Flyers went 7 games vs. the best team to ever play the sport in the Stanely Cup Finals that year. Hexy was a rookie. Keenan was the coach.

Apparently they traded the 2nd-round pick from the Fedoruk trade to Phoenix for a later pick and a #2 next year.  The Flyers now have 3 2nd-round picks next year...  :D

How is next years draft looking? I think Clarke took a little more than cap advice from the Eagles F/O  :D

this draft was considered weak as hell...next year is supposed to be a real deep draft.

I used to be a Clarke hater but i really like what he did this draft in knowing that he was unable to get Bobby Ryan and Marc Staal, he just traded back and stocked up picks for next year.  If anyone was watching yesterday Holmgren looked like he was pretty pissed off when they traded with Florida.  Im guessing he wasnt happy that all of their attempted moves fell through.  On TSN broadcast they really were talking about Carter and Richards being the guys to watch coming into this season.

SATAN IS A FREE AGENT![/color]   >:D

Sabres scoring leader becomes free agent

JOHN WAWROW

Associated Press


Miroslav Satan became an unrestricted free agent Sunday after the Buffalo Sabres declined to make a qualifying offer to the team's six-time scoring leader.

By not qualifying Satan's $4 million contract for next season, general manager Darcy Regier said the Sabres can now use that money to address other needs, particularly on defense.

Regier also noted that the team has depth at forward, including some up-and-coming prospects that could be ready to play in the NHL this season. That made it easier to part ways with Satan.

The NHL's free agency period opens Monday.

The Sabres also declined to make a qualifying offer to tough-guy forward Eric Boulton, a four-year veteran.

Satan, who represents himself in negotiations, was not available for comment.  :-D

Satan, a nine-year NHL veteran, was acquired by the Sabres from Edmonton late in the 1996-97 season.

In 2003-04, Satan led Buffalo with 29 goals and finished second with 57 points - the only season he didn't lead the Sabres in that category.

A three-time 30-goal scorer, Satan had 224 goals and 232 assists for 456 points during his tenure in Buffalo. His ranks seventh on the team's career goals list and 10th in points.

That sounds really reliable.  I'm taking that to the bank!

I don't want Hatcher and that rumor sounds highly UN-reliable.
