Ouch

and Weber is signed 7.8 mill plus the poison pill bonuses

Shows the escalation of perceived value vs actual value....

Sounds about right. Though everyone seems to be suggesting he'd replace Grossmann in the lineup. That leaves only Coburn and LSchenn as your physical presence.

It does, but I'd rather have another guy who can legitimately play on a top pair than a physical guy who is limited by his skating & puck moving abilities

He's the only top pairing defenseman on the market. Unless you view Niskanen as one.

If I could guarantee a Stanley Cup next season, would you change the name of the Flyers to the Nicolas Cages for 1 year. Logo would change to a picture of Nicolas Cage as well.

Hmmm, here's a tasty little morsel to digest if B. Schenn is dealt for blueline help. A potential intriguing addition to help bolster the bottom six forwards?

Absolute max 5 yrs, $5.5-6mm. He was a lot more attractive at $4mm
- Jsaquella

I'd pass on that unless Amac or Striet are traded for a LW. We have too many high paid guys, and while Erhoff might be a number 1 right now, though some would say a 1B or 2A (if you will) 6M would look terrible with the other contracts and inevitable decline in three years. Just my opinion though.

Doesn't matter. Stats over an entire career mean nothing. They can be spun however you want them to be. Gretzky was either great or just average and a product of the players around him. We'll never really know.
