Friedman saying JG's agents have reached out to other teams as well including Columbus
Probably to see if they will take on JvR for a 2nd rounder so Johnny can sign in Philly and rot for the next decade.
 
He'd have stayed in CGY if he was even gonna consider someone like CBJ. Its NY or NJ for sure...the other noise is likely them trying to get the price up. If I am any other team I do not even bother because I know thats all it is

Well, the agent is just doing his job. It would have been strange if he didn’t tried to get the best possible deal for his client.
 
Friedman only mentioned Columbus as a team JG may have reached out to just to put feelers out. Doesn’t seem like there’s other teams seriously involved except for us and the Devils.
 
i feel like nothing will happen today lol

I feel if nothing happens today that may be bad for the Isles. Chances are Lou is gonna match and that is gonna be all. If he matches and he does not auto sign right then and there it means he went to NJ and asked for more which then tells you that is where he is ending up. I feel if he ends up here its happening in the next 90 minutes or not at all

You heard it here, the clock strikes midnight at 6:10pm!
 
Lmao it’s their job to involve other teams

I understand he's driving up the price...but f*** him. Lou should put a time limit on offer. If not, go and sign Palet or someone else. What's going to happen is either Philly will clear cap and he'll sign there or NJ will up their offer and what happens AGAIN we get screwed with no one and all the other top FAs are gone.

Perhaps. We will see. I feel like he wants to much but that is just me most likely

Lets say Philly is involved. Do theyt need to clear Cap before hand. i thought it just needed to be done before puck drop ?

That's correct, but if they can't move the salary out now because they don't want to pay the price, then why would the cost to move salary out when they absolutely have to be any less?

Philadelphia is a premier place to play. I'm guessing he'd be happy to play there. It's different than a place like, say, Colombus or Buffalo.
As a general proposition I agree, but the front office of the Flyers just seems to be a tire fire. He'd go in there knowing they'd probably stink for at least another year or two and probably wouldn't have confidence that they'd be able to fix it beyond that (short of cleaning house at the top).
