Flyers two offers on Suter and Parise HIGHER than being reported. Much higher.

Well I guess no one should be crying about Hartnell's contract then.

this is why guys like Matt Read are hugely valuable
- Marc D


I agree. There are plenty of guys on EL deals that can be had for a decent price.

They would have to unload a bunch of players to land both. Even if they land one its going to force a trade.

A bunch or force one to be moved out? I know it isn't likely, but this is business, you move Briere, that opens up a bunch of space and a lot of the core can still stay in tact. Highly unlikely, I know.

Sure plenty of players. But plenty of good players on EL deals. Not likely to be had for a decent price.

Anyone upset about Bartulis? I see his buyout counts this and next year for $100,000.

The more I think about it the more I am on board with a monster offer to Zach Parise. To get Parise locked up long term and make Parise and Giroux the center pieces of this team for the next decade plus would be a great thing.

As for Suter, not so much. Especially to offer them BOTH monster deals. Just doesn't make sense.

Giroux-Parise for a decade... absolutely.

I rather spend some picks or move overpaid players (if possible) to acquire some of those players. The price for signing a free agent is beyond ridiculous at this point.

My guess is they don't expect to get both. Offering big deals to both to get one.

More like trying to get either or. and get an iron in both fires. They can't sign both. You make an offer to both and see what happens.

I'll look into my crystal ball and say the Flyers land neither player.
