Gagne tells me Holmgren due to talk to him late today. There is interest in re-sign here on both ends

this would make me very very happy
GID plz. Gagne is my favorite flyer of all time

With free agency, unless we resign Gagne, yes. Expect some trades still.

It's funny. I want to give Lou Lamoriello credit for walking away from that deal, but you can't give him a pass because he signed a worse player in Ryane Clowe to a five-year deal.

Ryane Clowe's rate of decline is like that of all power forwards: Swift. It will happen to Scott Hartnell one day, and I acknowledge that freely. It will look just as bad.

The difference is that the Flyers signed Scott Hartnell after a 37-goal, All-Star season. The Devils signed Clowe -- albeit in a shortened season -- after a three-goal season.

That's just unbelievable to me. The decline was obvious. I don't even know how you tell yourself, if you're the Devils, that the rate of decline hasn't accelerated on Ryane Clowe.

So if Clarkson get's close to 6M a year, how does that make Giroux's 8.25 deal look? Had that discussion this morning.
- MJL


Well, I call Clarkson's deal crazy in light of Giroux's, which I think is reasonable. But if one goes under the premise that Clarkson's deal is fair, then Giroux got screwed royally.

Also, Emery for 1.65M could be a steal. If he plays to the same level as he did this past Season in Chicago. But there will be a different team in front of him, obviously.

Aaaaand how do you know there will be a player like that in the draft?
- Giroux_Is_God


Because Connor Mcdavid is a real person already. That will be eligible in the 2015 draft.

Gagne and the removal of Meszaros are the only moves I want.

With the term and money being given out today homer should be arrested right now! He is robbing people blind. Outside of dmen we have many great team friendly contracts right now. This team is going to be deadly in a couple years.

I say:

1. Sign Emery

2. Sign Gagne (if possible)

3. ONLY trade Coburn if they can get an upgrade.

4. Be done.

Basically the Flyers beat guys sit on Twitter, wait for Bob M, or Dreger to report something, instead of retweeting them, they post the same info 30 seconds later like they are breaking the news.

They are embarrassing themselves.

Wow it's just sinking in that Emery lost 1 game last year out of 18 that he started. I know it was Chicago but we just got that guy for $1.65 mil... just, wow...

I'd be all for trading Braydon Coburn for a good chance at that, and you just know Calgary would overpay and give you that, too.
