Good answer. Id take either, though I lean toward Jagr just because he slows things down so much along the boards and creates time/space. Whoever is cheaper

Jagr and Vinnie

other guys could take a coffee break before the puck gets to the blue line

I would weep in celebration

Yeah, Jagr is a puck control machine. Plus he's a great role model for young and old alike.

Sounds bunk to me too....only reason why I am giving any credence is because whoever this Rich Smith guy is, he seems to have good sources especially when it comes to the flyers....he has called some moves before anyone else
- nonpoint22

honestly I don't know the guy. What else did he call that ended up happening? I'm curious.

St Louis will match and thank Homer for working out the details of the deal for them

I like him a lot. He's a very good player to have with Crosby and Malkin. I have a feeling he will cost more than people think.
- PhillySportsGuy

i like him. he is still very young. still needs to develop an offensive game, but his defensive game is very very solid. if he can be locked up, i think he is a perfect number 3 to have long term. unfortunately, as his offensive stats increase, so will his pay scale. if he goes out and somehow puts up 30 goals 30 assists, then he will probably price himself out though. i see more of a 20 goal 25 assist type season playing solid defense. hopefully he can be retained.

Expect Emery to sign with Flyers. Expect a 1 yr deal. Strategic move to establish starter role and bigger $$ down the road.
Details

what is the max we can offer sheet

Dreger reporting that razor is back. If true that's a solid move. Way to go Homer!

Flyers made their choice. Ray Emery will be back. #RDS

Just wanted to say, in case it hasn't been said, it's always a pleasure having you in here to talk hockey with.
- Flyers1218

yeah, for the different fan base thing, everyone has always been very welcoming and you have been no exception. appreciate the kind words and the discussion as well

That would be amazing
- PhillySportsGuy

id be ecstatic if he could be signed for 1 year

Jagr or Gagne, pick
- aosplayo

Gagne. Jagr wants guaranteed top line minutes + will cost more.

Mark Streit better be ranked higher than a 82 in NHL 14

One year deal works for me!

if he can stay healthy, thats a good, cost effective move. if injuries crop up, its not like you guys gave up assets or a large deal. and emery looked pretty good last year.

i was personally hoping you guys got connived into being stuck with thomas

id be ecstatic if he could be signed for 1 year
- Crimsoninja

sounds like that's the plan, which differs from leed's tweet. kind of.

what is the max we can offer sheet
- mydoglicks

12.86 cap hit, or 20% of the cap is the max salary allowed under the CBA.

It *is* a nice phone...

- the deaninator

Well first of this is my first year following him so I don't you to get the idea I have been following him for years.....he called Vinny to us before anyone, this morning he called Alfie to wings hours before it hit the circuit, if Scuderi goes back to Pitt he would be the first to call that.....he actually seems to have his stuff together. If the flyers totally pull a rabbit out of their hat and get E Kane or Ryan then I will follow him forever.....we will see, my true first impression of him will be established after today, but he is off to a good start

No shocker that DLEED had no idea what he was talking about. Dreger reporting a 1 year deal with Emery

numbers like 20G 45P while playing against other teams top lines and without much PP time is worthy of quite a bit. Flyers are in the same position with Matt Read except Read is ufa next season
