Only a second rounder for Bob?.. Thought it would of been better to use him in a package. But good move getting rid of his salary

Guy had no shot to play here and that is a classy move. A 2nd round pick will probably not mean anything so lets see what else is out there.

BTW - F Luke Schenn.

i think a 2nd and two 4ths is a great return. to be honest, i didn't see bob by himself bringing anymore than just a 2nd, let alone two more picks. solid move, frees up some cap space, best of luck to bob! always loved him, thought he had a bright future as a starter here, but i think he'll be a nice middle of the road starter for columbus.

Not worth enough.. especially to teams with tradeable defensive assets is my guess

I think that's a tremendous return for your backup goalie that was being shopped around the league. Flyers allegedly also had a draft-pick offer from Winnipeg today for Bob but it looks like Columbus topped it a little.

Thats a good return for him..

Agreed

any "xxxxxsalo" is welcome in my opinion.

pretty similar to what nsh got for lindback (whose numbers are better). nash sweeted the deal a bit to get two seconds and a third, but pretty similar, imo.

Weber was a second round pick and he means a lot lol.

To be clear, the F stand for "forget". He is a nice player, but now overanalyzed.

Anyone care to speculate on this "much bigger deal", or at least opine as to its reality?

Diggin the Bob trade

think that's the only trade the flyers make today?

Honestly, I feel something brewing here. All those draft picks and just opened a little more breathing room cap wise. Homer has two sick trades coming. I can feel it.

Do you really believe the 45th pick is the next Shea Weber. Of course not.

I was wondering how he "slipped" in that draft, although that draft was unbelievable.

Please expand on your comment (for the benefit of the ignorant - me). I was kinda under the impression that any veteran backup we sign (or maybe promote) will not have a much different cap hit than Bob.

Well, they probably wont sign anyone to back up until like day 3 of FA or so. So his cap off the books now gives a little leeway for maybe another trade.

No I completely agree.. I was saying Bob wasnt going to get much more, because teams dont see him as worth more than that.

I LOVE Howson

hey man lundquist was a seventh there are a lot of good players that slip into the second round. flyers have a knack for finding diamonds in the rough.

they will sign a cheaper vet to back up Bryz. Bob was making too much money to be a back up.

the only other trades that were similar that come to mind were Varlamov and Lindback, look what they got, Homer got a good return.

Homer must have pictures of howson

Everyone has pictures of Howson.

That trade of Bob was Clarke-esque. Stockpiling picks with the ability to do more.

Here's numbers to show you:

Bob's cap hit: 1.75 million
Marty Biron's cap hit: 875 thousand

The difference isn't HUGE but with a hard cap ceiling every bit counts.
