Well they already extended him so thats not an option.

So do you think Read and 2nd rd pick gets a trade done for Bernier?

Leaving: Bryz, Briere, Read, pick(s)

Coming: Bernier, free agent winger, free agent defenseman

A winning recipe, to say the least.

Yes, until you look and see how shallow the UFA defense market is.

I was being sarcastic, Friend

I know you love bryz but when we move him (probably) with buyout) I haVe confidence you will be on board with the moves homer makes.

I likely will be onboard with Holmgren's moves. Your moves are a different story. Freeing up cap room only makes sense when there's good targets to use the money on.

I hope his moves pan out much better than this past summer.

Bryz can be replaced(and rid of contract as a bonus) briere is completely useless on this current team. Read is a nice compliment player but expendable and some picks can be moved for the right pieces due to fact we are so young and talented
Coming: Bernier, free agent winger, free agent defenseman

I'd be content with minimal changes. My lone definite would be in finding a way to trade/buy out Briere, if only to get more time for Couturier & Schenn

I offer my forgiveness, Comrade

EDIT: Just read your "minimum change" mantra....I'm on board and have been. Make room.

I agree.

Chances Cousins & Laughton make the team next year?

I have confidence homer has targets. Whether it's through fa or trade. There's a reason all these gm and scouts are watching our team. I'm sure homer can pull a trade or 2 off. Just pray it's not picks or youth for older players to " make a run at cup this year" pretty sure homers not that stupid but it is Philly so you never know

Will find out in a couple of weeks what direction this team goes.

Agreed. This isn't PS3, after all. We have a solid group of guys and are, in my opinion, not far off from being a major threat. The kids keep getting better, and Bryz has been money. If Mez can stay healthy and we add another #5 dman....this team could go somewhere in a few season if not sooner.

I agree.

- stveshdy

Laughton will be unless major setback. Cousin probably a few years off. Stolarz is major wild card. Every says he's like 5 Years off but if can make it 3 to 4 even more reason to buy out bryz. For cap room mainly. God I hate this cap. Such bs

- Giroux_Is_God

The biggest issue is going to be whether this team can play well at both ends of the ice. Defensively they are too sloppy to be a serious contender.

I agree.

- stveshdy

I doubt Cousins, but Laughton is a good bet, IMO

So more "buyout Bryz for an unproven goalie" talk. I miss the bob Ryab Fist says

Ooh I know I know how about Danny Briere and coots for Chara?!

"if" I love this word. We always have "if" if our goaltending... "if" our defense... We can't have"if" at these positions. We have had ."if" for the last 35years at goal and defense. You do NOT win cup with "if"

If he's looking a trades right now, it's to enhance his chances of winning now.

Buying out Bryz and Briere this summer to have cap room for a weak UFA crop on defense is dumb.
