I don't think there will be any more moves today. It's the 4th of July. Things will go down tomorrow.

Wild players ecstatic. Heatley says he spoke with Suter 2 nights ago and swapped texts with Parise. Both asked: can we win. Answer: yes.


Someone text Matt Carle NOW

He's the perfect Lidstrom replacement.

I wish someone would have outbid the Flyers for Leighton. Unfortunately Arby's and Pizza Hut were only offering minimum wage.

Too risky to play the honor system. Id expect GMs are working phones with agents now

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.

Flyers fans definitely under rate what Matt Carle brings to a team.

With that said, there is absolutely zero chance he gets 10 years 65 mill. ZERO.

If it's 10 years it's a deal under $50 mill for sure. That would be the only benefit to going 10 years on Carle...

Im not undervaluing his importance, rather just laughing at the ridiculousness of the contracts being handed out today

This stuff goes down on Canada Day (July 1). I don't see why July 4th would shut down the rest of the hockey world

You may be right. Can't imagine Homer stands pat. He has a few days to prepare for this outcome.

Flyers are going to acquire either Nash or Ryan. Only a matter of when.
- Flyers2821



I don't feel confident about either one, we can't afford a D man W/O Carle here
& they want Schenn or Courturier, no deal

Bidding war for Matt Carle next, should be good entertainment as long as the Flyers stay out of it beyond 5M
