OB, about what time of year does the Junior Season end? Including playoffs?
- MJL

The regular seasons end:

OHL - March 16th
QMJHL - March 15th
WHL - March 16th

The Memorial Cup is May 16 - 25 in London (Stolarz team) I think the latest any leagues playoffs could go would be May 8 or May 9.

Watching Erie vs Guelph now.

I thought the same.

Ditto. I am very happy with this extension, solid price and pleasantly surprised to see it took less than 4 per to keep him from reaching UFA.

Nice extension for Read

Just saw this and I am pumped.. Fantastic guy and great player. He's got me and my gf in to meet the entire team in 2012. I won't forget his kindness and it's good to see the good karma repaid and that he will be set. Also, didn't want my Read jersey to become obsolete... hahhahaha

Well now, aint this a surprise!

ooo... just leight

I was thinking it'd be some place just north of $4 million
- ob18

I thought it'd be closer to $4.5 so I'm more than happy

Very stoked about the Read extension. Very fair deal for both sides, and the Flyers get to hang onto a very valuable player that fills a variety of roles.

ooo... just leight

I like that the Flyers have so many mature, class guys like that. I think when you add up all of our individuals, we have one of the best and most mature locker room environments in the league.

3.625... well done Homer.. Read is more valuable than he gets credit for.

Now I know how it feels

and Holmgren is a much better GM than he gets credit for.

I like the team personally. No idea what the room is like etc.. I hope they stay healthy and make a run.. that's all I am asking right now lol

Flyers camp invite Stephen Harper just scored for Erie - shorthanded

Nah, I'm pretty sure Homer can do no right. Why are we celebrating this? We should be criticizing him for not signing Read for 2.5!

That leaves the Flyers with $7,314,405 of Cap space for next Season. Needing to re-sign B Schenn, Timonen or a replacement, and both Goalies or replacements.

Not counting how much the Cap goes up.

The room goes how the winning and losing goes.

You don't have to tell me that..LOL He's done a solid job IMHO overall. Now he's got Hexy running the minor league team and helping him out as required etc.. I think we have an awesome front office....

If we miss the playoffs again though, I still think Homer gets the axe in favour of Hexy. Just my feeling.

It seemed the room was solid in 2011-2012, but they got schooled by NJ in the playoffs.

If they miss the playoffs, Homer and Laviolette are toast. No doubt about it.

But Holmgren's a good GM. I do wonder how much of the bigger moves were done at the behest of Snider, especially the Bryz deal and the trading of Frick & Frack

Seems like we are good cap wise then..

If you make the playoffs, you're winning. It's not always the case, but normally you don't hear much about issues in the room when a team is winning.

Squeaky tight as usual. But it's always going to be like that. And a lot can happen between now and then.

I think Laviolette would definitely be gone. But I don't see Holmgren being fired, even if they miss the playoffs.

I guess we can't know that, but if you want a GM that isn't timid to make a big move or admit when the org was wrong and move on, he's your guy.

One question I ask myself, if Homer is so bad, and the org is not solid overall, how come Vinny turned down offers from what seemed like half the league to come here.. I was shocked when he signed with us, and it really told me a lot about how the org is perceived.
