5.5 per year.

Holmgren is one of the biggest fools in the game. 5.5 million for a PMD that sucks on D and is going to be 40 at the end of the contract?


You want to know why the game is having a strike every eight years ... it's moves like this and what Dallas gave Gonchar and Edmonton gave Hemsky two years ago and well, 6 million for Timonen.

The Flyers now have 11.25 Mil in cap space tied up by 2 defensemen with a combined age of 73.

Add in Prongers hit and age please.

Vancouver DOESN'T have the goods to acquire Letang.

Good lord!

The Flyers are a joke. Well Holmgren and Clarke

Edler Gaunce and a pick will do just fine

They've been brought up.

Couture and Vlasic. That's my wish list.
- canadianpenfan

Isn't it asking too much? Couture would be awesome with Sid though. His winger for the long run.

$5M for Gonchar, $5.5 for Streit...you think Letang's gonna take a discount at $6-6.5?

Wow....I saw that happening. I actually said they would sign him 3-4 years for $5.5M on their board a couple days ago. ....everyone expected this to happen, obviously.

Thanks.

$16.2 just doesn't go as far as it used to. In this case it gets you two slow defenseman who's best days are behind them.

Pronger is an unfortunate situation though. I do feel bad for him.

I would have fired Holmgren after the Pronger deal. He clearly thought he was signing the guy to a below 35 contract when it was signed

After that I didn't think he would sign anyone to an over 35 ever again. I guess I was wrong.

18.2 mil for 2 perennial Hart contenders in their 20s sounds pretty good right now

Its good to see we're not going to have to worry about the flyers being a legit threat for a while.

If they land Luongo after a possible buyout I think that puts them right back into the fold.

Do you honestly think Vancouver would entertain the notion for that? Nope. That seems to be too much for Letang.

But the defenders they paid all that money too can't play defense.......

If you aren't taking the twins you are crazy. Two of the elite players in the nhl.

Lu has gotten closer than the majority if not all the free agent goalies and is easily a notch above most in accomplisments.... typical eastern bias shows very little about him. Last I checked the Flyers can score... they're already ahead of the 2011 Canucks
