2 mil is just cash, right?.

I would imagine he would have a check cut for him rather than straight cash.

I'm not expecting much of a return. I'd be happy if someone just took the contract. If the Flyers have to eat some cash (rather than salary cap space), I'd go for that.

I just want him gone.

Snider should trade him to the panthers at the draft and buy up 2 mill worth of season tickets, to circumvent the system.

Buffalo bought out Ehrhoff

Wish the flyers had a few more buyouts

[Jordan629]

I just really wish they had the cap room for Ehrhoff. D-men like him don't shake loose too often.

[e-five]

nope. had to sign the whole Islanders D corps.

[Jordan629]

I don't know about this offseason. I just really want Grossmann and Lecavalier traded at some point. They really got to clear some cap space.

[FLiP]

Considering they are over the cap right now and they still need a goalie and to fill 3 other roster spots, yes.

[Jordan629]

And Flyers beats all just keep saying no one wants Lecavalier. Florida apparently wants no part of him, Nashville wanted him but not at his cap hit for 4 seasons.


What a mess.

Renaud Lavoie: The Avs and Paul Stastny couldn’t get a deal done last night, he hit the open market today.

[e-five]

I'd almost be tempted to package a future first rounder to anyone willing to take all of lecavalier and grossmann's salaries and cap hits. I don't think I'd be averse to offloading any of the defense corps to be honest. they aren't winning the Cup next year and if you can get out of any of those contracts (Streit, Coburn, MacDonald, etc.), I think you do it. Team has to get leaner on the cap side and their defense is way too expensive compared to the production you get from them. If the strength of the prospect pool is in the defense then it's time to cut some fat from the big club.
