Sean Couturier for Bernier.. the CAP dollars would work. Leaves Philly with Giroux and Schenn for their 1 & 2 center spots.


Flyers go with Bernier and Mason.

erm... Philly is buying out Briere and Bryz. Only get 2.

also. what?
- Big_Lightnin

Maybe Philly tells Vancouver to buy Luongo out and gives Vancouver 50%-100% of the buyout funds. That way Philly pays the money and Vancouver uses the buyout.

Would this be legal?

You gotta give to get...
- Flyfreaky

Your GM will give up more. He can't help himself.

An arrangement not by trade? What the heck does that mean? My head just exploded.
- phillydiehard

Maybe Bobby Lou gets bought out and signs as a free agent?

oh god, you didn't think that was serious did you?

in what world is anything Ek just suggested more logical than.. anything?


- joel878

It's all good. Hope the deal with Lou happens

I think I have an idea, hear me out.

Flyers told the Canucks they want Luongo, but not the contract. Flyers tell Gillis, if the Canucks buy out Luongo, the Flyers will reimburse the Canucks 50% (or some other $$$) for doing so and will give the Canucks a draft pick +. Canucks discussed with Luongo and he has agreed to waive no trade clause on condition he is getting bought out and will sign with the Flyers.

Do I get a gold star??
- CanuckforLife

Sorry, let me clear this up, I may have not got my point right. Luongo does not have to waive his no trade clause to get bought out. Lets say Gillis says to Luongo that Philly wants you, but not the contract. They have agreed to cover 50% of the cost to buy you out with the Canucks covering the other 50%. Gillis then tells Luo, for this to happen you have to agree to sign with Philly and only Philly once you have been bought out. Perhaps the Canucks get 2 second round picks and assistance buying Luongo out, Philly gets Luongo who they sign to a REASONABLE 2-3 year deal.

Makes sense to me....maybe only to me lol.
- CanuckforLife

not sure how a team "assisting in buying out Luongo" isn't a massive violation of the CBA...

They can't just give them money (legally) and the salary retention trade stuff doesn't apply to buyouts

Giving cash for players? Isn't that kind of Cap Circumvention craziness?

If you're asking about the "twins" that's what we call getz and perry here. Regarding ryan wants to anchor his own line, the season before the lockout he told the coaching staff he didn't want to play under the twin's shadow. We basically haven't found linemates for him since.
- selanne4pres

Don't you think it could be possible to bring Stastny to Anaheim? He'd look good with Ryan and another tough winger.

It better not be by trade! I want no part of another terrible contract. As a free agent sure. 3 years 12 million sounds about right to me
- FlyerAdam30

you'd be paying more for a 3rd pairing dman (Streit) than the starting goalie...sure!!

Can you say "collusion"?
How about "CBA circumvention"?

Not legal.

Go ahead and do it though. I wouldn't mind the penalties that would come down on both Vancouver and Philly.

Anahiem doesn't have the $$ for Getz Perry, Ryan AND Stastny...

they might have to move Ryan for budget reasons...

Not gonna happen under Bettman's watch...

Briere
Hartnell
Mez/Grossman


For

LUUU
Edler
Kassian/raymond

Maybe the flyers would be interested in a package of ryan and hiller?
- selanne4pres

All this Loungo talk makes me want pizza and to throttle my neighbor's cat to hockey God's

Maybe Bobby Lou gets bought out and signs as a free agent?
- Sam67

Then a three way trade lou to toronto..bernier to LA..carter to philly??

Anahiem doesn't have the $$ for Getz Perry, Ryan AND Stastny...

Stastny has 1 year left on his contract....he could be signed to a reasonable price after his current deal expires ($4 to 5M per).
