"I had an interesting chat with an old buddy between periods who is the head of pro scouting for a top Eastern Division team. He thinks that the Flyers wil buy out Bryz and bring in Roberto Luongo next year. That would certainly cost plenty of Comcast dollars but that's ok, they'll just raise you cable bill a little more."

Bobby Lou is one of my favourites but that's not how I was hoping to acquire him if it happened.

Going from one 30 something goalie with long ass contract who's overpaid to another is definitely the way to go

Only if Luongo gets bought out too...

And I'm not the only one that thinks Comcast would raise cable bills to compensate for Flyers expenses/losses...

Really? Flyers are playing much better this period.

I'll have to respectfully disagree, maybe a tad better, but the Sen have been constantly in the offensive zone the entire game.

Next up undrafted Barrie Colts goalie Mathias Niederberger

Any interest in Eric Hartzell? He's looked really good. of course his team plays Defense first all the time.

So they'll bring in a guy who's older with a longer contract? That makes sense...

If Luongo is bought out, great. But if they have to trade assets....

That's what I was thinking. I'm not trading anything or taking on that salary if I don't have to.

The frozen 4 are comin to Philly?? Finally a hockey team will win a championship in Philadelphia!

Yes. He looked good in the rookie camp last summer. So did Marcoux for that matter

If Holmgren actually did that, it's proof he has permanent brain damage.

If Luongo does get bought out, it will be an interesting UFA class with Backstrom and Emery. For the term and potential salary, I prefer Emery out of those options.

You can watch him right now in the frozen four on ESPN during breaks. He looked great in the tournament so far after a bit of a shaky start.

If Luongo gets bought out, he might be willing to sign for fewer years, since he'll still be getting paid by the Canucks.

Maybe he'll take 4 years, $22mm or something

Don't know much about him but I've suggested they also sign Oshawa D Matt PetGrave.

The Flyers are doing wonders for my insomnia

Flipped on the Pens/Tampa game for just a few seconds; 1st thing I hear is Maguire saying something bout Crosby. The man is in love!!

I think that plus the buyout would be okay for him. What's that 8+ in pocket for 4 years?

Vancouver probably will trade him. They had offers but nothing they liked. Tells me that if they wanted to buy him out they could of just dealt him and got whatever they could at the deadline.

Sure since he and Coots are 2 of what sounds like will be part of a really large new ownership group for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)

I didn't see much of him (one game I think) until the tournament but he's posted huge numbers and has looked solid. He's a little hard to evaluate when his teams only giving up 4-7 shots a period.
