Yeah but at least Grossman and Schenn are gone after this year. How close are Hagg and Ghost?

Know what really grinds my (frank)ing gears?
I visit a site like ebay, close the window then log on here and there's the exact (frank)ing ebay ad I was just looking at...why the (frank) would I click on it again when I just finished looking a it?

Then I get a (frank)ing popup that says that HB wants to track my physical location...for what exactly?...you already know what sites I previously visited because they're plastered all over the (frank)ing HB page

Why don't you just (frank)ing read my avatar location if your little (frank)ing spies don't know what to do with with my IP address after obtaining it?

And tell your poophead IT dept to do something about the Arabic popups disguised as a windows notification

Asset wise it makes more sense to stay where they are and take one of Provorov or Werenski.
- Dangles13


Don't disagree there.

Timing wise Hanifin sounds more nhl ready. Flyers need to stop wasting giroux's prime years and bring in high-end dmen who can help sooner rather than later.

Igor Eronko @IgorEronko

Nikita Zaitsev, one of the most promising Russian defenders, told R-Sport he's going to stay in the #KHL for 1 more year #NHL
8:57 AM - 24 May 2015



Zaitsev's got one more year left on his deal with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, and Igor Eronko notes that Lokomotiv's president has already confirmed they'd allow him to pursue other opportunities -- if it comes to that.

Eronko also states that Zaitsev's intention to sign in the NHL still hasn't changed

You would need lottery luck for that....and the Oilers brass had been relying on stuffing horseshoes and 4 leaf clovers up their asses why watching Midget porn from Ireland for the last 6 drafts.

the entire defense blows (as a unit)

you can't run out a bunch of 3-6 dmen and think you're gonna be a contender

they don't have a 1 or 2 dman

Good thing Hextall isn't just going fishing this summer, eh? He'll wheel and deal and get it right.

Gost is probably a year away. He put on about 20 lbs with his injury last year. He needs to get in ahl action and get used to his new frame and regain his speed that made him such a fun guy to watch.

Hagg continues to lack consistency he may never be more than a bottom pairing guy he could be 2-3 years away still.

Morin is probably 1-2 years away. Sanheim probably 2. Provorov is seen as nhl ready though if drafted probably given one year. I'd love to go for him defenseman are so valuable and theirs no guarentee the other 4 turn into studs. Draft provorov and him gost could be your third pairing next year after one year fine tuning.

Is this something new? Or just a plain old buyout? Damn that Vinny sure has a lot of cash....

it's a mutual termination which means Vinny and flyers both want out the contract. It's been used I believe twice in nhl history. The player normally wouldn't voluntary give up his guarenteed contract but Vinny after making his 2 million bonus on July 1st and getting his 3 million from tampa might be inclined to do it so he can pick his own team in an insanely weak free agency. He'd forfeit all money owed to him and become and instant free agent.

He might....but ....nobody is gonna pay him anything close to what he's owed in free agency.

the hope is since he's already making 5 million that he'd take a small 2 year 3 million contract with a team who will play him top 9. Flyers will have him 13th man all year hasktol won't baby him unless he loses 15 lbs and becomes an excellent skater this off season

Hey man as an oilers fan especially you should know what hope is for. I'm just hoping hextall can push Vinny in to such a corner he has no other choice but to retire or terminate his contract.
