I don't see it that way...

Ebs has produced at a better rate than Seguin...he helps complete the Top 6, what with Gagner as Top 6 center.

GAgner to the wing was used before, not to the highest success rate.

Ebs is a higher cap hit, and my understanding is that moving Seguin is a financial move.

That and he (Seguin) is a party boy with hip issues and when compared to Eberle is a baby whom has yet to spread his wings..

We're not spending a ton on a goalie.

Overspending on goaltending is retarded. They will get under just fine and the goaltending will be fine.

- mochoson


I agreed they will get under.

As for how much they will spend on a goalie...I am guessing 3-4M.

I also think that they will have 2M or less in cap space to start the season. So yeah, they will be under, but they will be close, closer than what Phi fans blindly believe.

Really?

As of right this moment the Flyers are close to 1/2 M OVER cap. LTIR Pronger and they get to about 4.5M under.

Still need a #1 goalie. TT will eat 3-4M of that, minimum. Any guy they bring in will eat most of that 4.5.

Having only 1-2M in cap space is NOT what many would call "in good shape"

- OilHorse


Really! One thing that many don't understand, is that Capgeek guesstimates who will be on the roster. It is not entirely accurate. The Flyers are going to move one of their defenseman. Most likely Meszaros. That will create Cap needed.

And placing a player on LTIR, does not get any team under. By it's very definition, using LTIR means you are over the Upper LImit.

A few things:

The Flyers need Pronger on LITR just to get under the cap.

Timonen is still a part of the team this year. Next year means nothing as of right now.

You are in an Oiler thread. Don't like what you read don't come in.

- OilHorse


You're incorrect Oilhorse. The Flyers are going to move a defenseman. They then can add a Goalie, all without placing Pronger on LTIR.

2M under the Cap? That's a ton for a Cap team like the Flyers. Do you know what you can do with 2M of Cap space banked all Season at the trade deadline?

Using the Calculator, you decide who is on the roster.
You can trde 'em, buy them out, demote them.
Its an amazing little toy.

Only from him. The usual "I'm gonna work hard all summer to make it", which is great, but it really shouldnt happen. Unless he gets his 9 games due to injuries on our defense.

You'd tell us if it was actually YOU who wanted Smid gone and not MacT right?

Integrity ~ telling the truth
Neutral ~ Making it up out of thin air
No integrity ~ Pretending your own opinions are actually MacT's opinions.

Please let it be in the first two categories.

If you do that, you move Seguin to centre, his natural position. Then you maybe consider moving Gagner for a Dman or RW with size and grit.

Eberle for Seguin
Gagner + a pick/prospect for a Stewart/Voracek/Simmonds/Bruower or sign Ryder or Mueller to play right side.

Yep, then the people who are saying that the Flyers are over the Cap should use it. Then they'll know that the Flyers have plenty of Cap flexibility with one simple move. Which I can easily show using the Cap calculator.
