I went to Geno's and ate legendary pillycheesesteak! If you are there be sure to ask for new item on the menu phillycheesebryz

Supposedly he reached a verbal agreement on a 5/$27.5M deal but it won't be announced until July 1 because of the cap

[Geowhizzer]

When do they announce the new cap?

[PhillyPhreak54]

In Soviet Russia you don't eat legendary phillycheesesteak; legendary phillycheesesteak eat you!

[NGM]

In Soviet Russia you don't eat legendary phillycheesesteak; legendary phillycheesesteak eat you!

  That joke never gets old to me. 

[BigEd76]

When do they announce the new cap?

I think some time next week since the draft is next weekend

I can live with that

Ditto SD.

I'm hearing that there is no way Carter is dealt, because Homer LOVES him and will not let it happen. Who would that leave?

El Capitan?

[PhillyGirl]

nah from what I'm hearing and all, Richards and Carter aren't going anywhere. So I guess maybe Leino doesn't get signed and they deal like a Carle and someone else?

I think they move one of their Dmen, possibly Carle. I wasn't a Carle fan at first but he grew on me. Regardless...he's expendable. With a goalie as good as Bryzgalov (anyone else dreading the day we have to hear Jackson/Coates/the fans calling him 'Brizzy'?) I don't care if I ever see Hartnell/Versteeg/Shelly/Carcillo/Leino in a Flyers uniform ever again. I know some of those players are under contract but they're basically dead weight. Thankfully the cap is expected to raise $3 million this season meaning they don't have to shed as much salary as everyone thinks.

[Rome]

It's a shame the NHL doesn't have an escape clause for teams to rid themselves of zesty contracts.

I know it would be a way to circumvent the salary cap, but it would be nice and allow teams more flexibility in overcoming mistakes.

this is why rick tocchet is the greatest athlete of all time

SD, I am so absolutely excited to have him come here. It's like...a REAL goalie. I mean, this has been the missing piece forever and they're finally doing it.
