Watching CSN8 and I'm thinking Homer is going to make an appearance on Bra Buying Secrets.

He should do the press conference in the unmentionables section of bloomingdales. Just to lighten the mood.

a Panther fan on Lou coming to Philly.."oh sweet Jesus, thank you"
- vejim

If Lu is bought out first, he's a good pick-up, in my humble opinion.

The guy can still play.

It's just his contract that sucks.

They were going to have to pay even more if they didn't use the buyout. So they actually saved money...kinda.

To Bryz:

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are GONE
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I Flyers too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say


Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
But surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are Gone
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

That's some really, really bad math.

Flyers are going to continue to spend right up to cap limit.

Well, you may be right
I may be crazy
Hey!
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
Well you may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Is he an aging star, with his best years behind him, who can be framed as a "savior"?

If so, he's the perfect fit.

He;s only 34, so I doubt there's much interest in Luongo.

- Atomic Wedgie


The math is sound - they are paying Bryz 2/3 of his remaining contract value. It's the fact that he's being paid for doing nothing that's the problem.

No doubt, Flyers are a cap-limit team. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that if done smartly.

I'm hoping they realize there's a lesson to be learned here.

Think it will go something like this....."How do you know for a fact Homer had said conversation with Bryz this morning? What are the facts that you can prove that support Bryz being bought out? Blah Blah...."
