So Panaccio says the Flyers have offered both Suter and Parise more than any other team, and apparently the Pens have NOT offered Suter a contract.

Something is fishy here. I guess we'll found out tomorrow...hopefully.

Apparently not. I don`t even know how they are gonna manage the cap. I guess it could be deals to be made before the new CBA disallows long term deals like this.

Not sure it`s correct either.. The fact that Mackenzie has said we`ve offered contracts to Paise and Suter holds weight to for me though.

Yea, I don't believe him either. But Bobby Mac did say we offered them both $100+ mill contracts.

Don't forget Hartnell and Shelly.

I will drink a 24 the day that Shelly`s money comes off the cap.

So...for poops and laughs, let's say we sign one of Parise or Suter for a cap hit of 8.

Am I correct with the following:

1. Bye bye Czech
2. Bye bye Carle
3. Bye bye Mezaros (to get back under the cap....)

Well, for intents and purposes- the pockets do end. At about 70 mill.

I don't want this team to lose its future because of Parise or Suter....

Thanks for the in depth answer buddy!!

Could you elaborate a tad please? Would we have to trade someone with a Mez-like cap hit to stay cap compliant?

I don't know any of the numbers associated with our off season "cap".

MJLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!???

Eddie isn't about the future he's about the present. Win now worry about the rest later.

Then again the elderly players got screwed by the new team healthcare system. Lilja and Timonen are looking for raises next year. Flyers will sign both

He'll be writing combination of checks out for $26 million over the next year. They must feel Suter is a #1 d-man. He plays a positional game more then a physical game, you would think he would have less wear and tear over the long haul then Parise.

yeah, I guess they have to cover pre-existing arthritis. hmmm, this is complicated. I'll have to sift thru the 18,000 pg manual.
