How many 2nd rounders did we draft that our on our team now?
- Daman

i dunno of the top of my head....

Here's numbers to show you:

Bob's cap hit: 1.75 million
Marty Biron's cap hit: 875 thousand

The difference isn't HUGE but with a hard cap ceiling every bit counts.
- Sink.

Seems like we moved Upshall in the past for the same type of cap savings. If it is almost a million truly, I agree that it is a nice savings.

That trade of Bob was Clarke-esque. Stockpiling picks with the ability to do more.

No worries. No point arguing this.

I like the trade for many reasons anyway. Cap savings, pick, give the guy a chance, etc.

Do you really believe the 45th pick is the next Shea Weber. Of course not..

Nice crystal ball you've got there...

Lots of chirping surrounding a possible #Ducks and #Flyers trade. PHI likes 6 overall.

the trade opens up a few things plus it allow Bob to possible play more...a win win

As much grief as he took here during his 2nd stint as GM, he made many more good trades than bad.

I believe so, not sure though. Know what his cap hit is?
- Richieattack18

he is under contract until July 1st...he contract will expire and he's a free agent

Dustin Leed ‏@D_LEED
With Bobrovsky off the books, the Flyers have nearly $11-million in cap sapce and with Pronger on the LTIR, it's almost at $16-million.

I believe so, not sure though. Know what his cap hit is?
