Ah yes, those were the days.
I will almost miss taking a shot everytime there was a 2 on 1 rush.
2 shots if Bryz let it go in...

Damn girl, I'm surprised you ever made to the 2nd period!

I'd hesitate, but wind up saying yes.

Laughton would be second line center?

With Scottie Upshall and Ville Leino being bought out soon. Do you want either on the team for cheap
- Winning


I don't know about Uppy, because I think he's been hurt more often than not the past.....well.....I don't think Upshall has ever played 82 games.

But Leino at the right price? Why not?

You dont have to do research when the White House tells you want to write... God forbid you have your own sources, then you will be spied on and put on trial.

This explains why you and I get along so well Jsaq. Of course I don't have kids and the fiancee enjoys hockey too. But the drinking beer and screaming at the TV part I'm all over...

i think you'd find 99% of the people in here like doing this as well.

I'd give Leino another shot for sure. I wouldn't have signed him to what buffalo gave him, but i def liked him.

I would have thrown my phone out the window if Homer thought that would have gotten Weber. JVR, while i like the kid, really hasn't been all that. Mezzy is just blah.

I dunno about you guys... but I can't stand Coots... i grew sour on him.

They will trade for Ilya Bryzgalov after he's signed for cheap by another team.

Not really what were looking for. We need good two-way forwards. I would want a strong defensive center who is good on face-offs. Giroux is forced to take too many defensive zone face-offs.
- PhillySportsGuy


Could resign Adam Hall. Or perhaps check in with Dominic Moore, don't know even if he will return to play hockey. But solid FO guy (54.3% over the last 4 years playing) and good PK and can chip in 7-10 goals a year. Would definitely take the load off Giroux on the PK and tough defensive zone draws.

So riddle me this:

You are a professional high profile athlete who is just bought out and you don’t want to discuss the change in your life. Do you:

A) Turn your phone off and go for a swim in your pool, begin quietly planning your new future, pick out your new lamborghini
B) Pick up your phone for an unknown caller
C) Check the caller id and recognize that this media buffoon has your personal # and is calling, and don’t answer
D) Know that a media buffoon is calling and pick it up to tell them you don’t want to talk about it. Pick it up a second time and hang up on them.

Wow… Seriously?

- Flyersgod

FORWARDS
Scott Hartnell ($4.750m) / Claude Giroux ($3.750m) / Jakub Voracek ($4.250m)
Tye McGinn ($0.775m) / Danny Briere ($6.500m) / Wayne Simmonds ($3.975m)
Jay Rosehill ($0.675m) / Maxime Talbot ($1.750m) / Matt Read ($0.900m)
Zac Rinaldo ($0.750m) / Scott Laughton ($1.107m) / Jason Akeson ($0.900m)
DEFENSEMEN
Kimmo Timonen ($6.000m) / Shea Weber ($7.857m)
Andrej Meszaros ($4.000m) / Braydon Coburn ($4.500m)
Nicklas Grossmann ($3.500m) / Luke Schenn ($3.600m)
Marc-Andre Bourdon ($0.613m) / Bruno Gervais ($0.825m)
GOALTENDERS
Ilya Bryzgalov ($5.667m)
Steve Mason ($1.500m)

That'd be fun to watch, can fill offensive holes without assets you'd of given away for Weber. Great player but unless he can keep the opposition to a goal or two a game you're going to have a pretty rough season.



EDIT: Forgot to mention they'd be 3 mil over the cap too

Because the only player Leino ever had chemistry with we just bought out.

I agree that they need to be better winning draws, but I'm also not going to pretend that Adam Hall or David Steckel are going to be guys that I'd want out on the ice in the last minute of a game, against the opposition's top line.

There's a reason why guys like Hall/Steckel/Konopka are in and out of the lineup/on waivers... they're barely replacement-level NHL players.
