I don’t see that happening. A buyout after next season hits us for 2 years, and we’ve got the IBX bro talking about cap clearing up next year.

Jeff Skinner will be a Flyer on Monday. Book it.

Barely enough cap space even with the Atkinson buyout to do anything other than resign Zamula and Johnson lawl

You know, I was advocating for Hayes to be bought out and not traded (unless it was worth it), we only got a 6th round pick, the RTS slot is taken up, and now the Penguins got an extra 2nd round pick
The way that was handled was a mistake. Not a fireable offense, but not a proper use, and the 6th was used today in a draft the Flyers obviously hated. When you do the good vs. bad of Briere, it is on the bad side.

Friedman says Trouba is shocked at the Rags wanting to move him and his agent Overhardt won’t make it easy on them as they try to move him.

I'm on my work week so I slept through rounds 2-7 today. I just saw the Pens just took on our friend Keven Hayes. They got a second round pick for their troubles.
The Flyers? They retained 50% and got a 6th.
That's the difference. Every single year. For a decade.

Dubas is a horrible GM, but if he buys out Hayes next year he gets a gold star from me.

I'm assuming you are a penguins fan. You have no idea what a horrible GM is. And don't say Hextall. He might not be great, but he isn't horrible.
Look across the state if you want to see horrible GMs embarrass themselves with every single transaction, talent evaluation, or meritless personnel hire.

I dunno. I like what Briere has done.
I'm a Penguins fan, but my dad is a Flyers fan. I follow them and don't really dislike them unless I'm ribbing him.

Briere has cleared the bar that Fletcher set. You can still be horrible while clearing that bar. That's exactly what Briere has done. If I was a fan of another team within the division, I'd also like what Briere has done. Of course, I'd like what Fletcher did even more.
I don't mind the pens myself. The Flyers have no rivals because they've been so irrelevant for so long. Their biggest and only rival is Bob Clarke and his cronies

Pretty wild Carolina got a third round pick when it was pretty openly put out there in the media Guentzel was going to Tampa Bay as soon as free agency starts.

Everyone saw this coming as soon as that deal was signed.

Brannstrom not getting a QO is surprising. Sounds like we should really try to get him.
Yup, players will keep going to him because he fights for them but just until teams stop dealing with him. Seems to be more and more prevalent lately.
