i hear ya, but it's not as if they traded read or couturier. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out

i think the new cba changed the bryz situation a lot. the "cap-savings" clawback provisions make his contract look a lot scarier long-term (not to say it wasn't scary to begin with). and having that option to get out from under a long deal after two or three seasons makes having a young nhl ready goalie more important. provides flexibility

this isn't to say they deserve no criticism, just that i believe changing circumstances around the league have something to do with it as well

It's just needless. They are basically hoping Mason becomes what Bob was a year ago, but with a worse overall record. Totally needless, and could've been remedied by just holding on to Bob. Now we play the wildcard game again. This organization will never learn.

Hartnell is such a klutz.

Does that include bonuses and other incentives?
- MBFlyerfan

Yes but I suspect not appreciation of stocks previously owned unless they are cashed in.

I think you mean their injury situation. I heard Rinaldo is out with a bad dithyramb.
- Flyskippy

Nah, I can deal with the injuries. I'm having a hard time dealing with the way they manage goalies.

The future is bright except in goal. What happens if Mason poops the bed? He's had one good season and then crap since then. Are we really content in hoping it all works out magically as we did in the past?

It just makes getting rid of Bob all the more ridiculous. They got rid of a guy they already had for a good price, who had a nice upside, who is now tearing it up.
- feelingkettle

If Mason and whoever the Flyers pickup in the off season both poop the bed they'll have money to sign a 'good one' or two. The Bryz contract is just too long, IMO. He's got the 3rd longest goalie contract with the 8th highest AAV. Based on the talent around him and the performance relative to the contract one has to determine if the team can get better value elsewhere. IMO, the team can get better value overall with shorter contracts. I'd buy him out and not chance injury.

No

Yeah, look at the deferred compensation balance on that site. $54mm

You just pulled a statement out of your behind without verifying. I just MJL'ed you with sources.

Well, his hip could give out again, so yes.

True about the health.


Okay if he stays healthy (which he has this season) can he be worse than what we have now?

Simmonds.

Nice new contract.

Price is certainly having a heck of a game.

Okay. I didn't know if it has hurt Comcast business wise.

From what we're told, and granted it's only our region, that in some areas sales are exceeding expectations-like TV & Internet customers, but that others like phone and home security are below expected numbers.

*hopes someone comes up with a Lavi switch gif involving goalies and raking their psyches over the coals*

Again, with the risks in goal. He could stay healthy, but you know that's unlikely to happen. He will probably get his leg cut off in practice.

Yes, and you think the hockey team affects cable TV prices. I just figured you were too stupid to google it. Seemed like a safe bet

Simmonds.

- FlyerGuy

that was a nice shift by that unit. very frustrating game to watch. no way should they be losing this (frank)ing game, and yet, they are.

If not for the injury he would of been the perfect fit.
- stveshdy

He was great before that. I thought we had one. But then I remembered its the flyers

FACT: Roy Halladay is only pitcher since 1916 to strike out 9 batters in start that lasted 10 outs or fewer.

Nothing they have shown me recently says that they can competently go about getting a "good one" or two. I would love to get lucky this time around, but the chances of that are slim.

Price is certainly having a heck of a game.
- jstross

he's had a good game ... but the Flyers are also hitting him square in the chest with a lot of these shots.

Comcast is a publicly traded company. You don't have to be an employee or stockholder to find out about what you claim to know.

Gotcha. Should always be in business bc people can't survive without TV.

- jstross

they're hitting him in the body all game long. not making him move. no real screens or traffic. no oddman rushes. he's just in position and letting pucks hit him.
