I don't care of the Flyers lose all their games against the Rags during the season, as long as they beat them in the playoffs. As long as you make into the dance...

Interseting story on how the Avalanch pulled strings to match the Rangers' offer sheet for Joe Sakic years ago.

I'm the opposite. When it was announced, I felt strongly that Nashville would match. I now feel that Weber will be a Flyer.

While I realize Weber is a franchise dman and they are so valuable, I do think Nashville can take those 4 first rounders and turn them into a decent return by trading them (whether its from the Flyers or another team(s)). Even as a hockey decision, I don't think letting him go is all that bad. I mean, you have a guy who, while said he would be ok staying there, did if fact sign an offer sheet to go elsewhere and has said he thinks the Flyers are a better fit. Just makes more sense on so many levels to let him go. that said, I am still leaning towards Nashville matching......less disappointment that way

So worse case scenario?

Nashville matches and counter offer sheets Voracek?

And Doan signs with either Pittsburgh or NYRangers?

Right so let's say Ryan to Pens and Doan to Rags, Weber matched and Voracek ridiculously OS'd so that Nashville can get to the cap floor.

Let's plan for that. F all this Xmas in July nonsense.

I have to give Nashville credit bc they have left everyone in the dark with this decision. Weber, his agent, and Flyers have all heard nothing. I'm amazed nothing has leaked.

The Flyers have leaked nothing either, but this is expected with Poile and Homer. Both operate in secret.

Doan has given Phx an ultimatum. They have until Friday.

Rags get Nash for a pile of poop, and Holmgren strikes out on Weber, there will be a mutiny.

Weber's going to the Miami Heat. He's taking his talents to South Beach.

How many picks would we get under the proposed offer sheet? May be worth it, and not the worse case scenario.
