Sounds like Gomez to the Rangers and Rafalski to the Red Wings too, so the Devils took a major hit...

Supposedly this Briere contract has a no-trade clause and is $10M in the first year, but it's still only $6.5 against the cap

According to an interview with TSN, Briere said he was offered $7M/yr in other places but wanted to come here.  He did say Biron being here played a factor...

Why is it that the hockey team is the only team in this town that realizes they're in the 4th largest media market?
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Flyers just made another trade:

Pitkanen and Sanderson to Edmonton for Oiler captain Jason Smith and forward Joffrey Lupul (was part of the Pronger trade)

Calling it right on the $ since day one.

Flyers also give up a 3rd round pick
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Best Flyers day in ages. Incredible trade and great signing.

I guess Timonen's going to have to find someone else to mentor.

What is the deal with this Lupul guy, is he any good?

The Smith/Lupul deal is absolute highway robbery.   Holmgren should be reported immediately to the FBI.   :-D

Lupul was excellent in Anaheim before being traded to Edmonton before last season.

Smith is a good defenseman who actually plays solid defense.  In other words, unlike Joni he does precisely what he's supposed to do behind the blue line.

Lupul is good, but Joni has the potential to be great.  Sure he's a tard but his level is scary.

The Rangers supposedly signed Drury along with Gomez.

Man they are pathetic. It is going to be so funny when they don't even make the playoffs, let alone contend.

If Pitkanen realizes his potential, the Flyers will regret this trade for years.
