Gustafsson to be a regular in the top 6 this Season. I figure he get's around 1.1M or so, also.

- dingo8urbaby

i like it. dingo tellin em how it is

Honestly i'd be 100% ok if the only move we make is Read for Bernier.
do i think thats gonna happen? Nope but i'd be ok with it

all you people saying Briere bought out is our only move... no chance in (frank)ing hell. You guys should know better by now.

This is going to get ugly.

it was just a conservative estimate. i'm well aware that 1.5 is high. i'd rather lean to the high side than low side when guessing a salary in this situation

I fully expect Gustafsson to be a regular in the top 6 this Season. I figure he get's around 1.1M or so, also.
- MJL

RIGHT NOW our top 6 are:
Kimmo-Schenn
Streit-Coburn
Grossmann-Mezzy
I doubt it stays that way, but i wouldnt be surprised at all to see Gus at #7. KIM Flyers might only have space for 2 extra players. Gervais cant be sent down b/c of one way contract and other things. Gus could still be sent down.

Start Gus in the top 6 and upgrade later in the season if need be...
