2011 Flyers Offseason Thread

who gives a farg about the money?  they need a farging goalie.

[Rome]

they absolutely do but not at the expense of everyone else.  if he flames out then they're farged for half a decade.  i don't care about the money but the years makes my balls itch.

[ice grillin you]

they know they have at most a year or two left of a healthy very good to great pronger/timonen/briere trio so they have to overpay for a goalie to go with this current roster....of course its a risk but its a risk you have to take...breezys deal wont be anymore of an albatross than pronger or brieres will be in a couple years...after almost a quarter century of sub standard goaltending they are finally making a power move for a guy in his prime who hopefully will win a cup for them...how can you argue with that...i mean you wanna go with bob next year because of how their cap might look in 2016?...eff that

They still have to add 3 forwards and a Dman. Just because they need a farging goalie that doesn't mean you have to over spend for the guy. Not to mention he'll be 38 when the deal expires. If they don't get him signed by July 1st who else is willing to give him that kind of money?

-- Laperriere won the Masterton Trophy

-- The Flyers open next season at Boston with all the ceremonies going on

Why do you even care how old he is at the end of it.  This is about next year and the following year.

And I don't care if they have to trade Carle (expendable), Versteeg (stiff) or not re-sign Leino (average)

put a goalie with their team and you're SC favorites immediately.

They were SC favorites this past season. I don't mind ridding bad contracts, what I mind is Homer pulling his Dan Snyder routine of outbidding himself.

[SunMo]

they should probably just save the money and go with boosh again

Or explore other alternatives considering the cap is raising $5 million.

[SunMo]

such as?

you have a top 10 goalie in house right now.  who's better?

[SD]

Vokoun

Or maybe they let Bryzgalov reach free agency to let him see no one is going to pay $7 million a year for a goalie when salaries for goalies are on the decline

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Pretty sure that whoever is supposed to be the goalie next year is going to get seriously injured anyway, so they might as well just go with Lightning Leighton.
