    Carle will be gone.
    JVR will prob be dealt to bring in a young d-man to fill the Carle/Pronger spots
    Jagr- doubtful he comes back. His quotes there sound like he's lobbying for a new contract. Really, this has been your most enjoyable year? C'mon now. He clearly ran out of gas after the regular season. He could not keep up to the players on his own line.
    Kubina is gone.

    Voracek will be resigned.
    Bourdon prob signed.

    They will need to sign/trade for at least 2 D-men if Carle doesnt come back. He will be looking for $$$, and frankly, I dont think he's worth it.

    First we have to wait to see what happens with the new CBA. That will affect the Flyers off season plans big time.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    Doesn't Pronger need to decide whether or not to retire for cap reasons. The sooner he makes a decision, the better for the Flyers. Too bad all our young talent is on O. We need some D.

    Fuckin Jersey :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Keep banging your in-laws Marty!!
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Pronger has the goofy contract. if memory serves, they will need to go LTIR each season. i could be wrong.

    No... even if he retires, his salary counts against the cap. However, if he isn't medically cleared to play, they can put him on LTIR, and essentially their salary cap gets raised the amount of his contract (like Boston has been doing with Marc Savard).

    With the new CBA, who knows if there will be any sort of change to that though.

    I think they are going to make a play for (and overpay) Suter.

    LTIR for Pronger... I dont think they will eliminate that in the CBA as its a good bone for the NHLPA.

    I believe Bryzgalov is signed through 2020? Ouch. Maybe theyll trade Bryz for Luongo. :lol: :corn:

    Can't believe people are pinning this on Bryz. He was their best player in the series. They scored ONE FUCKING GOAL last night. Hard to win like that.

    Team basically stunk ever since JVR came back. He was horrendous this series. If he wasn't healthy he should've stayed in the press box and not interfered with the chemistry.

    Another choking Phila sports team. I just don't understand how this franchise has gone so long without a Cup. They are always in it, and never win it. It's just mystifying.

    Sports in 2012 have been absolutely horrible. I need a break.

    I know. Even if Bryz doesn't screw up that clearing pass for a goal, it's still 1-1. You can't win a game 1-1.

    team was absolutely lost out there ... NJ just played a complete team game - they clogged the neutral zone so you couldn't carry the puck in and when you tried to dump it - brodeur's superior stick handling nullified the forecheck ... you guys just couldn't figure out a way of breaking down their system ... NJ also played with superior composure - they didn't fall for any of the cheap shots and stayed clear of the penalty box ...

    Couldnt figure out why the Flyers were still trying to goon it up down 2-1 in a 3-1 series. Wasted time and opportunity. Gave NJ powerplays which they finally converted on to make it 3-1. Then the Lou Lamariello neutral zone bog-down occurred and it was good night.
    In that situation, its time to stop going for the big hits and cheap shots. Time to get some puck possession and pressure in the NJ zone.

    Not saying he's the reason they lost, but that 2nd goal last night was the worst thing I have ever seen

    I think they were trying to become emotionally vested in the series. Before the big hits in last night's game this series was pretty much a pillow fight. Rare that you see two teams go through a series without hating one another, which is exactly how this series went.

    Now I don't care what happens in the playoffs. Just please, someone beat the stinkin rangers

    he should be wearing carter's 17

    yes, I went there. he's entering that territory for me. package him and bob in a trade

    frustrating end to a fun season. they have work to do but the future is bright. worst part is that the biggest question is the same thing it's been for 25 fucking years :roll: (yes, I know bryz was solid vs NJ, but he's still more of a question mark than answer at this point)

    carter and richards in the conference finals again. less points and worse position this year and same level of playoffs....want to reconsider the 'these trades were steals' comments?

    as for Bryz cleary the Flyers didn't check out his personality or didn't seem to care that they guy is basically nuts. 8 more years...might be the worst contract in philly now?

    Roman Checkmanek was absolutely nuts, and he was probably the best goalie the Flyers have had in the last 20 years. The problem there was that he showed up his teammates who couldnt score to save their lives.

    Wonder what he is up to these days.

    carter was a great deal....

    however, i think a case could be made that the richards deal was not as good....jury is still out on it

    schenn and simmonds both had pretty good years. and both were great vs pitt.

    I love richards but he got another concussion this year (hasn't been the most durable guy) and his contract was pretty ridiculous (something like 8 more years). I see why the flyers got out from under that commitment.
