He signed up for Hockeybuzz, diagnosed Medvedev, and traded Giroux all in a days work

Another scenario:

He knows he's done but he's pissed about this season. He works out just enough next summer to not get sent down for a "conditioning assignment"*, accepts that he'll still be a healthy scratch**, gets every penny of his contract.

Plausible?


*(if that even is such a thing. I don't know. Someone here posted it a while ago.)
** he's used to it by now so maybe he decides it's not so bad

Certainly possible.

Hell, it's not even 3:30. Take the rest of the day off, you deserve it.

I didnt bother wasting time trying to find one that accounts for the future so the numbers there dont show the 500k that comes off from Grossmanns contract. Obviously has the same cap hit. I think the combined numbers for B Schenn/Raffl are pretty conservative too

So you see the Flyers not making any trades, and not adding any other young players to the roster for next season?

If you actually watch the flyers game you would've heard them talk about it pre game tues before kings game. But I guess being a super fan you missed it. Maybe you saw your boy giroux lose an important face off with a minute left that game that lead to the tying goal.

I don't disagree with you, but it's pretty hard to add players to a projected roster when you don't know what teams/players we will be trading with/acquiring. I think it is somewhat reasonable that the players on the roster will generally be making what he has suggested.

He did remove Gagner.

So the announcers have confirmed he has a concussion? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I find it odd that the broadcast crew would be the way they'd break a medical story days after the coach and GM said he was fine.

Fact: I have no idea what will happen. And I'm in the "no need to buy him out now" camp.

Who gets traded and who can they call up? I am saying currently this is the situation they find themselves in. Today, the day we are discussing what will need to be done next year, this is the situation they are in.

I know the situation the team is in and can look towards the future, I am not just posting about it for my health. It is the same reason why I wanted to cry when I found out Schultz got signed for 2 seasons. This coming offseason is the one that matters for the Flyers and is the offseason where the crunch hurts them. Sure I would love to have guys traded for next year, but we have to see it happen. As I have maintained, if it comes down to it, VLC may need to be bought out and it really doesnt hurt them all that much if he does.

I have thought of it which is why I asked you about it. You are talking about it like Vinny can fit in under the cap next year no problem, but it sounds like you are assuming someone is traded. I am all for having an actual conversation about this, but we need to agree that the team will have serious trouble fitting under the cap without cutting/trading someone from the roster. Everyone thinks Hextall will trade Streit at the deadline, but it is up to him to see if that's where he thinks he will have the most value. Maybe a team doesn't want a 39 year old on the books for 5.25 next season (or cant fit him like the NYR)

Medvedev says hit he took vs WSH reinjured him about the head. He had just come off the concussion. He is injured and not healthy scratch

10. “If this team doesn’t put points on the board I don’t see how they can win.”
14. “Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game.”

It's pretty easy to speculate that Vinny will fit under the cap if you trade players until he fits
