He played 23:31 per game in 12-13 when they were a playoff team.

Always loved that. It's a bit uncoordinated, but it's 2 guys just swinging haymakers, no covering up/tying up. And anyone who's willing to punch Corey Perry is good in my book.

If you truly wanted to disregard, you wouldn't have brought it up. The reality is that if MacDonald improves over last year, and plays to his ability, it's not an issue. It would really only be a slight overpayment.

Other than Umberger and Lecavalier, they don't have any other contracts that are a problem. Flyers cap issues have always been overblown. Even the Lecavalier and Umberger situations are more of a speed bump, than a cap road block. There's always cap panic in Philadelphia.

One of my all time favorite Richards clips was this fight with Corey Perry back in their junior days. Richie hung in there with him pretty good:

That Holmgren loves bargaining as much as an Arab trader. Only he's twice as shrewd.

I'll throw in a NMC and tie our cap up.

You've got a deal!
