What happened to not getting sucked in? And you completely missed the point. It was about how the Flyers should operate moving forward, not about how they operated in the past. And I clearly stated not giving up the future. So I'm baffled by how you got this from what I stated.

I'm not sucked in; just wanted to see if you actually had the intestinal fortitude to name a specific team that "wins smartly" -- instead of tapdancing with extra vigor

That $737K cap hit of his was a real cap killer for a 6th/7th D.
- bmeltzer


The cap hit not so much, when he was playing NHL games and couldn't compete on any level the extra year looked kinda of clownish.

I love that you put the Frenchman with a French Canadian. I don't know why but I like it.

Point is dont expect any drastic changes minus a Vinny trade.....should be same roster with maybe a depth player or two.

How about David Booth for real cheap? Skilled, fast, left winger.. never been the same since the Richards hit but maybe he could revitalize his career in the same place where it basically ended.

- AllInForFlyers


Again, this tells me that you missed the point. I stated trying to win smartly. That means don't sell the future in an all out attempt to win now, and make sure the moves you do make, are the right fit for the team. I spelled this all out clearly in my post. But obviously, just want to focus on vitriol instead of on what was actually said.

That roster can't happen unless the Flyers want to screw themselves cap wise.

Before the hip injury, he was fine as a 7th defenseman. He had the injury, and then the lockout, and he lost what mobility he had. And then the Flyers simply assigned him to the AHL, with no effects to the cap. So this is really much about nothing. And a mountain out of a molehill.

I was close, but I was wrong on Bolland, thought he'd get around 7 years/$63M.
