Seems like the jersey numbers would be skewed by the Winter Classic.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Any idea where in the rankings my Adam Foote jersey shirt came in?

Pittsburgh and Chicago are the only teams with 4 players in the top 20

So all of you who said Bryz wouldn't get a raise seem to have been wrong. I knew he would I just didn't think it really would have been the Flyers. But I guess after playing 20 goalies they felt the need. The rumored deal is 7 years at about $7mil per. I know the Flyers are a better team in terms of talent than the Coyotes but... I dunno.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That is an awful deal for the Flyers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That isn't the deal, Tim. He was looking for 7/50$ in Phoenix, or on the market. I can assure you that he's not getting 7 mil as a cap hit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Personally, I don't see why the Flyers wouldn't try giving Bobrovsky one more year as the starter. He was pretty solid in his rookie year. Signing Bryzgalov to a long term deal makes Bobrovsky pretty much useless. And if Bob didn't have a good year they could go after a goalie at the deadline or try to sign someone else during the off season.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

According to Kypreos and Friedman it is. At least the average per year. They both heard $7mil. Kypreos was the who said the years.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If it's not Dreger or McKenzie, I'm not sold. The Flyers have been tight lipped about the whole thing too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What's your opinion on the Flyers signing him and what kind of contract do you think he's worth?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'll give my opinion. I think he's worth about what he was making. Around $5mil or so. People can throw him under the bus for the playoffs all they want, he was still their MVP during the regular season. That team didn't have a whole lot of talent. And I think the whole talk of them moving got into everyone's head. Is he worth $7mil? Hell no. Definitely not at 7 years if that were to be true. But do the Flyers do it to get a true #1? They might. It's their biggest problem. I don't think anyone can argue that one.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree they need a #1. But they'll have to shed some salary to sign him and they'll lose a lot of their depth. I just have a hard time understanding making a major move like this when Bobrovsky was pretty good for a large majority of the year last year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree and a smart person would say the same thing. But most GM's are thinking now they aren't thinking future. Honestly I'm not sure how they would even fit him in at $5mil without shedding salary.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ed Snider came down and said I want Bryzgalov. Literally. When the owner of the team says that he's sick and tired of seeing a guy like Tim Thomas come in and win the Stanley Cup and always constantly hearing the goaltender carsouel in Philly--it's time for a move.

Bryz is worth at the most 6 or so mil. Definitely not 7, IMO. The Flyers are making every and all effort to sign him, and it's pretty much a done deal from what I've heard.

One thing I will disagree about is the reasoning that the Flyers are going to lose a lot of depth. If they move a guy like Carter, yeah they're losing quite a few goals, but they're still at least a two scoring line team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree that they still have 2 scoring lines, but this past year they had 3 pretty solid scoring lines. Losing guys lik Carter and Leino is going to hurt.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Looks like Stamkos is staying put;

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Tampa is lucky they're signing him before a team has the chance to throw a ridiculous offer sheet at him and force them to match it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Amazing what a solid owner and a good GM will do. Just look across the state to see the other side of things.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bryz is not worth 7 mil but I am excited to have him in orange and black. I hope they move Carter for picks

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bryz is definitely worth 5 or 6 (tops) but not the 7. But as Matt said: Ed Snider says get a goalie and he's not messing around this time. You better get a top 250 goalie.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm going to punch whoever this "source" is that everyone keeps using for the 7/50$ figure.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

LOL

In seriousness though, yeah your owners says it, it's gonna happen.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If the source is right will you then want to punch the Flyers GM? :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If they pay him 7 per, Carter wont be the only one on his way out. The one thing that will be interesting is how he fits in with the Flyers system. Phoenix kind of insulated him at times with a more defensive system.
