Well then what was your point about Nashville leaking that they will match about? - MJL
They will leak that the board has authorized Poile to match. They will also give him the authority to do a deal if he thinks it is better for the team. I think they want to do a deal. I have thought that even before the offer sheet. I believe they end up doing something close to what was on the table last week (maybe Schenn, Schenn and only one #1.)
yea it went like this
Polie: Well guess you were not joking around with the offer sheet
Homer: Yup I know, How do my nuts taste
Polie: (frank) ME - bigmookalookie

Again, the Flyers won't buy it. Your a guy on the internet who thinks that will happen, and they will try that tactic. Think the Flyers aren't prepared for that play? C'mon now!

It is not really a tactic. It is standard operating procedure for this kind of negotiation. If they can't match they won't bluff, they will just ry and do the best deal they can. But, if they can match (because they have the money) they put negotiations on an equal footing. I think they are very close to knowing what the deal is and they are just managing it into place. Flyer fans will be a little upset for a day because they thought they gave up too much.. Nashville fans will be upset because they lost their two best players in a two week period.
wutup, who really knows, i just cannot imagine homer throwing the offer sheet with all the side implications without being pretty confident in the outcome
