Jimmy Stizzle too!

the Heat had 300,000 at the parade...I didnt think Miami had that many fans for any team

I was going to say "that's it?" until I looked up the population of Miami Dade County. It's less than 3 million so I guess 10% turnout is pretty good.

The problem is Parise and Suter are currently too busy counting the cash as we speak. The announcement will come as soon as their done.

I want to tweet something, but I really have nothing to tweet about

Sure, because Nashville won't just do the same to us when we have a young guy hitting RFA status. BTW, isn't Giroux hitting that point soon? Couturier, Read, Schenn
- steelydan

I have a feeling theyll lock G up before it comes to that.


And do you really fear Nashville going after our young prospect Dmen coming up the pipeline?

He knows something. Expect some big news soon!

If Weber accepts an offer sheet it costs them 4 first round picks, and you only guarantee to have him for 1 year. umm no

I had heard 7 mill in the miami/ft lau area?

Why am I not surprised Carle is a wine drinker.

G will be up in two years, you really think if the Flyer are putting out over $200 million for two guys not currently in the organization, they would somehow not overpay to keep their own already here?

Anyway as I stated in the earlier post, it is highly unlikely it will happen. However, the team has tried the tactic twice before.

Maybe thats the play if Suter just chooses to go back to Nashville. Check and Mate



Any word on the finnish flash yet?

Been on a big Storage Wars kick lately. Hopefully Flyers are giving other teams the Dave Hester treatment by jumping the bid early on two good lockers (Parise/Suter) so that they're outta pocket money when the sweet locker (Weber) comes us for bid.

I'm really hoping the team that signs Parise / Suter will make the announcement by just tweeting YYYUUUPPP!

Eddy for Weber straight up.

Eddy who??

Actually you can offer a player multi-years in an offer sheet for a RFA. I'm pretty sure at least.

if that's the case, it might come back to kick them in the ass because free agents are signing while they wait...

- aosplayo

I'm not so sure that G will agree to a contract until he's played out his current contract. Why sell yourself short, it's clear that he can get top 5 money, if not top 3.

And no, I don't fear them coming after our young prospect Dmen at all. Hence, I named Couturier, Read, and Schenn. Not sure where you pulled that comment out from.....

Yea and thats the deal that they have to match, as far as I understand it.

Oh I was only thinking theyd be looking at D to replace Weber, wasn't insinuating thats what you meant, sorry if thats how it read.

The Flyers have a knack for signing guys they like, like JVR, before it goes to RFA. Atleast I think thats what happened with JVR.....

I wonder why the GMs don't do more offer sheets... it is a bit of a bastard move

GMs can offer them all they want, players still need to sign them.
