Its crazy 7.5??? This worries me because of the amount the flyers were willing to throw at Parise. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the flyers

Here's a hunch. He signs with Phoenix in a day or two. Then we get the obligatory comment from the agent "Shane really likes it in Phoenix, and gave up a significant amount of money to stay here".

Translation - The offer isn't real, or is real and from a team with no chance to get him. "Rumor" leaked by agent so that Phoenix fans focus more on Doan giving up a fortune to stay there (meaning, he wants to be here) vs. keeping them hanging for the last 3 weeks (meaning, does he want to be here?).

great video

I noticed Matt Carle was in the middle of a ton of scoring plays on that


seriously going to miss his set up ability

also a Nodl sighting in the beginning!

- Marc D



lol @ rinaldo around 3:25, i remember that one

re: carle...i also noticed coburn, mesz, timo and even lilja getting in on the action. they'll be okay imo

the brief pronger sighting made me feel like vomiting

Noebels is not at the camp.
- bmeltzer


Will they likely send him to the AHL or possibly an overage season in juniors?

I hear the beat writer is Eskin's cousin.

So don't worry, there is no validity to the story (or a chance it is the Flyers).

Let me know if you're ever as successful as Eskin one day.

A lot of people may not like Eskin. But he was paid a 7 figure salary to talk sports on the radio. I'm jealous.

This offer only makes sense if a team needs to reach the cap floor and even then its still ridiculous and stupid.

Because the Philly media would take the opportunity to label him as "the Pronger replacement" and the expectations would swirl out of control from the get go.
