I like Emery. I just hope his hips can hold up.

Of all the options left, he's the one I dislike the least (if that makes sense).

hey, thanks for the feedback. hope everyone had a great 4th

gotta admit, i'd rather have thomas, because we haven't seen that level of plyr in net for so long, but i know there's a chance that he won't be quite that plyr again and razor/mason should be a decent tandem.

An update on Giroux deal I tweeted about earlier today... It's finalized now: 8 years, $66.2 M _ $8.275 M AAV. Includes full NMC

I just associate Timmy Tom with drama.

This is EXACTLY the reason why he shouldn't be a Flyer

sounds like G's getting mkt value if that's what you're referring to.

glad they signed hall. a no brainer contract that would be easy to move if laughton comes in and shines. we could have 3 centers that are 50+ nxt yr

But...I mean....Thomas is on another level, I think....

While I don't agree with Thomas's views I respect him sticking by his principle's... Emery does seem to have grown up.

He's been nothing but an outstanding locker room presence. People mature. This is one of those cases

Oh poop I went to lawyers of hockey players . Com not hockey buzz ... My bad

Emery seems to fit more of what they want as a 1a 1b guy, where Thomas is more of a 1 or a totally bust if he cant recover from year off

NHL FLYERS Giroux deal finalized. Flyers are going to get busy making moves now.

I'd rather take a risk on Emery's hips than Thomas' year-off oldness.

I really don't care about his principles.

What I do care about is how it was close to being- if not actually being- a distraction. And after the cluster(frank) we just had?

No no no.

No thank you.

No.

Also, I think it is giving Mason the best possible environment to succeed. Emery wants to play, but since returning to the NHL has shown to have no problem with sharing time with another goalie. For Thomas, that has been a problem in the past.

That's not how the song goes!

Honestly though...I don't think they'll even have to, sans dumping Meszaros. Isn't that what Bill went in depth on yesterday? Or in the last couple days, anyway....

Give me the razors edge. 2 yr 4 mil

4 each? What does everyone think razor will get? Giroux, while worth it, just got paid. I was hoping it would be less.

Unnecessary to advise us of that. It's a deal breaker for Homer if not included in his contracts.

I agree, but maybe Homer got something planned since the draft...Giroux was always priority number one
