    The Miller/Vanek talk is there as well. I'd pass on that one.

    I don't see the flyers paying for Vanek. he gets paid too much now. Miller would be interesting since he only has 2 years left on his contract.

    he has a no trade or movement clause so I don't see him being traded.

    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.

    capgeek says that they are only 4 million under the cap. not counting pronger
    Youre right, I didnt count Mez's salary
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    to be fair, no one really saw bob being what he was. still i blame lavi for that one. he gave up on Bob way to soon in the playoffs.

    so in Mason we trust i guess!

    i agree, but he played well enough to earn more strarts with the flyers. the round robin goalie situation a couple years back in the playoffs was not a good scenario.

    so here are your free agent goalies out there. do we risk going for another coyotes goalie or do you go for a veteran like nabokov?

    I agree on that. Lavi fucked up that playoff year.

    Miller has 1 year left. I could see the flyers trading for him, maybe contingent on a new extension.

    Disagree on vanek. He is a dynamo and one of the most talented offensive players in the league. His problem is he takes a beating every night in front of the net and in the corners. He gets lingering injuries and slumps. He plays hurt. My physical therapist is the sabres' trainer. He says some nights hevis in shock vanek suits up. I would love the sabres keeping him, the problem is we are looking at a rebuild and it is likely he does not want to waste his best years in that situation.

    Buffalo has a good number of prospect d-men too wich means sekera could be tradeable. I could see buffalo and philly trading... especially because they are much less likely to meet in the playoffs now and play less vs in the regular season

    Limited No Trade... Edmonton apparently is on his list of teams that he would accept a trade to.

    I agree 100% on vanek but when i say he gets paid too much it more to do with our cap issue. thanks for correctly me on Miller, you are right. I just wonder who the real Miller is sometimes. he is the miller from the Olympics or from the last 2 season. does he just need a change and can he handle the flyer media?

    gotta be honest, i'm sick of FA's.

    slow down....build thru the draft....and build a sustainable minor league system. this sign fa/trade players every summer just isn't working.

    how many players have they drafted, brought up...and flipped for younger prospects over the last 10 years?

    might be time to trade homer and bring back bobby.....and i hated bobby as the gm.
