2012 Flyers Offseason Thread

KEEPIN IT REAL

[SD]

Can't criticize the best defenseman in the NHL
Can't criticize the contract
Can't criticize the Flyers for making an all out effort

*What contrarian angle can I take?*

tick tick tick tick

I'll attack the NHL.

Every team has to play by the same salary cap, so boo friggen hoo if they can't sign him. Don't be a franchise if you can't work within the confines of the salary cap. Not to mention you praise the Skins for doing the exact same thing.

Need summary. 9 minutes is a hell no.

[SD]

I only got bits and pieces because I'm trying to make the little one dinner but:

Weber wants to be a Flyer bad otherwise he wouldn't have signed the offer sheet.

Doesn't sound like Weber wants to go back to the Preds

If they had re-signed Suter then Weber is probably staying put

Was a bit insulted with the lowball offer the Preds threw at him last offseason

Time to get yukijersey on this bitch.

[ice grillin you]

im definitely not cut from the same cloth as the homers.....or admittedly most other fans...and i apologize for upsetting you guys

this to me is a worse version of cliff lee and roy halladay....acquiring foriegn players who arent philly guys to try and buy a championship....but at least the phils gave up mad prospects....the flyers are taking advantage of a rigged system and its not appealing to me at all

[Rome]

you're a contrarian clown and everyone knows it.

shut up.

Exactly. If the skins pull a move that games the system, the Eagles are idiots for not doing it. If the Pens signed Weber to this offer sheet, Homer would be catching the ire for not doing it first.

IGY, you have to occasionally take a majority opinion to throw off the scent. Although, it's probably too late on this board.

[Rome]

I'll bash Homer for the Bryz move (among others) but this offer sheet is an absolute stroke of genius.  Now, it might end up being a terrible move if Weber gets seriously injured or * concussed * but the offer itself is flat-out brilliant.

From what I heard he was looking for a 3 year 21 million dollar deal, and the preds coudln't do a deal of that magnitude.

nfl is not the nhl...its not the flyers fault its the piece of shtein leagues fault

and unlike homers i dont give opinions based on what i think is the right thing to do or allow biases to enter in...i mean what i say and i say what i mean...its just sad that it upsets you so much because it doesnt fit into your model of what a "real" fan should be like

[Munson]

I don't think IGY understands why he's being critisized.

[SD]

He does he's just being ignorant to the fact. He wrote the book on Contrarianism. Being stubborn is a side effect.
