The interesting thing is that basically every crazy move that the Flyers made this offseason was because of Bryz. If they don't succeed. It's on his head. For the next 8 years.

How do you see the East ranking? I mean...there's some serious talent in the East right now. In fact I think that the East/West MIGHT be tilting towards the East at last. Heck, in the Atlantic conference alone you could make a very good all-star team.

no its on homer. he did the same fuckin thing last year when he signed leighton to a 1.5 mil hit before free agency. goalies get less on the market, he just hasn't figured that out..

what a cryin shame. i hope vokoun goes 55-5 with 50 shutouts to prove homer wrong. what an idiot.

I generally don't get involved with this stuff but you may have a point pix. It will be interesting.

Edit: Lets not forget the Bruins won the cup and a few teams in the east "Beefed up" big time. I see Boston and Buffalo having some big time battles this year in the NE.

Ummm...yeah, gonna disagree with your hopes there. I agree that it's on Homer, that's my point. Just saying that all the moves that came as a result of needing to sign Bryz. Because of that Homer just went nuts and blew up the team. I can't believe still how incredibly different that team is going into next year.

Is Stamkos going to sign with the Islanders for $1.9 million now just to butt fuck us even more?

the flyers did it to themselves.. any pedestrian hockey fan knew vokoun was going to cost half as much as bryz.. the fact thats it even less is irrelevant..

that's just poor management. straight up poor management.

i left 20 games for them to split between neuvy and holtby.. you guys can have a couple wins of those

moves like this make me think that the flyers management has a combined brain of a 3 year old..

Ehhh no reasonable person could have see this coming. It is a dream scenario where a player just wants to win. There is a lot of risk involved for Vokoun. I don't get it. He has a bad year and there goes his big pay day.

How is this guy a superior goalie over Bryz? He has limited playoff experience, and has played on shitty teams his whole career.. A goaltender can only do so much and yes sometimes that's carrying a team for a few games, but a solid Defense is what makes or breaks a goalie IMO..If you don't believe me ask Patrick Roy!

limited playoff experiences is better than playing bad in your playoff experiences

bryz has played on shitty teams too as a starter

he put up vezina caliber numbers behind garbage in florida.. in 632 career games with nashville and florida he has a 2.5 GAA and a .917 sv%.. he's better than bryz.. just watch what happens this season..

edit: bryz has 326 gp with a 2.5 GAA and a .916 sv%.. phoenix > florida, anaheim (68 gp) is much better than both

even if you want to say they're comparable the salary difference is insane

Neither goalie is really...well...proven. They both have the stats, but not the wins that put them in the upper echelon of goalies. That's a very special place though, so no shock. It'll be very interesting to see them both in new competitive situations though.

I'm not buying it Bro, If these goalies were so hot teams would have offered them the kitchen sink years ago..Both are very unproven in the playoffs IMO but I bet they both have very good years..

its a HUGE difference though.. the flyers could've added a 4 mil d-man or forward to last year's team and vokoun, and been done. no need to gut it.

dont get me wrong, i'm glad they gutted it.. but if they decided to gut it and sign vokoun, they could've probably had stamkos or richards without having to leave the depth barren.

homer messed up. simple as that.
