Turns out it was just a realllly big grape and the girl feeding it to me had incredibly small fingers.

Briere?

Nope Gomez was. He was parlayed into Mcdonagh, while the Flyers turned Briere into VLC.

If one does become available, it would be nice to actually have the cap space on hand to make that deal.
- Tomahawk

Deals can be made to get the cap space needed. If Streit can be traded at the deadline, he can be dealt at the draft or in the off season.

flyers dont need to add the "top" free agent they need to add those that fit their team.

When did any of those signings stop the Flyers from signing a #1 defenseman?

You mean salary dumps like Gagne for Walker, and Upshall for Carcillo? I kind of hope they'd stop doing that sort of thing.

Lots of ways to create cap space if needed. Those deals really crippled the team. Flyers never recovered from trading away Upshall.

I don't think the fans did, either.

Streit I can live with, at least he brings a skill set to the table that they can use.

AMac was an overpayment for a guy they could do without and VLC was just a complete mistake.

streit i was OK with but then going and getting vinny with an already logjam at center and seeing he wasnt the same player had disaster written all over it, yea on amac

well to get rid of vinny it wont be pretty, amac they should at least get a draft pick, maybe eat some salary too.

Flyers haven't definitively won a meaningful trade since the carter/Richards deals if you want to count them


Thats coming up on 4 years now

Getting a 3rd rounder for McGinn was good too.

The Flyers don't hit a home run on a trade every year.

Worst GM ever.
