Well, it could be worse, at least we aren't stuck with Clarkson for 6 more years at 5.25 million!

At least he can skate without a cane still, clarkson needs to be traded to Russia.

Well if VL is skating with a cane, I guess Clarkson is playing with his eyes closed?? Cmon, 5 goals and 11 points in 60 games? for 5.25 million?

Leafs fans shouldn't be ridiculing any contracts other than their own players.

Finders Keepers. Flyers are stuck with Vinny now

It could be worse, we could have Clarkson

EDIT: Leight

- jerseyleaf

pretty much....
I think the contract is untradeable. Vinny still scored 20 times last year. Four of those goals were clutch too. Plus he is a locker room leader I don't know why he has become such a whipping boy for the fans. Its rally not all that bad. With his age and injuries, he is likely not going to play out all five years of his contact anyway..... LTIR and what not.

Definitely welcome more stuff like this and your lists for sure. the off season is long

1 - Can't say most beloved in the sense of that statement but one of my faves was Mark Messier. yes I know he played for the Edmonton team that beat us twice and the MUCH hated Rangers but I really admired the way he played. the other 3 ended up playing for the Flyers so they don't count but I am talking about prior to coming here.......JR, Pronger and Forsberg (yes, loved watching him despite the Lindros trade

2 - Barnaby and kasparaitis are two that pop in my head

I respected Messier, however like is a different story.

To put Pronger on LTIR after the season officially starts, the Flyers would have to get under the $69M cap. One possible way to do this is to trade Grossmann for a pick. If they could do that they would have almost the entirety of Pronger's $4.94M cap hit in usable space. They could use that to recall players from the minors, and sign UFAs.

Last season they used the space to recall Adam Hall, and to sign Hall Gill.

just a tad less effective than Clarkson, but we'll give Pronger the edge since we can re-spend his cap dollars

Oh 1967. You must be a Yankees fan too....what's coming...1918?
