Honestly im loving the offseason. Bellemare could be another find for the middle grouping like a raffl on the cheap. Hextalls focusing on cleaning the cap sheet for the team to make some real noise in 3 years. This is a long term process trying to identify an elite defender for the club. But I think their giving themselves a great chance with the batch of young D

Agreed. Thus far Hextall has stated a plan and has stuck with it. No deals that saw them ship off picks, stayed out of the insanity of the FA market, didn't eat a ton of cash just to dump Vinny...the long term impact should be a good one

He came because the Flyers could pay him more here than he was getting in the Czech leagues. Prior to that he never had the least interest in coming over .Being friends with Cechmanek was a selling point, but Dopita had been approached several times prior to joining the Flyers.

As Bill wrote in about Bellemare, he was going to join the Blackhawks prior to getting injured after a head shot. He knows he's getting a shot to be a depth guy, not expecting to be handed a top line role.

Either side can opt out of this CBA around the 8th year I believe. With the way spending is and will be you think they've learned anything?

You know when I knew there'd be another lockout? As soon as the last one ended. Greedy bastard vs greedy bastard.

The serious injury he suffered after a cheap shot that knocked him out for a year.

Just watched game 7 of the 1987 Final. Still disappointed me more deeply than 2010. After they won game 6, I was certain they were winning game 7. God, I loved those mid 1980's teams.

Millionaires arguing with billionaires about money. It's a (frank)ing disgrace.

I don't believe so.

The hit was by Robin Jacobsson, resulted in a skull fracture

I see.

Yeah I can't remember. It was a while ago...when he first got a contract I think. Maybe he was the one that laid the hit?

Meh. Whatever.
