Why do you guys get so defensive? Im just stating the obvious. Trying to have a conversation here. You guys just assume that because Im with another team Im just here to troll.

Because this has been discussed and evenly written about at length by Bill. You're uninformed and you are trying to stir it up. You aren't "trying to have a conversation". We aren't dumb. Hence why you've been told to go worry about your team.

Lundqvist is fantastic. And the Rangers D core is solid. A fresh voice will help. I would think the team started to tune Tortorella out.

Oh Im sure they got sick of Tort's which is why after the Boston loss, Sather was saying hes safe... Monday was the team meeting... Tuesday Tort's was fired.

The signing of VL4 put you guys right at the cap.

And what are you guys going to do next year? Giroux just got a 5 mil raise... with Couturier and Schenn both RFAs. You guys are TIGHT on what you can do.

Class was in session on Wednesday while you may have been picking up a 5th on the 3rd for the 4th:

My only worry is that Emery plays better than Mason and Mason regresses mentally like he did in Columbus when Bob outplayed him.

Even people freaking out about the Pens cap need to shut up. So much can happen at the drop of a hat.

- jak521

exactly. im not saying there wont be some casualties. look at scuderi the first cup go round. it does happen. but teams waiting for guys like malkin or giroux to be forced elsewhere due to the cap are ridiculous.

Its too positive in here.

Mason goes back to being the headcase he was in Columbus, and Emery's hip blows apart in the shootout.

That isn't any more far fetched than expecting a combined .915-.920 save %.

Joking aside, the scenario you bring up could easily happen.

The good thing is if it does happen the Flyers simply let both guys go.

Wrong on the salary cap.
Bill did a great article explaining how the Flyers are not in bad shape next year or even this year.
A combo of things including the cap going up, Pronger LTIR, Mez or Coburn moving, Timonnen retiring.

You guys dont need to get all crazy about it... a simple... "with Mez gone we should have enough space to work it".

The organization probably will have to use his old pair. Snider wont be moving down to 2-ply poop paper, so the cost cuts have to be made somewhere.

Or you will see his old pads appear on a special episode of Storage Wars.
