They do have a plan. I actually should of stated that. They go for a quick Band-Aid approach. Its win now mode and there's no patience shown within the organization.
- stveshdy

Like when they did that whole rebuild thing? That was just a quick patch-up then?

I'm hoping for a discount around what Toems and Kane make, so 6.3/yr. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets 7-7.5.
And that would put the flyers in quite the quandry, imo

I will do back flips if they can get him at 7M per.

47 hours and 54 minutes left in Ilya Bryzgalov's Flyers career

this yr or next, buyout is inevitable. hopefully this yr, cause there are enough alternatives and yada, yada, you know the rest.

Toews and his .75 goals per round were amazing

Does "bell rung" = code for concussion?

That's one year out of how many?

In the last 10 seasons they go for the patch up job to try and win it (minus trading Richards & Carter).

just for some perspective:

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 3m
Just nine players played in Hawks Cup win three years ago: Toews, Kane, Sharp, Keith, Bolland, Hossa, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson and Bickell.

Those guys are all their best players. They found a way to keep the core together.

Keith and Seabrook are studs on defense.

The offense speaks for itself.

What do you think Giroux's cap hit will be?
- stveshdy

If it's a penny less than $7.5 million, the Flyers get a huge break.

Not only is he averaging more than a point per game over the last three seasons/200-plus games, he's also got 55 points in 50 playoff games.

Those are the guys who get paid, and deservedly so.

Why didn't we get Patrick Kane

Don't quote me on this, but I think, repeat THINK, I saw something like $8.9 million.

I could be wrong. I do know that Corey Perry and Ryan Getlaf signed for identical salaries of $8.25 million per, and it could be argued pretty easily that Claude Giroux at 25 years old, heading into (likely) an eight-year deal, is worth Ryan Getzlaf money.

Man. I've had bruised ribs and torn cartilage...I can't even imagine what he's going to feel like tomorrow. WOW.

Take some pain meds and he should be fine.

Well... whatever it takes you gotta sign Giroux to the 8 year deal. No excuses.

Im sorry, to me it doesn't matter if he's averaging a ppg. He is average, if that, defensively; and if I'm paying out that kind of money I want a guy that plays his heartb all all 3 zones. I know he's trying to get better defensively, but to get that kind of money, to me at least, you have to be one of the premier forwards in all 3 zones. Again, this is all my opinion.

First order of business is to get rid of the goalie. Obviously he is a distraction to the team and the players didn't have many good things to say about him (exit interviews) based on "rumors".
- stveshdy

Just can't afford that salary for average play especially with that contract length. Just let that contract go before he slips on a banana peel.

I really hope the Flyers find a way to get this kid Darnell Nurse. He is going to be a beast.

So what do you do? Not sign him?

- stveshdy

Ha! Yeah. That whole "breathing, sitting down and standing up without excruciating pain when you move wrong" is completely overrated!

So what do you do? Not sign him?
