I hear you. But it looks like Shero is only going to.offer so much. If they do trade him Bobby Ryan plus from Anaheim is a good bet. Sid gets his winger...

I have to admit that I am surprised Steve Montador never played a game for the Hawks this season, not that they ever needed him. I've always loved his game and I see nothing within his stats that accuse him of being a bad player, plus he is only 33. I would take a flyer on him. Montador could be more a cap relief.

He missed over half the Season with a concussion. They then sent him to the AHL.

He's slow and takes too many penalties. Sign me up!

Okay thanks. I think Montador is an upgrade to Gervais. If we could dump Gervais and for Montador, I would be roll around happy.

I would stay away from him if that's the case. Good player but not for $6M per.

Someone will overpay just as long as it isnt us.. I'd only want him in the 4-5m range no more.. Not that he even addresses our two biggest issues. Id like the goalie situation to be solved before we go after anyone else

Holmgren has some work to do at the draft and during UFA. Hopefully he can fill the needs without hurting another area.

I think he uses Read & Coburn as his trade chips.

Probably would like to use Mez but he wont be cleared until late July.

So the Flyers next free agent or trade transaction will be in 2034?

It's crazy.

Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Martin and Fleury = $32,400,000. Then think about adding Letang's proposed $7 million on top of that and you have 6 players earning just under $40 million of a $64 million cap.

- wolfhounds


Letang's proposed new deal wouldn't kick in until the 2014/2015 season, when the cap will rise.
Still, pretty good chunk of the cap going to those guys.

Good point and he's much older then Gervais but it's not like it can't be done. I expect Gervias to become the whipping boy this season. I don't like his game at all. I'm surprised he isn't whipped on already. He isn't nearly as much as Randy Jones, Matt Carle, Andreas Nodl or Kyle Calder. I think Bruno Gervais fits in perfectly.

We have enough players who have had concussions.

Horton is a solid player but at $6M per that's too much.
