Silly MoHat, September 11 is Bill's bday!

Okay well Claude's production has dropped every year for the last four.

Difference is they're paying Johansen for what they think he can do in the future, not what he's already done.

That said, I do think they overpaid him short term.
- BINGO!

Silly Nashville overpaying for a 1C. They should just be content to hover slightly above the cap floor and miss the playoffs for eight years in a row.

It's getting Hot in Herre

I'm not sure what you're saying... Are you trying to say it was okay that Claude produced at about the same rate as Brayden Schenn last year?
- BINGO!

Just being compared to Schenn is an honor. He is one helluva player.

I stopped reading after your first prediction because it's complete rubbish. No Flyers player wins a subjective award. evAr.

always pegged you for a Glen

isnt your name Glen?

Briere played with guts and grit much larger players could only dream of. He was always around the net and it the dirty areas of the ice. The slot, behind the net, in the crease.

Always ready to give you a little butt end of his stick in the gut. He bought time and space by acting like a wasp on the ice. If you got too close or too rough he would sting you but good.

I remember when the "big 3" free agents, Drury, Briere, and Gomez were all available at once. I didn't want Gomez at all, and felt Drury was the best fit. But it turns out they made far and away the best choice by targeting Briere.

See? The front office at that time did have a clue every now and then huh?
- MBFlyerfan

Briere was the Flyers' first choice all along but they actually had offers out to all three players simultaneously in case Briere opted for elsewhere.

Nice little Q&A with Hexy
