Flyers offer was over 100 million from reports. Left money on the table.

From all accounts, Suter had no intentions of coming East and Parise didn't have the heart to stick it to the Devils. All the Flyers did was drive up the price and I commend them for that! Now, lets get the players we need!

It;s certainly not that bad of news.. they went west, and not to Pitt etc..

I'd like to see if Homer can get another Dman and maybe Doan.

So is it safe to say the UFA pool will be completely dried up by 5pm today? With the exception of Shane Doan of course.

I think both Nash and Ryan will be traded by 5pm as well.

Going to be one eventful 4th of July

I think it's more likely the Philly press is a negative over Bryz

Pitt lost Sullivan today too.

They'll go after Doan hard.

Maybe, maybe not.

Because it's the 4th of July we might see little more action.

It's Suter that isn't worth that kind of $, but a desperate team like the wild will do this

It's actually a good thing for hockey for both to go there, too good a hockey market for them to continue stinking

Now Nashville can start laying the 2nd shi$ brick (Weber)

That would be the best news of the day if Carle goes to Detroit.

That's what I'd like to see as well. I know people are against it but I'd give Doan his 4 years. If Jagr could leave the NHL for 3 years and still make an impact upon return I think Doan can maintain his level of play for at least another three years.

suter, gilbert, spurgeon and scandella is a much better top-4 than people realize.

Today we remember why they fought for freedom, so Matt Carle can sign a 10yr 65 million dollar contract to skate a puck up a sheet of ice slightly faster than the average defensemen.

Let's hope. I'd like to see him here in some kind of Jake + package.

scandella played the best competition of any minn d last year and started most of his shifts in d zone and broke about even scoring chance-wise. not bad at all.

edit: and gilbert has been the same way for years. both get the matt carle treatment because they don't have any one thing about their game that really pops out.

Flyers are going to acquire either Nash or Ryan. Only a matter of when.
