I feel like a 10 year old kid two days before Christmas waiting to see if I got what I wanted.

It's really stupid and sad but kind of awesome at the same time.

I'm surprised the GMs don't try the offer sheet route more then they do.

Whatever, things like this is why we have Moderators!

I guess this means someone told on me again. Though I didn't see anywhere in the code that would ban me, I'm sure its coming....

On an unreated note, a Mod recently told me I should seek therapy. And told me my behavior was starting to wear off on other posters. My apologies to anyone that my quick bans are starting to wear off on too. Daman...

It would be cool if they were outlawed inthe next CBA, and Homer got in the last one.

Flyers losing a pretty good trading partner in Nashville for one thing.

Then the influence this should have on the new CBA as well.

I don't think that Offer Sheets are the problem. It's the misuse of them. I think it's more likely that the some of the loopholes are going to be removed.

I'm not worried about the fallout with Nashville. More about the effects on the League.

I was told to take a reading comprehension class.

And that no one was interested in my hockey opinions.

I could go on and on. But I am now a choir boy. Even though....

It's a loophole that the Flyers are exploiting, they clearly have a big advantage as a wealthy team. The CBA has to change if they want a level playing field for the small market clubs.

It's my only thoughts on the explanation for the delay. Nashville is icing the kicker!

Yo Philly fans...
my take is we are ok with Weber and ok without. If we keep our current roster, add Voracek, Sestito, Bourdain, and still have room for Doan and/or Ryan. I think with our defense we are set for this year but next is trouble cuz there are no more proven, impact defensman out there next year and we need to replace Timonen.

I say stay where we are and have a balanced 1 thru 4 scoring lines.

Actually there are alot of free agent d men for next year that can be an impact player. Still rather get Weber though.
