    I think that is very unlikely. It will cost a fortune to move up.
    Yeah, they'd like to, but in the end I doubt they would give up what it would cost to make it happen.

    its a good draft though. There will be a very good player available at #11

    Possibly Zadurov, Ristolainen, or Pulock as D, Fucale as a Goalie. 2-3 of those guys should be available.

    Unless they maybe make a rush and trade into the 6-10 range if Nurse lingers around.

    I like Ristolainen, Nurse and Pulock. The thing with the Flyers is I dont think they'll draft a D. They dont have the patience, and have never really had good success doing so. Thats why I wont blink an eye if they go with a F.

    Let the Summer Bryz circus begin....
    http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/fly ... galov.html

    He's gotta be bought out if this is true:

    "It's OK, guys," Bryzgalov said, according to a teammate, speaking on a condition of anonymity. "I will get bought out. I will get paid for this deal and I will get paid double to play for a new team somewhere else."

    99% of it is pure BS.

    I believe it's true because they don't know what they're doing.
    Here's what I do believe they will be doing this summer.

    I def think either Coburn or Mez will be dealt.

    I also think they are/will look into moving up into the draft. If they do, Jones would not be the target, either Mackinnon or Drouin would be their guy.

    While they still need a skilled winger to compliment Giroux, Ryan makes too much money. Does Coburn or Mez get moved to help take on upgrade?

    I do believe they are trying to get another youngish goalie in here. They need to have somebody in behind Mason, as trusting him to be the full time starter would be insanity. If they cant find one(price of Bernier/Hiller too high), then they prob keep Bryz around for 1 more year.

    I have read that they're interested in bringing emory back. and possibly brad richards, who I wouldn't touch with a 50' pole.

    Welp, no Bernier. Headed to Toronto.

    Let's see if Holmgren chooses another option, or he sticks with Bryz for another year.

    Would you trade Courtier and the 11th to get the 2nd and grab Seth Jones? I would In a second and apparently it was talked about last week.

    No way florida would agree to that


    Where do all these lol rumors from philly originate from?

    Moving into the top 3 will hurt. Put yourself in the shoes of florida with a free shot at mackinnon, jones, or drouin, would you not want to hang the gm if he agreed to a regressed prospect and the 11 pick?

    Thank Christ.......

    Philadelphia Flyers

    Flyers GM Paul Holmgren issued the following statement with regards to goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.

    “I met with Ilya this morning and informed him that we are going to exercise a compliance buy out of his contract. This was a very difficult business decision to make for us and we want to thank Ilya for his time here and wish him all the best moving forward.”

    More to follow, including video, shortly...

    This team is such a mess. They will be paying him 1.5mil +/- until 2027. Way to do your homework you idiots.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Thats what happens when the Owner gets what he wants. Snider is so desperate to win before he croaks.

    this is a surprise for me and to be honest I am pissed. They could have gone for bernier but who is the starter now? not happy at all.

    now lets all hear about the roberto signing

    IF he gets bought out and clears waivers...who knows.

    After the 2 buyouts and LTIR'ing Pronger, Flyers have a good chunk of money to make some more moves.
    Even more if they deal Mez.

    true but they also have to sign Giroux, B. schenn this year. I don't see Mez being traded unless its for another D-man. we need defense

    Timonen/Coburn
    Streit/Schenn
    Gus or Mez/ Grossman

    I think Mez will be dealt to free up space to help fill a skilled Winger need.
    Another G still needs to be signed.
    Possibly resign Gagne or someone else.

    After todays moves Flyers have $9M in Cap space..NOt counting the $5M that will be available from LTIR Pronger.
