2011 Flyers Offseason Thread

LOL @ Seravalli:

For those saying that the Flyers are considering a sign and trade with Stamkos, I don't see it at all. Time to move on.

Season's over?

I guess their next best option is Leino and Eric Cole.

FLYERS VICTIM OF JAGR BOMB?

Just got off the phone with someone I trust.

I was told Jagr has already told Lemieux that he's going to sign with Pittsburgh and that the Penguins have a huge front page for their Web site ready to go live at Noon tomorrow with a big "welcome home" theme.

Why the delay then?

From what I was told Jagr's agent Petr Svoboda may have been trying to lure another team into offering Jagr a bit more money so he can put a PR spin like "I turned down more money to come back to Pittsburgh."

Is it possible the Flyers are that team?

Maybe. Maybe not. There is no evidence that the Flyers even made an offer, although they have discussed the possibility.

But if it's true, it wouldn't surprise... Jagr needs to make a splash after being gone for three years.

However, Jagr is aloof enough that maybe, just maybe, he's changed his mind.

Get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow is going to be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Coburn signed a 2 year extension that starts in 2012

Rumor is that Handzus is coming back and they may be in play for Jagr

[SunMo]

Handzus is signed, the Coburn extension is not quite true

[Eagles_Legendz]

Don't care about Handzus at all.  He makes up for Richards defensive ability a little bit, but I'm hoping there's another move coming.  I'll take Cole.

[SunMo]

now they are saying Handzus is not signed.

the internet is neat

Philadelphia Flyers
Per Flyers GM Paul Holmgren: The Philadelphia Flyers have agreed to a contract with free agent RW Jaromir Jagr.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Christ.

No farging way. That's hilarious.

[SunMo]

he can probably give them 20-25 goals but it is just farging weird

[Hawk]

I just find it hilarious because the Pens fans on my facebook are going nuts right now.

[SunMo]

yeah, that's the best part
