The Giroux contract is gonna bite them in the ass
- JoeRussomanno


I disagree. Certainly, I would have loved a lower price, but that's wwhat happens when you can't add cheap years at the end of the deal.

Given some of the trade rumors, and the size of contracts handed out, I'm very pleased with what the Flyers did today.

The solidified the goaltending position for a very low cost, and added a capable AHL starter/emergency guy, didn't dump a poopload of cash into damaged goods(Horton), overpay for an underachiever(Clowe) or go nuts for a solid guy that is regarded more highly than his level of play(Clarkson).

I do wonder if there is another move out there, but all in all a solid day.

- Jsaquella


There has to be another move out there. They have 14 forwards before you count laughton, straka, raffl, mcginn.... etc. They have 1 to 2 too many d-men making over 3.5 million. And I think there is a reason Gagne hasn't signed with us or anyone else. I think a big move to come.

Not sure about the Domino's by you GGunkster, but the "Italian" guys that work at the ones by where I live have funny accents.

Perfect summary. I was expecting the worst today, but am pleasantly surprised that it turned into a nice, quiet day for the Flyers. We all know there is still a trade to be made, but so far, so good.

I'm interested to see what happens next. It'd be nice if they can manage to keep Gagne

Lou either has Alzheimer's setting in or he's up to his cup champion building ways again. I've learned my lesson not to laugh at them until it really implodes.

It's like Pizza. I hear people say that Pizza sucked. I can't comprehend that. Some is definitely better then others. But I've never had Pizza that sucked.

Hmmmm.... Devils couldn't make payroll a few weeks ago.

I find it interesting they have been able to swap out Hedberg's 1.4, for Schneiders 4m, sign Elias, Clowe and Ryder.

They are in financial ruins.
