2013 Philadelphia Flyers Offseason Thread

[Sgt PSN]

Read that his buyout pays him about $1.6mil a year for 14 years.  Does he still get this even if he signs with another team?

[Geowhizzer]

Yep.

[ice grillin you]

when all is said and done he will have made 40 mil for two hideous years in town

[ice grillin you]

also flyers are currently 33/1 to win the cup next year....thats 19th in the league

[Rome]

Nauseating.  The whole thing is an embarrassment but the only thing worse would have been if they hadn't cut his ass. 

[ice grillin you]

i had faith they would and was never really worried......they had to do it

[BigEd76]

Wonder if Homer's plan is to give a huge offer sheet to BOB and blow draft picks too.  Sounds about right for this franchise

[Eagaholic]

So, which will come first for Bryz, Vezina or Cup?

[ice grillin you]

streit officially signed for 4/21

i dont get it....ill never get this franchise

Doubt they'll be able to trade up to get one of the top 3 studs, but I'd love to see them move up for Ristolainen. Started reading articles on this kid when the Flyers were terrible to see who they might be able to get. At the time he was considered a top 10-15 pick, now it looks like he's a top 5-10 pick. I watched some videos on him, he's nasty.

My prediction if they don't trade up is they trade the pick for a Veteran defenseman. Maybe they offload another salary and add a prospect like Laughton for a puck moving D man. They clearly think they have a shot next season otherwise they don't bring a guy like Streit into the mix.

I'm actually fine with giving Mason a shot next season. He's young and I saw enough of him late last season to see he has the skills to be a good NHL goalie.

Supposedly the Flyers are offering Coburn/Read and #11 to move up to Carolina (#5), Calgary (#6) or Edmonton (#7) to guarantee one of the top d-men in tomorrow's draft

[SD]

That would be an awful trade so I fully expect it to go through. They needed to tank last season especially once they were statistically eliminated but instead they won a bunch of meaningless games. Idiots.

[Seabiscuit36]

awful... I hate Holmgren

[Rome]

If you think that's bad you don't even want to know the Edmonton rumor.

[ice grillin you]

i hope the flyers are proud right now about winning six of their last seven games
