Yes, but wouldn't that be against the contract? I mean you can't sign a contract, and in 4 years a new rule comes out saying that contract means poop? I know they still get the money from the contract, but it doesn't seem legal.

They can do whatever they want as long as the players agree to the terms.

what I'm trying to see is like every team the flyers are no different in the fact that they have problems. the goalie situation is a problem but at the same time b/c problems can be solved, we are literally stuck with him through the GOOD and bad. the solution is the problem....Bryz

So if in the new CBA there is a clause that lets a team get out of one contract. Who will the flyers pick? At this very moment I would say its a clear cut 3 candidates. Pronger, Briere, or Bryz. Not sure if the Flyers organization can stomach paying out Pronger's contract for no production whatsoever. However Briere's is really cap binding, and the Flyers are deep at center. Bryz I would think gets a pass this year from the organization.

If that does happen, in my opinion they don't choose any of those 3. But you never know.

Honestly I would do Briere. Then after next season you find yourself with 17.2 million in cap space, with Prongers float of almost 5. 22 million in cap space in 1 season would be amazing. Then you have to replace Hartnell, Another scoring winger for Briere and Timonen... But still 22 million...

Pronger's Cap hit is $4,921M

The #Philadelphia #Flyers are close to completing a trade for a defenseman. Could happen within next 48 hours. Stay tuned.. #JackJohnson

Obviously not the case. If your saying the Flyers should use that potential buyout from the CBA, on Bryzgalov. It's not going to happen. Nor should it happen.

Hes a big dude. But if the scouting says he has below average hockey IQ, and the guy is a big minus player. I'm not sure hes the guy for this D core

I was getting at hes and OD.
The Flyers need a Pronger like player, another shut down defender who can log minutes, not a liability forward

The only thing that worries me is for a guy that size, he should be more physical. He has a lot of tools and is still young. It's a little bit of a risk, but he could be a star on the backend.
