Well honestly the cap and buyout saved by bryz is hugh for philly gives them room to get pronger off books if he returns. Also luke schen does as much as shultz only real difference is simmonds more physical them hemsky but less talented and brayden schenn is an upgrade or belanger but not on faceoffs

Edmonton takes on over 17 mil in salary here something philly has none of. Also briere us a buyout candatate. Philly gets 4 mil cap space and all contracts set to expire after next year. I dont see how they can fit in resign of guys next year like giroux read timonen etc

Why do you assume you got the first one right?

Although now you got 2 of 3.

I agree Horc is not worth the money and will accept you saying hes terrible locker room karma as truth as i dont know otherwise. But the oil were 5-3-1 with him. Did nothing in the next 17. And won the game he came bak in. Your over-hating him. Not saying its not deserved tho

Heres some food for thought haha Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports that Chicago Blackhawks could use the amnesty buyout on forward Marian Hossa, despite having a contract that expires after the 2020-21 season.

According to Brooks, Hossa, who signed a back diving contract, could cost the club between $4.6M to $9.2M per year against the salary cap should he retire before 42, when his contract expires. Serves them right for signing him to that. What makes things funnier is the rangers have more contracts like this.

Package those three for.... Bryz/both Schenns. Clearly PHI needs the cap space.

I was hoping Belanger wasn't one as he's looked better. I don't even know if Belanger is much an issue with negative attitude as he has always been a loner.

I couldn't agree more, RC... It's mind-boggling. Oiler fans really are a stupid bunch.

Horcs puuled the team together and we got a much needed Win to finish the trip. The boys played well overall and Hall was a beast, we just need to string a few wins together and we`re back in the show. LETS GO OILERS!

Yeah, because we don't have a history of playing well against the Hawks...

I'm betting they dont buy him out. Its obvious they dont have anyone to step into the captain role yet, and it would send the wrong message to the team. Im not ashamed to admit it, I like Horcs.

Montador is going on waivers today. Should Oil claim him? I like him, but he's just coming back now from a concussion suffered last year.

It's not even the captaincy. We don't have too many guys that are willing to play 100% every night, that are good in their own end and are willing to change their role for the better of the team.

It will be tough to fit Horcoff in here during the 14-15 season, but at 3mil in real dollars I'm sure the Isles could use him and his 5.5mil cap hit to get to the floor.

Not worth it. 2.75mil for two more years isn't ideal.
