Trade Rumors

They say it was a hip flexor. Shouldn't be out too long. I'm just glad it wasn't his knee.

hearing groin injury, not hip

Yeah, I've heard both. Night of the injury Panaccio reported it as a hip flexor but yesterday Sarah Baiker said it was his groin.

50% is perfect

the more cap hit they keep though, the more expensive he'll be to acquire

i dont think there is a balance of cap hit, improvement, and lost pieces that makes acquiring jbo worth it

i don't think picking jbo up off of waivers would be acceptable to you haha.

Agreed. The more $ they keep, the more talent we'd have to give up. No thanks.

@capgeek: League confirms "over-35" contracts will not be additionally penalized under cap benefit recapture rule in the event of early retirement.

That means it will still have the same penalties as the old CBA and not the new one, right? If Pronger retires he still counts against the cap for the Flyers.

Do we have any interest in blake Wheeler?

i would think yes.. which makes sense.. you're already getting punished enough by having to keep his whole cap hit

in pronger's case, i dont think it would matter much anyway because they could have his retirement be retroactive to when he was hurt and at that point i dont think the flyers had saved very much cap space vs actual salary

this is such a load of crap. yes the flyers shouldnt have given him a contract like that but at the same time, up until that time the guy played a majority of the games every year. there should be a committee that evaluates these kind of matters and determines the penalties teams get per early retirement.

I cant beleieve we are stuck with the cap hit for that long

its asinine, it really is. that is what insurance is for. the team may have to pay pronger but to penalize us for that long because he took a stick in the eye is fucking retarded.

I believe the rule was put in as a precaution against getting paid fat up front and then retiring when the money went down in the later years of the contract not for real injury purposes.
