Trade Coburn, do a Lee Majors on Meszaros(i.e. we can rebuild him), BOB RYAB FIST, Should have never traded Sharp.

Then drive to St. Louis and complain to Hitchcock for not seeing his potential.

being a dad is the best feeling - is this your first? boy or girl?

I'm okay with the Flyers dealing Read for Bernier straight up, but any other assets to the Kings I really think is over payment. The longer the bidding process continues for Bernier, the more likely the price comes down in my opinion. There is just no way Lombardi can let this process get into the free agency period, I just don't believe he is that dumb.

Homer always overpays so expect Read and a 2nd. I am sure Homer doesnt want to move any 2014 picks since the draft is in Philly and he already lost a 4th.

Agreed.... Although I'll add its a better feeling once your newborn sleeps through the night Lol.

Congrats skip!!

How do you know that Read and a 2nd would be overpayment for Bernier?

Especially since Read was an undrafted free agent. Homer aint too bad at finding assets for nothing, let me tell you.

Based on what exactly? His numbers are solid at all levels and have trended better each season. He was a 1st round draft pick for a reason. LA fans seem to love the guy and if it wasn't for Lombardi bernier would've been the starting LA goalie 2 seasons ago when everyone was clamoring to bench quick. Watching him play its evident he has talent. His only real knock is his height.

I have a 10 year old son from marriage to my late first wife. This one (also a son) is my wife's first. You're absolutely right: it's totally incredible to me.

Crazy day at the hospital yesterday with tests, feeding, diaper changing, and all the accoutrements that accompany having a newborn. So...

Recap of yesterday's blog thread, please.

Bryz was great in Phoenix

Agreed.... Although I'll add its a better feeling once your newborn sleeps through the night Lol.

Congrats skip!!

Heh. No lie. The little guy sleeps for long stretches so far during the night. Early bloomer?

Thanks, moylander!

Interesting - so by that logic who would be good in Philly?

Huh. Thanks, I'll check that out.

- MJL

We don't know, but it's more than I want to pay for him. Read should be enough on his own, and if another team is offering LA more than Read then let them get Bernier.

Congrats, pal!

Thank you, kind sir.

Yup! All are doing well. M4 was here Tuesday night and joined in the revelry with the grandparents. Mom & baby (J1, per ob18) are doing great. Hopefully we go home tomorrow.

Yes, Schenns CAP HIT is over 3, but his actual salary is quite lower. The Flyers will give him an increase on his actual salary but it will not be above his current cap hit, which he never came close to making so far in his career.
- MBFlyerfan

If he performs this year as he should then I would expect his next deal to be in the same range given his projected ability. Look at G's current deal. I get its a big "if". But Schenn was projected higher than G.

What problem? Sounds like you just suggested that bernier is similar to bryz. I don't see the comparison. What specifically about bernier would make him a backup goalie in your opinion.
