I find it funny we keep comparing Ott to Raffi Torres but Torres always seems to be a player winning teams want to have on it.

For those interested, here is the twitter link for Bob Mckenzie, the TSN insider.
News and signings appear on here faster than on the TSN site for some reason.

He let me down. He tweeted earlier that Dan Boyle signed with Toronto which was later deleted.

MacDonald will only pocket 125K more per year than Stralman and I'd definately take MacDonald.

But waaah! AMac is the worst deal ever waaaah!

Tostito was in England, I think.
- Tomahawk

You're right. Simmonds played in a D2 league in Germany.

But waaah! AMac is the worst deal ever waaaah!
- jmatchett383

Correct. Deals in TX and FLA are misleading in a way because of not having the taxes. Where in other states they might hve wanted a little more to equal out

Well someone's gotta deliver a flying elbow to the other team's top player as opposed to just yelling at him.

DEL isn't bad... lot of AHL All-Star types and ex-NHL'ers there.

Because we have Ek!

Duh!

lol, I meant the news/signings appear a bit later on the TSN site vs Bob's twitter account.

For those hoping the Flyers may take a run at an rfa, they have no 2nd or 3rd round pick next season.

Im not going to even acknowledge that signing. Hexy forced to shop on the black market.

Oh I am not saying he doesn't do some dumb things. Just that he is a guy that playoff teams always want for the long run.

We should get G's winger...wasn't it Fleury or something?

I know. Some of these deals actually make the MacDonald and Streit deals look like steals. it surely minimizes "how awful" they are.

at this point, I can live with dany Heatley

Yeah, he'd look great until April rolled around.

even with a disappointing post season, Vanek put up 5 goals and 5 assist in 17 games.

how many post season goals did Schenn score? ill give you a clue, its the same as beloved Hartnell scored.

many of you areslotting Brayden on top line... Vanek is a bonafide superstar. That contract is an absolute steal. Would have loved if Flyers gave him that!

Exactly. If you're in a series with the Rags and MSL is lighting you up, you just tap Torres on the shoulder and be prepared to pay his fine.

Must have your own pick to use as compensation I believe. Maybe we return Amac for our 2nd and trade Hartnell to Columbus for our 3rd back.

Well when we pay Braydon Schenn elite goal scorer money, we can compare them.
