shrader Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well it's official. I was going to head out somewhere tomorrow night, but now I'm gluing myself to the tv for the draft with a beer in hand. It could be a very entertaining day.

This year's draft needs trades because the talent level is severely lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I am just astounded at what the Flyers are doing. Dropping salary for a goalie is one thing, but blowing up the lineup? Richards and Carter are key elements in their success. I've heard that Richards was having problems with management, but I didn't think it went this far. Somehow I don't think they're done...and I thought that WE would be the big movers and shakers tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 TSNBobMcKenzie Bryzgalov contract with PHI is done. 9 years, $51 million. Do they have enough room to go after Brad Richards now to replace Mike Richards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 TSNBobMcKenzie Bryzgalov contract with PHI is done. 9 years, $51 million. Sounds like my Brad Richards idea (10 years, $51 million with 11,11,9,7,5,3,2,1,1,1.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait until the rare moment where someone signs one of those contracts and then turns in Nick Lidstrom, a guy who still thrives in his late 30s and later. Yeah, they will have signed that contract with the intention of buying the player out, but if you had a guy like Lidstrom locked up with a $1 million contract, why would you let him go?

Yeah, they will have signed that contract with the intention of buying the player out, but if you had a guy like Lidstrom locked up with a $1 million contract, why would you let him go? The buyout cap hit during those last few years, not the extras added on, is actually not very low (the payment is, but not the hit), since it basically makes up for the fact that the cap paid was too low for the actual average over the not-bought-out years. You really hope for retirement or plan on demoting/trading the player if he drops off. However, should he be a Lidstrom-type, you are correct, it would be great. Of course, the cap will be $100+ million by then, so $5M might be the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Also, crazy thought -- Florida has to spend some money to reach the cap floor: Offer sheet Stamkos for the max salary allowed. Everyone who became Lightning fans due to Stamkos will just turn into Panthers fans, and his jersey will sell like crazy down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
