Flyers dont have to buy out both Briere and Bryz to make this work. You misquoted Bob Mckenzie there.

Briere was all but certain to be bought out anyway for what it's worth.

how does paul holmgren still have a job? flyer ownership needs to stop living in the 70s and bring in a GM who actually knows something about hockey, and stop the trips down memory lane with guys like Clarke and Holmgren.

They have to buy out one. Right now the Flyers are two million over the cap. During the summer you can only be 6 million over the cap. League allows summer cap to be like that. So unless Streit signs for 4 million or less than the Flyers will need to make a move.

Flyers made a good move. They buyout Briere, put Pronger on LTIR. They will have a healthy dcore, that looks pretty good next season.

Timonen, Coburn
Streit, Grossman
Schenn, Meszaros
Gustafsson

Why would you buy you Bryz when you finally have a healthy core like that in front of him, They could easily trade up for Nurse, and have Cousins waiting in the weeds. This potential signing just gives them a lot more options now this summer

Mez will likely be dumped for more cap room. No flyers fans will like the deal he signs but theres no doubt it makes the team better. The fact is the flyers are pretty desperate for a defensman with puck moving ability like Streit

I would trade for Mez with one of our cheaper dman. O'Brien or Zanon plus a lower end prospect

We have too many dman on 1way contracts, need to upgrade by unloading them. But to upgrade I would trade a guy like Brad Malone for a better dman, he is a tough little guy, pure energy guy but had some hands

The sad thing about Mez is that he's a good dman when he's not injured. Sadly, we know what's going to happen: if we keep him he'll always be hurt, if we trade him he'll stay healthy a be great for
his new team. That's how our luck goes.[url]
