hi marc

agree but please include giroux in the list

I think Homer is systematically addressing the key needs of the Flyers. He cut the fat with Bryz and Briere (addition by subtraction, esp with Bryz), he added a top puck moving D man, beating lots of teams to the punch in trading for and adding Streit, he got bigger up front (something he said he wanted to do) with Lecavalier. I am pret-tay, pret-tay impressed. A tip of the cap (no pun intended) to Snider and Comcast as well, for greenlighting the buyouts...that's a lot of coin they are eating.

I don't know what's coming, but I would imagine it would involve jettisoning a D man or two (Mez/Coby) and possibly acquiring an upgrade there (hopefully without giving up top assets, but you have to give to get if the player is worth it (i.e, top pairing caliber D man under 30 yrs old).

If I were them right now, I'd:

1- Lose a D man: Mez or possibly Coby depending on the deal...

2- Sign a short term veteran goalie: Thomas - ideally 1 year deal, 2 max...3-4 mil max...Emery 2-3 yrs, 2.5 mil max per, Nabokov 2-3 mil 1 or 2 yrs., Theodore, or maybe a trade for Halak or give a Khodobin a shot on a Mason like contract and see if one of them emerges...

3 - SIGN GAGNE - he's going to want to be part of this thing...he'll take a discount and he's still a very good two-way hockey player.

Coburn for halak straight up?

I'd do it

I wouldn't. And I don't think St. Louis would either.

They need to shed a little salary, and they're loaded on the blueline.

Depending on the cost, I'd take Clarke MacArthur over Gagne.

I think the Flyers are putting a lot of stock in Mason, which I have a strange/crazy feeling that I do too and he deserves it.

St.louis has around 15 million to sign 2 players. Their cap is fine.

G is a given

come on you guys

St.louis has around 15 million to sign 2 players. Their cap is fine.
- jstross

They're not a cap team. They have a smaller internal budget.

I wouldn't. And I don't think St. Louis would either.

They need to shed a little salary, and they're loaded on the blueline.
- bradleyc4

Not sure if they would. I think they have a hole in their top 4.

Jackman-polak is the 5-6 pairing

They could potentially sport coburn and shatty on the 2nd pairing, and jbow is only signed one more year.

I do the deal, halak and mason is a pretty solid duo
