I just saw some more tweets about Bryzgalov getting 7 years/$50 mil.
Here's an article from a Philly media outlet on it. http://www.csnphilly.com/06/22/11/Re...medium=twitter

I know the cap has gone through the roof, but the Flyers seem to have a roster full of guys making way too much money.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Thanks, Caption Obvious. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

they're going from one extreme to the other. straight up lost their minds

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Your cap number seems like it should be 100 million.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It seems like the owner is overreacting and putting too much pressure on the GM.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ed Snider doesn't overreact. He wants to win.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The quickest way to stop your team from winning is to abandon the plan your GM has in place.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Stepping out of the owner's box and telling your GM to get a goalie and then overpaying him isn't overreacting?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Not when every Flyer's GM (that's been 2 -3 guys) in the last 15-18 years has failed to get "that guy" in goal.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

But does Bryzgalov really deserve 7 million a year at the expense of letting guys walk like Carter and Leino? Especially when Bobrovsky played pretty well last year as a rookie.
If this deal is signed I believe Bryzgalov would have a bigger cap hit than any goalie in the NHL.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I know Thomas played great, but he was out of a job last year.

Who is the last marquee goalie to win a title? It just seems like they league has changed and goalies matter less than ever.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

First of all, it's not a 7 mil deal. Let's just get that out right now.

Is Bryz worth a big contract? Yes. Even at the expense of Carter and Leino.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:confused I'd still say Thomas is a marquee goalie. 2 vezinas in 3 years is pretty impressive.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Marc-Andre Fleury.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Where are you hearing this from? Multiple media outlets are reporting it is.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree, but he was not the "star" goalie in the series.

He kicked ass though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I dont get what you're saying here. You think Luongo is more of a star than Thomas?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Luongo will never win a cup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

lololololololol Flyers.

We'll take Versteeg back for a double cheeseburger from McDonalds.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:ugh:ugh Wait, what?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think Luongo was the bigger name. His performance was looked at as a referendum on the "superstar" goalie.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think after the year Thomas had coupled with his 2008-2009 season he's a bigger name than Luongo as far as goalies go.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's like saying Dirk wasn't a star in the NBA Finals because LeBron was in it too. It makes no sense.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

And Thomas played like crap in the 2009-2010 season because of a hip injury. It was downplayed throughout the season but it obviously effected his play a ton.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's not even the same as that because Thomas had a better regular season than Luongo did too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's just the media spin on things.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'd say it was pretty established among nearly everyone that Thomas was the better goalie going into the series.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well, Philly just cap-fucked themselves.

As if they weren't already...

Didn't work out that great for Chicago last year....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I hope you're joking
