don't think so. I could see hartnell going after clarkson early and trying to get him to fight, just to set the tone0 -

I want them to sign weber. If they get an injury exception for pronger (like the did with rathje, primeau, laperriere), that could happen
Carle will most likely not be back.
Timonen will be in his last year of his contract. He is breaking down before our eyes.
They gotta start bringing in some younger guys. This organization just cannot draft goalies or defensemen.
I just dont see them being able to afford Suter or Weber. Did Weber just sign a contract extension?And so you see, I have come to doubt

I would not be surprised... Clarkson has a low threshold for doing soemething stupid:fp:
I expect a very physical game...0 -

Nah, I think suter may have signed, but weber is unrestricted.
They do have gustafsson and bourdon. I don't think either is special, but they could do worse with a 5/6 d-paring. You're right though, they do need some younger guys to fill in on the back end.
re: jvr. Imagine if the NHL didn't institute that dumb lottery? patrick kane would be a flyer. terrible0 -

they would have to give him a roster spot and keep him on LTIR for the 5 remaining years on his contract
There will be a new CBA and this loophole may be closed. One of the things they want to address are rediculously dumb long-term contracts to old guys to circumvent the cap.
Weber is an RFA anyways which makes him harder to pry. They will either have to trade a hefty sum, or lose like 4 1st rounders. He is also going to cost like 8-10 million a season. Pronger is 4.9. They got Carle, Kubina, and Jagr coming off the books, but they will need to fill those spots as well. Plus I think JVR, Coburn, and Grossman are getting nice raises next season, no?

yeah, their coach has done a hell of a job. I like laviolette...think he does a fantastic job, but he's getting schooled in this series0 -
If this goes 7 I have my annual work Phillies game Saturday where we tailgate for 3+ hours
Thirty of us going this year...it could get ugly if we see NJD fansMy drinking team has a hockey problem
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

Suter will be a FA this summer. Teams will be lining up to throw $ his way.
Yes, JVR, Coburn and Grossman will all see raises.
The Flyers can only hope there will be a lockout and new CBA to come after to get rid of that Pronger contract all together.
Question is, do they then also get rid of the Bryzgalov one as well if there isnt a specified limit of contracts to void?Post edited by Dr. Delight onAnd so you see, I have come to doubt

yeah, there seems to be a lot of grey area with these older players. I know there are penalties to signing guys 35+ to longer deals. If they get seriously injured though I think there are ways to get around that stuff. I'm not pretending to know all the ins and outs of that shit. the flyers have been pretty savvy with cap maneuvers though. holmgren will figure something out if pronger is indeed done
you're right, weber is restricted. suter is not (assuming he didn't re-sign).
hopefully they get back in this series and we delay the offesaon talk for a while0 -

Welp, here we go. I remember Game 4 vs. Boston 2 years ago. I loved the way the team was playing and just wanted to keep watching Flyers games, even though they were down 0-3. This team, at this point, is playing like shit, but they are fun to watch and I hope we get another game on Thursday.
