100th career shutout for Brodeur

Bums

Amazing it's been almost 2 decades and the Flyers still can't solve Brodeur

[Munson]

Imagine Bouwmeaster/Cobourn and Timonen/Parent as your top 2 pairs

As much as I like Lupul, that defense is dominating and worth giving up all that.

I'm pretty sure it's only 299.

a guy just called wip and said bob mckenzie is reporting flyers are trying to move biron to phoenix who would move biron to buffalo...flyers would then be 3.7 mil under the cap and then would have to just trade one guy and probably a prospect to get bouwmeester

also flyers are trying to get derrick morris

FLYERS STEPPING UP EFFORTS FOR BOUWMEESTER

(1:30pm et) - The Philadelphia Flyers are stepping up their efforts to acquire defenceman Jay Bouwmeester from the Florida Panthers, but salary cap constraints are rearing their ugly head.
           
The Flyers are bumping up against the cap and they are working hard to try to free up some space.
           
Sources say one of the options is trading goaltender Marty Biron and turning the number one job over to Antero Niittymaki. One potential scenario has the Flyers trading Biron to the Phoenix Coyotes as part of a plan that would see the Coyotes flip Biron to another team.
           
But the Coyotes aren't going to make that move unless they have the other deal already set up.

It should be noted, however, that Biron has a no-trade clause and would have to be on board with any move that is made.
 
There is also a similar scenario involving Boston goalie Manny Fernandez, who has reportedly been offered to Phoenix. The Coyotes have no interest in keeping Fernandez but might take him if they can flip him. Boston is only likely to trade Fernandez if they find a need to clear some cap space.
           
Sources say the Buffalo Sabres may be in the market for one of the available goaltenders, given Ryan Miller's high ankle sprain.

Robbing Marty to pay Jay?

they aren't going to win the cup this year anyway...so if you can get a 25 year old future stud dman, YOU DO IT

[rjs246]

So who do they go after this offseason to replace Nitty? I mean, this dude is clearly not the answer.

[SunMo]

your mom

[rjs246]

Her defense of the goal leaves much to be desired?

Bouwmeester is a FA after this year...and will want big$.
