I want that to become a term he can use regularly. "Hi Jerome, this is Paul Holmgren from the Flyers. We're prepared to offer you the Homer Special. How does that sound?"

Yeah it's not as bad as I thought. He's had injury problems the last few years though. He's like Gagne. 33 going on 38.

Exactly... if he came at a reasonable price I wouldnt mind it...

He also works at the Camden Aquarium. He was manning the shark petting tank when i was there a couple of months ago. Hand written name on his name tag. I did a double take and then looked at the tag. Definitely him.

I think its safe to say that alot will change from now till next offseason..

Timonen retires (6mill off the books)
Cap increase (probably between 6-10 mil)

Thats anywhere from 12-16 mill right there..

No, but I'd love for the Flyers to hire Rod Brind'Amour as their new strength/conditioning coach and 3rd line center.

I heard Tom in accounting took an apple out of Cindy's lunch.

But you didn't hear that from me.

That'd be pretty cool.

Step 1. Do not eat perogies.
Step 2. See "Step 1."

I sure hope Tom didn't take Cindy's cherry.

HR may need to be consulted.
