That is what EK said, TSN said multi year deal.

Can you image if after a year he does go back. He would still being paid his buy-out contract, and be given a new contract, most likely for a good chunk of change. He would be the higest paid player ever lol....

Yep, I think TSN is where I read that. Or some writer on twitter mentioned that Vinny is looking for a bridge deal to get him to retirement.

He had a down half-year. He is a starter. He had a .926 in 46 games in 11-12 for the blues. Negating this last bad year, he has a career .918. Bryz has a .913 career. If Halak is more compatible with our system (don't know that he is), then he can be a very solid 1A goalie with Mason.

Jaro is more of a reflex goaltender.

The one catch with me, is that he does have some injury question marks, but I think he would be a decent goaltender to have in the system. I'm biased though, I wanted the Flyers to trade for him back when Montreal was shopping his services.

He also went through some media BS for the Habs with the whole Price/Halak ordeal so its not as if he hasn't dealt with a tough media market before.

My big concern with a guy who is just looking for a 1 year deal, that would allow him to go back to Tampa, is how hard will be dedicate himself and play for the team that gives him the 1 year deal.

Yep, I wouldn't be interested in that sort of deal, I agree.

Great point about Halak....RE: The media.

Hasn't Carey Price been pretty much personally slandered in Hablandia in the past for his commitment? He doesn't seem ready to hide behind his agent's skirt.

Could this mean that the Flyers are making this a defenseman first draft. Asking Pronger his opinions on who he could develop the best. Like Schenn.

Could be. I think I've heard that Pronger has aspirations to be a front office type after his...ahem....playing days are over. This could be an internship, of sorts.

Or, practically speaking, it could simply mean that they pay Pronger a ton of money and need to use him in SOME capacity to justify the expense (regardless of whether or not it's insurance picking up the check or not).

Sorry, I was hasty as I am at work and under a deadline. I didn't mean to suggest Halak is not a good goalie, I think he is and would love to see him in O and B. That said, I'm not sold on trading Read for him because I don't think his trade value and our other options make it worth it at this time. If they don't take a 2nd rounder or less then I put this as a plan C for trading Read for him.

I have a pair of JC's just like them. I call them Jerusalem Cruisers. Looks like what Jesus walked around in.

Anyway, best pair of sandles I ever had. Bostonians. Bought them 5 years ago and wear them anytime I go out in the summer. Most comfortable, long lasting ever. Anyway.... Stop making fun of the JC's.

I think it is hasty to read too much into it but I was thinking the exact same thing

Haha I'd laugh if this off-season ended up being the way I wanted.

Buy out Bryz
Deal Coburn/Hartnell
Draft Zadorov
Bring in mentor for Mason
Sign vet leadership (Jagr or Morrow)

I don't think that's a legit twitter. Or at least I'm not seeing it. Unless this isn't twitter? And if it isn't twitter, it's not a true medium for journalism.

C'mon, you can't call out his sandals as long you've proclaimed your love for the official sandal of treehuggers and aging hippies everywhere.
