[Automattic]

Turco will accept that!?

 

[scottflyers88]

Marty Turco and Hawks have made a verbal agreement, 1 year worth $1.5 million...this is if they walk after Niemi arb. hearing or trade him.


seems like a big downgrade...but that's the price of placing all your money in one year. they still have to do SOMETHING about their cap.

I hear those verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on...

Looks like the Niemi to Philly trade is just about wrapped up!


i wish..

 

[scottflyers88]

maybe.

 

[pixburgher66]

who would the flyers get rid of to get niemi under contract though? it would be the ultimate irony though. imagine Niemi's first day in the locker room. if i were him, just for kicks and giggles i'd wear the ring into the room. "Oh, hey guys! Like the bling?"

 

[flyersfan4706]

Niemi is only asking for a couple million...but we have future goalies over seas and THE LEIGHTON

 

[scottflyers88]

they have space. they could get rid of walker and i think maybe that is all they would need. and a goalie like boucher. then they would be fine i think.

 

[flyersfan4706]

That would be awesome. Lose Walker, Boosh, Cote and for Niemi. With Leighton as a backup (Who can still be a good goalie!) that would be great.

 

[scottflyers88]

we would have about 3 mil in space after walker and boucher.

 

[flyersfan4706]

And if we got Niemi for 2.5 mil (Which is what he wants, right?) We'd have about the same room as we have now.

Make it happen, Homer!

 

[scottflyers88]

i would rather have him at that price than turco at 1.5 mil.

This would so get a rep if I had some to give you right now.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Same here. He is younger, and better.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Ive got him for ya.

 

[Slimpikins]

Philly could always trade Carle to the Sharks for prospects and picks to clear cap room too.

Just sayin'.

As a Wings fan, I'd love it if Turco went to Chicago. We've got his number for some reason. However, Homer might have to buy an extra case of padded jockstraps.
