No I said ELC years are something that is considered before making a decision to keep or send someone down. Then you said, ELC years are not an issue In Your Opinion. I was just pointing out that its not your opinion the Flyers will be consulting when deciding whether or not starting a players contract this year is a good or bad idea.

So I'll repeat, but they will consider your opinion? So what's the sense of even mentioning that? We're both clearly giving our opinions. So the comment makes zero sense. Unless of course there is another agenda.

Philly just has way too much poverty. And apparently the agreed upon solution is to cut education funding.

I have a friend that goes to Cabrini which heading west on rt 30 about a half hour...in the suburbs.

Well, we picked up Lancaster ave around 46th street....it's unbelievable. It's like a switch was flipped.

Fine....fine....fine.....then 53rd street comes up and ROLL EM UP. People walking around with "limps".....

We passed a "dry cleaner"- it was all decrepit and beat up....paint flaking off and poop- The Cleaners. Spelled The Kleeners

Then we got to a Jaguar and a BMW dealership just outside of 69th...suddenly there was trees and grass. It's nuts how that poop just ends and starts boom like that.

Lancaster is hilarious like that because it goes from slums to literally some of the richest towns in America just like that. All within a mile or two.

To me your comparing apples to oranges. I don't get why they get compared. There as some days I'd rather go to NYC for what it offers and others I'd rather be in Philly. Two totally different things IMO.
- mrhattrick27


I know what you mean. Theres more to do in NYC but it's so crowded. I hate trying to maneuver around asians with cameras all the time. (No offense to any asians on the board)

Correct. You can use the LTIR savings to make it work though.
- jmatchett383



What's LTIR? Actually most people are unaware of what LTIR actually is.

Am I the only one who thinks that populating the new Atlantic Division with zero members of the previous Atlantic, AND having nothing to do with the Atlantic Ocean is kind of stupid?

And can someone explain to me why the East now has 16 teams to the Wests 14 and both divisions get 8 playoff spots?

A savings attributed to your team based on your current cap and the salary cap ceiling gained when a player is injured for an extended period???

I know if I ran a city with a serious crime (murder) and poverty problem my solution would be to keep the poor kids on the streets day and night...because surely they will find a safe, legal, constructive way to fill their time.

Absolutely. We would need to force the kids out of the libraries just to keep them from studying so much.

Put a large fence around the ghetto, air drop 2500 hand guns.
Provide scarce food and health provisions.
