On a side note, Gagne would be a solid bring-back player for next year at the right price. He's shown he's still got the legs and can still play an excellent two-way game.

For sure, Since back in Philly he's starting to look more like his old self. Heck they brought him back for 3rd line duties and he's already playing with G & Voracek on the top line. At this point I think 2- 2.5 would be a steal bringing him back.

We need these guys in the lineup so that they piss off the opposition enough to take cheap shots at our stars.

This certainly answers the question, "Why do the Flyers have so many injuries this season?"

homer can't help himself...at least the cost is low.

hey everyone;

who do you think will be bought out throughout the NHL this offseason?

I would think ballard and booth in Vancouver...

any other potentials out there?

I was just wondering the same thing. We've kinda discussed not many D may get bought out but forwards?

i think Leino might be bought out.

ok we won 2 games lets start losing again and get a better player

i think Leino might be bought out.

Wouldn't shock me. Just hasn't lived up to the money. SO glad the Flyers didn't re-sign him to that price

Yeah, that contract was ridiculous.

Maybe Garrison in Vancouver? Hasn't been bad, but hasn't continued with last year's #s. He and Boyle are the 2 that seem to make the most sense.
Maybe Hamhuis too.

Will Elias and Brodeur ever retire?

I'm sick and tired of watching these guys.

funny thing is even at that age they'll find a way to piss us off

from what i remember, the Flyers had offered him 3 mil...would not have been a bad cap hit, but knowing what we know now, obviusly was a good deal...

Vancouver is absolutely screwed next year man...they have waaaaaaaaaaay to much money tied up with only a a dozen players.

For Elias just beer.

Like the article says, it most likely will come down to money and Gagne's willingness to accept making less of it.

Hamhuis and Garrison aren't going to be bought out.
Ballard maybe.
Booth is (always) hurt.

Can't help himself from what? Both are good signings.

I am for bringing him back but you just know if they do, he will almost certainly get hurt again.

Filling the roster spots, it's his job as GM.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but these wins are hurting our draft position. I would love to see a blog from Bill listing the most likely amnesty buyout players on each team and the impact to the UFA market. It would seem to hold UFA prices down since the market has more players.

Wait Rinaldo at 750k and Rosehill at 675k?
Leave it to Panotch to (frank) things up.

Still good deals for both

no reason to give rosebud 2yrs. he should have to prove his worth every yr.

Obvious his goal a game pace after the Leafs game sealed the deal

Agree with this. Rosehill has little leverage so why give him two years? I'd prefer they give a new kid a chance each year for that spot.
