I think offering him a raise at $3M should be able to keep him. Unfortunately, the cap comes into play and the Flyers are in no position to overpay for him. Flyers would likely trade him before just losing him.

He is RFA... They might take the draft picks, or file for Arbitration...

I will agree with you there...

To respond to your original comments, I'll let you know right now that I'm well aware of what the Flyers need and they have it right now. They need talented youth for the future but they also have to remain competitive right now. Guys like Briere and Timonen help us remain competitive. Guys that we've filled huge holes with in Kubina and Grossman help us stay competitive. Our Future is brought whether we move Briere now or at the end of his contract. If we move him now, we become less competitive right now. Homer is doing all the right things and making all the right moves. Even with such setbacks like Pronger being done for the rest of his career.

is it asking too much to have competent hockey writers and reporters who aren't all about drama. ok, we acknowledge Bryz MUST be better.....more consistent. that 4th goal was horrible. He was asked the question about it and gave an honest answer.....basically I miss judged it. of course Barkan kills him by saying no kidding. WTF do you want. he said he (frank)ed up on the play. Said he has to be better. so if he says no comment they would kill him. he answers, they kill him. he can play a stretch of 7-8 games with a 1.78 (or whatever it was) and have a terrible game and the comments come out that he has yet to win a game or play well. she is terrible and he is a drama queen.

If Barkann were killed for his errors as much as Bryz has been the last week plus, Barkann would have had 5 funerals, a zombie resurrection, and a final-putdown by Ash all in 1 day.

So if some feel like its going to be hard to resign Voracek this offseason for what he will probably demand or deserve, would it make sense to trade him before the deadline and get something for him?

Nope. I like the odds that he will be back in a Flyers uniform. I think he and the Flyers will meet at a number that works for both.

Going off the current CBA we would most likely see the cap increase to about 68-69 million. However, the most recent proposed CBA that I read about would actually restructure everything so that the the cap next year would be around 58-59 million. I don't think anyone can really expect the cap to increase next year.

The thing that is interesting about this whole thing is that I believe that the CBA doesnt expire until September 15th. So lets say the cap does go up under the current CBA to 69 million, then they bring in the new CBA. That could potentially be a good chunk of slary the shed. I'm guessing thats where the talks of a contract mulligan stem from.

Per the beats, Bryzgalov starting tonight.

woop woop great call

first win in what? 11 years in edmonton coming!

Per Panotch

We are all riding the storm (it's all about Bryz).

I didn't know it was raining in Edmonton.

One thing is for sure, fans are rallying around all the negative poop about Bryz and hoping he does well.

Glass if half full...

it's amazing how the Philly news market has gone TMZ

Barkann and the way he talks
Have you ever watched him, he talks out the side of his mouth.

I stopped watching Barkann on TV as of about 3 years ago during pre-game, post-game, and intermission bits.

Interesting Bryz stats. it think its very unfair for people to say he has yet to play well or win a game, etc etc. not accurate. what is accurate is that he has been way too uneven and he must find consistency for the Flyers to have a chance to win in the playoffs. people forget about the good games because for every few good games, his losses are putrid. he doesn't lose a good game. he loses in a horrendus way

Anyone read Engels blog about the Habs acquiring Carter? He is saying that rumours have the Flyers trying to re acquire Carter. These rumours are ridiculous..
