Game on, bitches!

[TOX1]

you too man! i have been very busy at work and didn't have much to bring to the table. i just need to figure out whose jersey to get...

in order thus far this is what i'm thinking:

1. voracek
2. simmonds
3. b schenn
4. hartnell
5. giroux (so far down the list because bro has this one)

also leaning towards the away white this time instead of the home orange

My local Dicks has Simmonds & Giroux, Bryz and a Talbot at $160. (son #3 wanted to get a new one) They have a crap load of 50% off JvR and Bob too, but who cares.. Thought about getting the JvR one and having the name tag taken off. Hell...75 bucks for a number 21 jersey even without a name is well worth it, don't you think?

I could get my old fav "Brown" put on it for 50 and still make out. ha

...and tell your brother to get his ass back in here too! lol

well if someone on the team wears 21 this year i will most definitely get the name changed on it.

who is the captain of this team? i think it is safe to say that pronger is never coming back so it is time.

he will pop in once in a while, was finishing up school so now he has some more free time.

Thanks for the article i just love reading about the Flyers.

so when i read the article it basically just sums up the same problems we had going into last year ha.

carle is still overrated in my book.

flyers at 12/1 odds.. behind the pens (8/1, best odds), rags, canucks, and kings

he loves matt carle.. i dont really know why, but he really does.. he was a decent dman and helped the team for sure, but meltzer seems to bring him up at every chance

@mirtle: Can 100% confirm the new CBA will include the cap benefit recapture formula. It will apply to existing deals "in excess of six years."

Fuck fuck FUCK

 

[flyersfan4706]

@billmeltzer: Flyers would need Carter to get to 2022, Richards to 2020 and JVR to 2018 to be clear of any potential "recapture" penalties if they retire.

Fuck fuck FUCK

“We are proposing that all years of existing long-term contracts in excess of five (5) years be counted against a Club's Cap regardless of whether or where a Player is playing. While such contracts (and Cap charges) can be traded during their terms, in the event a Player subsequently retires or ceases to play, the effective Cap charge would revert to the Club that originally entered into the contract.”

that shouldn't be too bad for the flyers.. richards, carter, and jvr would be the only risky ones and they'll be 34, 37 (might not be good), 28 when their contracts are up

 

[awaz]

pretty bull shit clause to add though.. punishing people retroactively for a legal contract.. i feel like you could probably fight that one in court (or, could have if they didnt just agree to it, but with our legal system i still wouldn't be surprised)

Yeah that is why I'm angry, bring punished for something legal. Carter worries me.

ya.. i kinda expect to see some punishment for that one.. i wonder what the recapture fee/fine/punishment is.. i bet it's something like the former buyout penalty (2/3rds remaining over twice the duration)

JVR should be out of the league in 3 to 4 years we wont have to worry about recapturing him.

ha, that's what we're worried about.. we want these guys to stay in the league until their contracts are up, or the flyers will be punished

 

[dspice07]

why would the flyers have to assume responsibility for the contracts that were traded for fairly by other teams. as far as i'm concerned the kings should be responsible or whoever takes over that contract at a later time.
