That seems kind of counter productive. It looks more like they want to rebuild than add salary.

So what's the final best offer, you would be willing to give Carle to stay. For me 6 yrs at $33 million - $5.5 million cap hit with full NTC, pay half the value of the contract in the first two years. That's my best offer I would feel comfortable doing.

i find it odd that there are almost zero Wild fans on this website

Maybe there's a fan site that is very active out there. It's certainly true of the Redwings. Not a lot of fans here, but a very active site that caters solely to them.

Just talked to Flyers source on odds of getting Parise/ Sutter: "Truly don't know....waiting."

How is this news worthy, Sam?

$5.5m AAV was the most I'd (over)pay for Carle before FA started. At this point, it seems more like an underpayment

"One prominent agent told me before FA began the Flyers would have trouble this summer luring impact players b/c a lot of guys aren't sold on goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's ability to win a Cup and based on what they saw this season in Philly, reinforces their belief."

I think Carle will have to leave money on the table to come back, we'll see how much he likes living in the Delware Valley.

Theres more to the game then just numbers. Not going to get into a debate about it. We are allowed to disagree on a players worth. Different opinions.

Pass on Parise. Pass on Suter.

Give Czech a long term deal.

Land Doan on a 3 year deal. (Jagr 2.0??)

Resign Carle.

Those are my priorities in order....
