The pick in the Mason trade is a 2015 3rd rounder.

The Bob factor is very hard to ignore when thinking about this deal. I try, but I can't :/

Edit: Not that I think the move is garbage or anything. Maybe Mason finds some of his old game here working with Reese. I don't know

Bob's had a pretty nice stretch of games for CBJ this year.

Know who had a pretty nice stretch of games a few years back and was rookie of the year?

Steve Mason.

Point is: I think it's a little too early to be turning Bob into Ken Dryden and Steve Mason into Jim Carey.

3rd rounder is from2015

Feels a little better but still raises more questions than settles.

An injury prone 2nd line center, an injured grinder and a prospect defenseman...yeah, overwhelming.

Well, GM Riley Cote will certainly be disappointed when he can't trade that pick, won't he?

Cuz Philly is the place to go to build struggling young goalie's confidence!

And with Lavvy as coach!!

The reason we even have Bryz instead of Bob was because of how Lavvy handled Bob in the playoffs.

Being in an actual hockey market may help, it sounds crazy but people actually giving a shiit about the games might make the player give a shiit as well.

###NEWS ALERT ###

danny b has fully recovered, is practicingand will play tonight
- mydoglicks

He was cleared at 3:01 PM.

I believe it.

Thoughts:

Philly helps Columbus clear cap/salary restrictions to acquire Gaborik (taking Mason's 2.9 mil. cap).

By helping Columbus clear cap space, Flyers have helped facilitate the trade of one of our enemy's top snipers (Rangers) thereby boosting Philly's chances of sneaking into #8 seed.

Or am I just Lebowski sitting in the back of a limo holding a toe in a bandage.

Hey maybe Crosby will break his jaw again from smiling when he see's Mason is a Flyer

you da man ...whatever happened to daman on here?

the problem with bob was, he needed to start, with bryz that was never going to happen
- mydoglicks

and it's the old hindsight being 20/20 as well. When Bob was here there were a million comments about how he had fatal flaws, and would never be a top notch goalie.

he's had a good half season and now some people think he's Hasek in his prime.

Not impressive at all. Not really sure why people are saying the Rangers got the better of that deal. It seemed like it was just a cash dump of a player the coach did not like to sign a different big name free agent in the summer time.

Source in Minnesota says deal is Pommer for Hacket, Larsson AND a first and a second.


Overpayment of the Year?
- shekkie

I kinda hope so since BUF is a total mess and they need some good fortune. I also like Pom in Minny for the POs. This is exciting!

3rd rd pick for a rental back up when their chance at the play offs is very slim is what the deal amounts to.

I can't see them keeping Mason and Bryz both next season at ~8.5 M cap hit for the two goalies

Homer figures Snider will be dead by then, so (frank) it.

That's not as bad, I guess.

your like an fbi agent

- mydoglicks

Maybe this means we just re sign Mason at a reduced rate. How much to qualify him? One of the two goals for Homer was to get a backup and the other fix the D. I am sure he thinks the first one is off the list here..
