No kidding... seems like forever ago, but they already made their splash w/ the AMac signing.

I hate the Braves and their racist chant
- PhillySportsGuy

yes

This.

My idea of a fun July 1 is watching every other team over-spend on this mediocre UFA class... and the Flyers kicking back and waiting for the value buys to surface late-July/August.

You guys have identified it already today: backup goalie, depth forward, and a 7th defenseman, since Hextall prefers a veteran.

No need to rush out there for that, even if they did have a lot of cap space.

I'm blaming you if this comes to fruition

I really hope the Pens make some awful signing like Vanek for 7 years
- PhillySportsGuy

Vanek would score about 43 goals with Pensburgh.
Might get 0 in the post season though.

Homer was an above average GM, not great. I'm not going to discount two Conference Finals and a Stanley Cup Final. If he was in Nashville, he would probably be a minority owner of the team at this point. He liked to swing for the fences on pretty much every occasion when maybe going for the safer play was the better option.

I enjoyed his tenure because he certainly kept things interesting. Hexy has the opportunity to build this team into a lasting power if he can solve the cultivation of homegrown blueline talent and shy away from long multi-year extensions to players in their 30's in most situations, IMO.

your guys did well getting rid of Kneel

Hornqvist is a heck of a player and will go to the crease to score

Just look at his dumb (frank)ing face

i know. and i agree.

i dont know, that just doesnt inspire hate in me. im fairly apathetic about the eagles, so i guess that has something to do with it. but still. i follow the nfl pretty closely, and hate A LOT of guys in the league. he just makes me chuckle.

I think he was a good GM, but was too liberal with money. He had his ups and downs. He wasn't the best, but we certainly could have had worse

i like hornqvist.

its the throw in that is causing me to be a tad lukewarm still.

ive heard such a variance of reviews on spaling, its ridiculous.

I hate that he just got hot at the right time and won two Super Bowls. He's not even that good of a QB. He's just some dumb (frank)ing guy who got hot at the right time. Thats it

4th line energy guy, no biggie either way

pens needed a bit more depth on their bottom 6, he's a solid pick up

yeah. ive read hes looking for like 2.5 mil though.

for that, he better be better than simply a slightly more spry craig adams.

nah. if his last name wasnt manning, he isnt even the first overall in his draft year.

he CAN be a damn solid qb though. but he needs ideal situations set up around him.

if the boat is sinking, hes going down with it.
