For once you (frank)ing nailed it. Bleh bleh bleh.

They both got raises! On their worst seasons in the league.

I like PEB at that number and term....I mean he's better the the two poopty UFAs he signed last summer. Nuevy got back up $ besides he's starting a family he needs the extra cash.

Quite possible. Tells you the quality of player you have. In other words, play out the string and don't bring them back.

Doesn't matter, as per Team Negative everything ever is the fault of the Flyers.

I think Edmonton would demand Manning in any deal. Manning and Mason for Eberle seems to make too much sense not to happen.

John Shannon saying that Neuvy exposed and Stollie as their only protected tender for the ED.

I guess goalies with save percentages under .900 can get contracts
- YuenglingJagr



thats a little unfair. he has a career .911 save percentage in 224 games. My issue is more that I just don't see him as a workhorse everyday starter which I do think Mason can handle. I just think Mason is the better goalie.

Hexy must really like stollie and Lyons. I hope stollie gets at least 10 games with the Flyers this year and Lyons get pretty much every game for the Phantoms the rest of the way

I asked that earlier, but you`re right.. I can`t see it. 1 the money doesn`t work, and 2 the term Bishop will want means that if he was signed he`d surely block one of the young guys in a couple years.

If he gets snagged in the expansion draft, ya never know. But even in that scenario I don't see them giving Bishop the big contract he's sure to get.

Re PEB: I'm cool with the new deal, he's an effective 4C and PKer. Hopefully he'll have some better wingers to play with next season

Re Neuvirth: This is all about the expansion draft. Don't be surprised if he gets if he gets taken, they won't be exposing anyone else that's much better. If he stays, he battles it out with Stolarz for the top spot next year and if he goes they'll just sign another vet to do the same.

I don't see him going in the expansion draft. Though the Vegas GM did draft him.

I think all of us who watch the Flyers closely and are not named 2real would say that. Mason is the better goalie, but I think they`ve decided to open the job up for the young guys to take it. Although I don`t expect it, what the hell happens if Neuvy gets taken in the ED??
