Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Reserve List, Lokomotiv Memorial, Brind'Amour

Bryz gave up 6 goals in a exhibition game in the middle of the summer? We're screwed.

Anyone think that the the Flyers will be inviting a veteran free agent or two to camp, a la Blair Betts & Bill Guerin?

Are you kidding me? We have Leighton as a back up! No way we are screwed.... oh wait

I think there's a pretty good chance that Mike Knuble gets a tryout invite if he doesn't get a contract offer elsewhere before camp.

Well...he is a RW, like Jagr...and he is 40, like Jagr...but is there any gas left in the tank? Don't get me wrong, I hated to see him go but there is probably a reason the Caps have passed thus far. What do you think he might cost, Bill?

I'd have to think that he would be willing to play for around 1M.

Probably an incentive laden one year deal for around $1mm or so. I'd assume they'd be looking at him as a 3rd liner with some size and maybe a part time PP piece.

Wasn't he too slow 4 years ago?

I'd pass.

As much as we want to "fantasy" wheel and deal here, we have a great team. I'd rather sign Arnott if we're going big and slow.

J-Bo and this charity game.

Nice to see the players give back.

Really?

it was an exhibition game.....much like an all star game they are there going through the motions, and just having a good time. I seriously hope you don't think that him playing in this game is any indication on how he will be during the season.

You do realize that "fantasy" wheeling and dealing is sort of the purpose of a hockey trade rumor website, right? Or should off season discussion be limited to the Corsi ratings of various members of the Phantoms?

How can that game not sell out a 7k seat venue??

sorry...from my experience sarcasm comes from your delivery of tone and wording...not the wit of your fingertips

And I am sort of saying I'll pass. Great guy but I don't see the benefit for our team. He's not a checker, he is slow, and on a second PP unit I would take Simmonds.

It would have sold out if Coots was there to b-slap Malkin.

That's fine, but I have seen you rip people on here before for discussing "fantasy trades", which seems kind of dumb considering the website is built on trade rumors.

Bryz giving up 6 goals is almost as telling as Radulov scoring 4. Radulov is surely the next NHL MVP...

Wait, he isnt playing in the NHL?

Never heard of him, must be new around here.

I think discussing realistic scenarios is cool.

I find it hard to believe that I would rip anyone. A gentleman, such as myself, would not do such things.

I do find some comments a little over the top, such as any "trade" or "signing" similar to what a Leaf fan would suggest (e.g. Kadri for Crosby).

Have we traded for Bobby Ryan yet?
