1-year $1M... even if he sucks donkey pelotas (which he probably will), that's still a pretty good value buy.

Flyers are good salary cap wise so they must have just not wanted him (sarcasm)

I took the numbers of how the players were acquired directly from the NHL.com website.


In looking at LA acquiring Carter and Richards. They traded B Schenn and Wayne Simmonds for Richards. Both players were drafted by LA. Traded Jack Johnson, drafted by LA, for Carter.

- MJL


A slight clarification: Jack Johnson was actually drafted by Carolina. He was acquired by LA for Tim Gleason, maybe with a pick, because he pissed Jim Rutherford off by not coming out of college when Rutherford thougt he should

Not Wayne Simmonds.... Homer's best contract

Its funny, most of our forwards are signed to discount or at value deals (until we got umbergeler) and our defense is the exact opposite. Imagine if we had just one or two home grown dmen.. But such is the NHL...

I would have taken a run at Heatley. I think there is some juice left to squeeze out of him. A Heatley-Getzlaf-Perry line could be dangerous.

Only if Heatley's driving.

Gail Stanwyk: John who?
Fletch: John Cock... tos... ton.
Gail Stanwyk: That's a beautiful name.
Fletch: Well, it's Scotch/Romanian.
Gail Stanwyk: That's an odd combination.
Fletch: Yeah, well, so were my parents.

Fletch is one of the funniest movies of all time.

"What kind of name is Poon, anyway?"
"Uhhhh Comanche Indian"

One of my favorite parts is when he talks about Frita

-I'm Frita's boss
-Who's Frita?
-My secretary

Agree, Berube wants a skating team that is giving a lot of puck support and positioning playing without the puck. I'm not sure where Heatley would have fit into this type of system.

That movie is as funny to me now as it was the first time I saw it when I was 16.

I also think that movie is the birth of modern sarcasm.

Anytime someone asks me about my nationality (which, if you knew my real last name, would be obvious), I always answer "Scotch Romainian".

Because it's just the right thing to do.
