Anybody want Bryz?

[flyersfan4706]

Losing Carter and adding Bryz and Voracek and a #8 pick (In a weak draft, though) is fine.

Kypreos saying the deal is done ... thinks its 7 years 50 mill ... flyers need to clear room before announcement

Gulp!! Bryz hit the jackpot if true.

/I'd still rather have Cory Schneider and pay him in the $4 million range...

how about RobertO at 5.3?

/dash ... Feaster might be in the process of extricating JayBlo off the cap ... if true he wins next years GM of the year

Bobby Lou gets one more chance next season, that Canucks team is still very good, add some grit and maturity (Burrows needs to grow up), dump Lapierre (he's more trouble than he's worth), and they'll have another great shot at the Cup next season.

Lots of talk about him ending up in C-Bus with Kris Russell coming back...The only thing I worry about is he is a minute muncher, who's going to gobble up that playing time?

there are holes in the top 6 imo ... the helicopter line needs some work especially with Raymond out til at least November. Not sure Higgins is top 6 or if he's even coming back

In the early rounds of the playoffs I had Lapierre pencilled in on next years roster at 1 mill ... if he can get more elsewhere, good luck to him

at some point you have to get some production for all those minutes, no?

yeah you certainly do...He's become too much of a whipping boy in Calgary anyways, that position belongs to Matt Stajan.

 

[ritari330]

Wow, that cap hit would be 7.1M, highest in the NHL amung goalies....

Lappy is RFA - $900k last year, so $990k to qualify, I think.


As for $50m / 7yrs for bryz.... holy shit that's a lot of cake for him.
Flyers finally have stability in net though. good for them.
but they had to shed salary anyways, now it could be a full-on gutting.
5 players (range of $4.2 - 6.5 mill) with no trade clauses, not much to work with otherwise.
it'll be interesting to watch, anyways.

Yeah, I hope that's true. They will be screwing themselves right in the flyhole if they give a goalie that much money.

With the cap going up and the other trades they'll be making they will be fine...at least for the short term. Better win a Cup now!

Yeah, they are not going to be in a Blackhawks situation, but that's a LOT of money in a goalie in an era where teams aren't spending a ton on goalies. They won't be screwed, but they'll lose depth, which was their hallmark this year. Probably will improve them overall, but I think $4-5 million could have kept a really good role player for them instead of an "AHL winger." That's all.

I really, really wish that 4-5 million would've been all it took to sign him! Trust me!!!

 

[loki604]

That number is ridiculous. Who the hell does he think he is?

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Meanwhile Tim Thomas only gets $5M next season and $3M the year after.

"why you heff to be med?"

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Flyers should walk ... Luongo for Jeff Carter is a much much much better deal for them

Well I'm happy they're paying so much because they're my rival team, but it's not like Bryz has done enough to deserve to be the highest paid goaltender.
