I hope they use that #2 on Hyka. Liked him in camp last year.
- fnmjoe13


I would be pissed because they could of had him in the 7th round last year and wasted it on some guy that fights....and now they have to use a 2nd to get him!!!

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.

really hope someone who writes about the nhl for a living had some grasp of the offseason cap.

very good return considering how bob has played up to now, but he does have the skill to make us regret it...maybe.

Put up 64pts in QMJHL this past year. Some mocks had him going in the first..though unlikely. Can't do much about last year now.

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.


We gained 875 thousand extra cap room... The difference in JVR salary and Ryan's salary is 850 thousand... Coincidence?

wasnt leighton the best goalie in the ahl last year, i never had an issue with him being a back up
- mydoglicks



He's usually ineffective coming off the bench or after a string of weeks where he hasn't gotten a start -- he's not a viable NHL backup for that reason. It's not surprising that the only time he's been able to stick with a team and in the NHL is when he was in a starting role.

I like Dustin, but sometimes... he makes me want to unfollow him like I've done with a lot of local yokels.
