Buffalo isn't a winning team?
- PhillySportsGuy

They couldn't even win the draft lottery...

If his facts were the "full" facts I wouldn't call BS on him as much as I do.....his # s are correct but there are other hurdles that render them disingenuous.....you can't circumvent the cap. There are safeguards built in....no matter how hard he wishes to argue the point.

Please point out how the numbers that were posted circumvent the cap? Now stuff is just being made up. You tell me how, and I'll show you how that's wrong. Complete with references to back it up.

Well played sir, I did temporarily forget Orpik. Perhaps the Bolland trade weighs more for me because Vinny would have been a better option for them and at less.

I think you need to consider that Florida needed to reach the cap floor too. When a team like the Flyers overpays, it's much worse because they usually spend up to the cap.

Florida won't get anywhere near the cap ceiling. They likely will be a cap floor team throughout Bollands entire deal.

I guess Bolland looks bad because he is a third line center really. Seems a bit much for a guy I don't think posted over 50 points ever.

Emery
Brodeur
Thomas
Nabokov
Vokoun
Giguere

Not sure about Vokoun since he hasn't played for a year. Did well the previous year. 99.8% sure Giguere is retiring.

Quiet day if your a Flyers fan !!!!

So bored, I can't get that Trivago hotel commercial song out of my head....

When you think about it, that guy in the commercial with no belt is kinda creepy also.

Emery
Brodeur
Thomas
Nabokov
Vokoun
Giguere

Is Vokoun healthy?

Nabokov, Broduer, Emery, Thomas, Giggy

But I'll admit the line is thin between them, very thin

Good news is it's a buyers market, we should get a good deal

Worst signing of the day thus far: Bolland @5.5M 5yr?

or

Orpik

no question

John Curry might be worth a look... good enough for Team USA in the past.

His max bonus is only $1.5m. It's not an Iginla-type situation.
- Feanor

I thought it was 2M base and 2M in bonuses?

didnt the Minnesota Wild sign him?

That seems to be what Dom Brown does in left field as well

I call BS on that premise. If they NEED salary then why compliance buyout Jovo or sign Bolland for 5 years. 5 years with all that wonderful youth is a receipt for disaster IMHO. He has never had a 20 goal season. I know hockey is more then goals but 5.5M for a third line center coming off injury. Terrible

You honestly think that it's reasonable that with the shortage of available quality defenseman in the League, that a quality player like Ehrhoff was only contacted by one team?
- MJL

So you are saying it is inconceivable that the first team he talked to he signed with.. and didnt look elsewhere?

Not according to capgeek.

- watsonnostaw

Haha yeah, rode the carousel w/ Bryz

Jim stark is having an explosion over MacDonald on Twitter

If Hexy can get some bargain basement deals for a couple solid forwards I'll be happy.

Kulemin still available, right ?
- MrBigglesworth

Yes he is along with setoguchi,heatley,riberio,booth, grabovski and ott

Free Agency is a two way street. Teams can contact him. And lot of times it's just faxes of offers sent to an agent. I'd be willing to bet that he received a bunch of interest and offers.

Flyers should sign Heatley for 1 year 1 m

I'd bet my house on it...

Orpik

Agreed.

In my defence I will say:
