Flyers 2006 Offseason Thread

I should add that I like the Baumgartner signing. He will be a solid replacement for Johnsson. He's the same age, less injury-prone (obviously), and he's coming off his best pro season by far.

I really like the Jonsson from whats on hockeydatabase.com Seems like a good skater/great shot and his only downfall is he gets too aggressive in the offensive zone.

Old Hitchcock will end that quickly.

Flyers signed Randy Robitaille from Minnesota. The Cup is ours.

Good to see Clarkie sign talent to go along with Marty Murray.

Great signing. The Flyers didn't need much upgrades going into the offseason, but Clarkie is putting quality talent on the team without breaking the bank.

Love it.

Your so right Bunkley...Robitaille is the last piece to putting a team together like the Saburs or Carolina.

QuoteGagne rejects Flyers' offer

   The Flyers appear to be a little farther away from signing restricted free agent Simon Gagne than they had hoped, reports the Trenton Times.

According to the paper, Bob Sauve, Gagne's agent, has rejected the Flyers' four-year contract offer.

"Where we're standing with the offer is nowhere," Sauve told the Times. "It's going to take a lot more than where we're at right now."

Gagne, who made $2 million last season, registered 47 goals and 32 assists for 79 points in 72 games with the Flyers.


TFP has learned that the native of Ste-Foy, Quebec is apparently looking for a contract around the $4.5 million range, annually, on a new long-term agreement.

The Flyers aren't offering him something in the $4.5m/year range already? Morons.

Seabiscuit36 · July 05, 2006, 10:19:05 AM

Supposedly they came to the table with 4mill...They have plenty of time to get a deal done, they just better not insult him.

BigEd76 · July 05, 2006, 10:20:17 AM

Unless a team offers 7/$42M and wants to give up four #1 picks, Gagne isn't going anywhere....

SunMo · July 05, 2006, 10:21:47 AM

maybe the Flyers don't want to spend that type of money on a player who is average unless he has a world class center playing with him?

Seabiscuit36 · July 05, 2006, 10:29:48 AM

Gagne was good the first time Forsberg went out, they he got hurt (groin, wrist) and never became the player he was earlier inthe year

Go Flyers.
