Paying him off to get an addition 2.2 ish mill in cap space one year and an additional 1.2 ish in another while foregoing his potential production seems like throwing good money after bad.

I agree. The only time you buyout Briere is if there is an amnesty in the next CBA...

But as Crims would like to point out... "We are in a playoff run. Why are we talking about the offseason.... "

Still. He's movable imho.

Crims so seldom makes cogent comments, we must give him credit for making sense there!

Gee, I thought the avatar just had to not be in violation of the Code of Conduct. Are you keeping a spreadsheet?

You give him far too much credit... He only said it beacuse I brought up the topic. As soon as people agreed with me, then he stopped...

Very. A few of the scenes really stuck with me; no need to get into them, because they are of the disturbing variety. But I just can't imagine how you would get yourself in the right frame of mind for something like that. Really impressive performance.

But that's okay if the guy scores in the playoffs did I miss something?

Gomez 99 points in 140 games
Briere 96 points in 97 games

Bo... I beginning to notice a pattern... Everytime you post, the forum slows to a crawl..

Thoeries... The light of your posts sends the cochroaches scurrying... Or Everyone is rapt with attention waiting for you to speak again... Or people are afraid of being banned...


I'm going with option 2

Well then you agree. Briere was valuable in the past, but the money could be spent in a better way going forward... So IF an amnesty cluase came up, you use it on him... Better yet... If you have 1 amnesty buyout per the entire CBA, you wait to use it until you have too... So if 2 years from now Bryz is aweful and Briere is still producing you use it on him... If Bryz is still doing good, and you need the cap space you use it on Briere...

I could make the same arguement for Timonen, or even Pronger if he was healthy. they coulld use that money to keep Carle and go after Suter.

Jody Shelley took extra skating today, and will be the only available forward if Talbot does not play. Given that, it would seem Talbot will play tonight.

See that right there is why I can't agree with any of you guys. It's oh this oh that oh he plays in the playoffs so he gets a hall pass for underwhelming in the regular season. Geez did you ever think if he wasn't on the FLyers or a playoff team how bad it would look?
- JoeRussomanno

But you gave Bryzgalov a hall pass when he was underwhelming during the Season earlier.

Right, but Timonen only has 1 year left, so the buyout would be a waist. And Timonen may be declining, but his game is still VERY consistant, while Briere is a streaky player like Carter was. Apples and Oranges.

I didn't notice any slowdown in posting during the lively fraud discussion in which I participated. I believe you suffer from selective memory.

And after 4:30 there is a commuters' lull every day.

Isnt that the truth.. My mother, my boss, and my wife say the same thing... But they are all women... so maybe my selection has something to do with naggy female voices....

that's like me posting gretzky schooling pelle. why would you do that?

i love bobby taylor saying it was a clean body check when he clearly put his shoulder right into his head. i don't give a poop that it was 1985. it was dirty then. it's dirty now.

Not really. Not if Suter is a UFA and he is who your targeting and need the Cap space to do so. Your replacing a 37 year old with a 27 year old player.

this works on so many levels. 1985, indeed.

the only clip? hmmm. figured you'd find his first nhl goal, i think on pittsburgh's paul harrison, since it was a penalty shot. after all, he IS a marksman.

I've already illustrated how Bryz's struggles weren't all his own. Briere's are his own. I know you don't agree but it's the truth, it's why once these new defensemen were added I foresaw a change this very season and it happened. I don't know what to do with Briere but cross my fingers and click my ruby heeled slippers together and say there's no one like Danny three times fast. Yea he made a nice pass to Hartnell in overtime. how about the rest of the game? Oh and who's to say that pass wasn't meant for Coburn who opted not to take the pass or just didn't see it?
