I'm sure they will be a bit more realistic if we O.S. him to a 7 yr $56M deal.

It's not possible to offer sheet him with our cap situation unless you're ready to dump Grossmann, Coburn, and Meszaros for 7th round picks just to clear the cap space to take on an offer sheet.

Ellios and orange crush was our post ball hockey routine many moons ago!

- Marc D

That conversation had me LOL'ing. I love Ellio's -- and Orange Crush. Used to ask Mom to serve that for Flyers games when we were kids. Rarely worked.

Guess Lecavalier will have no impact. He sucks.

Emery will outscore that stiff.

Jagne Gagr would be one hellava player.

Price for AP would be too high. I could see them asking for B. Schenn, Voracek, Morin and Cousins. Maybe even more.
- jstross

They'll be more realistic and we can work around that. Read, Coots, Coburn, and 2 1st is an overpayment, and we wouldn't have to give Morin or Voracek.

I'm still curious what the asking price for Bogo is.

Cant believe the Jets continue to do next to nothing to add to their team. Its like theyre trying to outdo Feaster.

Oh, one more thing. About that fight last January with Luke Schenn that you lost ...

Lecavalier started laughing.

“Luke Schenn texted me and said, ‘At least we won’t get to fight, anymore,’” Lecavalier said. “That was good news for me.

He’s a big boy, strong boy. In the heat of the moment, things happen. In the middle of that fight, I realized that maybe I should not have [fought him].”

Yup.

And this drives me nuts. People will say this guy is 6/6 if Jagr signs there, but Jagr and Montreal have been linked all morning by many other people!

Yup.

I can't believe he's only 6'2. He plays so much bigger.

I understand your point but I still think it makes him a credible source if he posts news on his twitter.

Flyers were up against the Cap last year when Holmgren OS'ed Weber. It's never impossible with Holmes in the driver seat.

I know. Could you imagine if Coburn played with Schenns mentality. He'd leave a trail of bodies behind him.

Hahaha I can't help it. When 10+ other people I follow on twitter have been saying that for the past 5 hours, I can't give a guy credit that chimes in now about it unless he was the first to give the actual terms of the deal.

Here's a fun fact:
If STL resigns Stewart for $4mil, then they could very barely afford to sign Pietrangelo to 7.5. They'd have about 350,000 left And my hunch is Stewart, who led their team in points last year, is going to want more than $4 mil. If Stewart gets $4.5mil, and someone offers Piet $7.5 or more, then STL would be in pretty big trouble.

He doesn't like to call it unless it's a sure thing.

I hope Pronger and L Schenn take Morin under their wings and he takes a hint about that style. A 6'7 L Schenn is a terrifying thought.

They could probably find some cap floor team to take JayBo. I think best case scenario for the Flyers is to see Pietrangelo agree to a short term deal and re-visit re-signing him at a later date.
