Gibson and Fowler for B Schenn and what?

Gibson and Fowler for B Schenn and what?
- jmatchett383

Timonen?

Edit: it would take more than that. Probably + first round pick

Pronger's contract will take up 6.9% of the available cap space on the roster the Flyers submit to start the season. There's no way around that. Keeping Laughton in the AHL until after Pnorger goes on LTIR in favor of a guy like Hall would save a few hundred K. It's not any kind of solution to the problem.

i know. so i take that number with a grain of salt. but still. he at least contributes in some way to them being stacked in the first place.

I know. Thats why the Flyers would have interest in him if you wanted Read.

Timonen?

Would you do it? I would if it was B Schenn, Kimmo, and a first.

I would too. Assuming it was this year's first.

There is a bit more manuverability then you think. Like Raffl and Laughtons contracts can be hidden for 1 day, not including one of the "rookie" d-men that are likey going to make the team. All-in all they arent going to run into the same problem they had with Cleary this summer.

You also want to avoid being over on day 1 of the season... reduces amount of LTIR money available:

Anderson? Not sure

Nah. Anderson is the same age as Mason. I've hitched my wagon to Mason for the foreseeable Future. Im not opposed to getting a goalie, but I'd rather have a younger guy like Gibson.

Sorry to do this, but the Bryz signing just sucks. If they didn't sign him, they could have bought out Pronger and been done with this whole thing. Very frustrating.

No they couldnt have. You cant CBO someone on LTIR.

Anyone have Boucher's number?

Does he need to pass a physical?

Does he need to pass a physical?
- PhillySportsGuy

Has to be cleared to play, so probably.

I do share your sentiments about Bryz though.

Vinny, Streit, Bryz, Briere... really wish they'd quit it with the July 1 fireworks.

Does he need to pass a physical?
- PhillySportsGuy

Come on man, think about it. Why would Pronger forfeit 1/3 of his salary that he earns for doing nothing, to pass a physical, when he can collet his full salary by not passing a phyisical.

I hear this guy is still playing:

Retire with dignity… I wouldn't say the man is hurting for money.
