Honestly I understand that these gents are making a tough decision of where to play for the next decade. However don't you think they would have an idea before July 1rst teams that they would play for. Cmon this is getting ridiculous

+1.

I said the same thing earlier. This isnt a shock as to who was going to offer you deals. They had time to think about it before they hit the open market. They took all day yesterday to think about it. At some point just make a decision. This is worse than the "THE DECISION" by Lebron. I'm starting to not like these two (frank)ers.

this could work out well for the flyers....they miss out on everybody and learn the value of cap space

Cap space not used, is well, not very valuable

I agree -- kinda annoying nothing announced yet. Don't you think both players already know?
- flyersfan51

Nah, I think each of them are down to two teams. I think they are both weighing how comfortable they'd be and it's no longer about money. I honestly feel the Flyers don't have a chance on either.

Every second they hold out may entice some team to panic even further and increase their offers. They are playing a very expensive game of chicken, and right now the only team being held up not making any moves is the Flyers.

It's not over yet.

Wait until about 4pm when both players announce that they will wait until later in the week to announce where they will go.

Let the (frank)ing chips fall already. Just tell the Flyers that they arent one of the teams anymore and we can move on.

The Flyers are the only team that hasn't made a move in Free Agency?

I think I kinda want Zach to go to the Pens, so we can watch the Pens dismantle that team year by year due to HORRIBLE cap management. You think the Flyers players could put aside their dislike for Letang when we sign him?

Why would they do that? They may be using the Flyers offers as leverage to go back to Pittsburgh and Minnesota/Detroit to get them to increase their offers.

It's up to the Flyers team Management to gauge the situation, if they believe they are out of it they should withdrawal the offers and come up with some plans on you know actually improving the team.

You didn't get access to the list of offers the Flyers made and didn't make (cause of Parsie and Suter, obviously) either?

That is true. We are lucky we have a strong young core and not counting on these guys to be the team just added bonuses. We will still be a very good team. Homer has his list. He knows what he is doing. Even if the rest of us frankers don't.

The Pens are more likely to trade him out West. Then if he doesnt resign somewhere he will hit the market and command more than what were looking at today.

Of the teams that are in the hunt for Parise and Suter I would say yes.
