YKNOW IF LALONGO GOES TA PHILADELPHIA HE SHOULD HANG OUT WITH ROCKY BALBOA I HEAR HE STILL LIVES THERE

Ryan Bright‏@philabright

PHI interest in Luongo tells me more about their feelings on Bryz than anything. Teams w/ No. 1 goalies don't typically kick tires

Spector's Hockey‏@SpectorsHockey

Earlier this week Holmgren denied he might make a trade. You know what that means: #FLYERSBLOCKBUSTER! Toot-toot! Chugga-chugga!!

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren on Luongo rumors: "That made me chuckle. Safe to say they aren't true. They have no basis or merit."

 

[pixburgher66]

Really no idea how they'd swing that. I don't understand the buyouts yet though...those don't count against the cap at all? And they can be done *now*?

 

[flyersfan4706]

In a way it makes sense, thanks to the Richards and Carter Clause. But the pricetag will be too much. No thank you.

I sincerely don't know who's in your system, but who'd be the centerpiece on the Philly side? I imagine they'd ask first rounder, prospect, top end roster player.

1st, Laughton/Cousins, and Voracek?

Oh dear Jesus, Homer.

And to think, just 6 years ago I would be losing my shit right now in a postive way.

And having to buyout Bryz. Seeing that I just couldn't see him doing it. I just can't see him not giving Bryz a shot. I know the guy is all over, but I don't think they'd buy him out without another shot this season.

Well it is not like the buyout hurts us, unless we are saving both for a really rainy day.

I agree, Bryz deserves this year. Shortened season, make or break. This makes sense at the draft, not right now.

Bryz & a 1st rounder for Luongo....BOOK IT!

from Adrian Dater:

The Flyers are scheming to figure out a goalie situation as follows...

Keep in mind: this may not work. But the Flyers' thought process as of Wed. night about their goaltending situation is as follows: they trade for Roberto Luongo, then:
1. Secretly hope that Ilya Bryzgalov retires to the KHL right away.
2. But with his huge contract making that about a 1% chance of happening...
3. Just barely sneak Luongo's $5.3 million cap hit under the cap level of $70.2 million for this season, and go with a goalie tandem for this short season of Luongo-Bryzgalov. This assumes that Chris Pronger's nearly $5 million cap hit comes off the books this year, because of LTI relief. (Long Term Injury).
4. If they don't win a Stanley Cup with that tandem they...
5. Buy out one of the two contractually. That leaves the other standing as the No. 1 guy, and then they can worry more about getting under the $64.3 million cap for next year.

I hope they pull it off. I think this would completely fuck them up

:hdn:

go homer go!

I guess we can call this the Wade Redden rule?

McKenzie: Rangers have three options on Redden's future

Basically they could buyout Bryzgalov after the season with the hope he doesn't get hurt or you are SOL.

You look around the league at some of the terrible 6 and 7 d-men on teams and i can guarantee you Wade Redden is still a lot better than a ton of them.

If his cap hit was 2.5-3M he would be in the NHL.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Rumor floating around that the Sabres are in talks with the Oilers. Names mentioned are Sam Gagner, Linus Omark, and Brayden McNabb.
