Right? How much do they need to do? No much.

4 each? What does everyone think razor will get? Giroux, while worth it, just got paid. I was hoping it would be less.

I was thinking it would be 2 each? We will find out tommorow

Seems cheap, where do I sign? Other guesses?

Unnecessary to advise us of that. It's a deal breaker for Homer if not included in his contracts.
- 77rams

so true.

But Giroux's new cap hit will be for the 14-15 season right? That's when Timonen's salary will come off the books.

I still believe if they move Coburn, somehow they are getting back a better d-man for his slot. Although to accomplish this change, doesn't necessarily mean Coburn will be involved to acquire his replacement in my opinion.

i do as well.

In case anyone was wondering, fireworks in AC were very good this year.

I hope it doesnt happen. Team looks good. Lets drop the puck and assess from there. Anyways how much is Razor going to get?

They have spent really no assets to make changes to the roster this offseason other then cap dollars. I have a few theories, crazy ideas actually. I really never thought they could or would be able to sign Vinny. I think that deal opens up a lot of possibilities now.

g signed, emery a flyer, great day

dream scenario- meaning unrealistic- would be to back up the truck and unload enuf to pry bogo from WPG. don't see us going the offer sheet route though...

Razor got paid $1.5 million for the Hawks. I have to believe he will get at least $2.3-$2.5 for at least two years, no more then three.

so true.

And the cap is suppossed to up around 506 million.

I'm slightly disappointed Holmgren couldn't get a deal that was slightly below market value for Giroux. IMO, Giroux isn't worth the cap hit he will get and the Flyers will regret it. I like Giroux a lot but I just don't think he's at the top tier. If it were up to me, Giroux would get Richard/Carter'ed before his NMC kicks in.

Emery signed?

Hoping and praying read stays

I agree it won't be the offer sheet route. G and Vinny are the top 2 centers for easily the next 3 years presumably. In theory, you have 3 guys capable of filling the third center spot long-term. For me, the 4th line center should be a vet with a strong defensive presence and face-off ability (ie - Hall, and those guys usually can be found pretty easily and rather cheaply). They have assets to move that teams covet.

I'm starting to believe one of the young guys (Schenn or Couturier) are about to be traded. I'm cool with it if it gets them a great return.

I thought an 8.25 hit might come with a limited ntc

Guess not. Your right. I don't like the deal.

The flyers brass in a sense want to believe he's worth that. Not much squeezing going on

7.5

The Hall resigning is fishy.

It's the Flyers, what type of question is this...
