this was a damn long week, because of this!!!
- puckhead17

Agreed.

You have to imagine that's going to change. At least I hope.

Guys in the Pens blog are speculating Letang didn't sign that 8 year, $56 million deal because it didn't contain a NTC.

Players need to get over it. It's not like they're making minimum wage and then being asked to move them and their families to another city... Suck it up.
- wolfhounds

Letang didn't sign b/c he will probably make more money on the open market.

F'n Howard...nice lame hit into a DP.

Where would your rate the Flyers heading into next season? Top 16 team? Top 8? Top 4?
- stveshdy

Id say Top 20, I mean I dont even know who the goalie is. Im sweating just thinking about this because the homer inside says oh yea they got talent, itll click this year, top 12, but then Im like they were terrible last year. **Runs and grabs pudding from the fridge, stuffs face**

we were happy to almost get to .500 last season

See, there u go, Thank you!!! you made my point, they are expected to be bad, so a gunslinger GM walks in & unclogs the toilet of a team, and everyone goes WOW! who's that guy? he's the guy who unclogged the toilet of a crap team for 30 years
He did, he did, No they will be crappy anyway & no one cares, different job then what's going on on the ice

That's just basketball in general. Many cities could careless about it. How would you list the Philadelphia fans?

1. Eagles
2. Phillies
3. Flyers
4. Sixers
- stveshdy

Id agree with this, though for me its

1. Flyers
2. Eagles
3. Sixers if theyre good
4. Phils

I just like Bball better than baseball

It will be interesting to see what happens here. I think Letang is a fool. Additionally, any GM that trades major assets to Pitt for him in addition to giving him $8+ million for 8 years on top of a NMC/NTC needs to have his f'n head examined.

Yea. It's exciting. Maybe people will start to care.

I don't like the nba. Unless my team contends

Doesn't make much sense. No team needs to cave in to the asking price of Pitts for Letang.

That's better than I thought Pitt would offer if true. Letang is as greasy as he looks i guess

a .500 sixers team is like winning the stupid championship

- stveshdy

if it's true he wants to go to the Leafs then it may not matter

Who? Quite a few of us wanted more losses (after it was clear we weren't a PO contender) for a higher draft pick.

Hinkie strikes again. Another trade.

After all the talk the Pens couldn't afford him, I'm shocked they (appareently) offered Letang $7 million for 8 years. And I'm doubly shocked he didn't take it.

What now?
- jstross

Traded Wolters to Bucks for Ledo and then moved Ledo to Atlanta. This guy is out of his mind.

Omg.

I know it sounds crazy, but they may have no choice some day I don't see them having balance paying 2 guys to be the franchise guy.
