Flyers are going to be more cautious than the reports are saying.

Also, Briere is getting action on Ristolainen, but would require retaining salary unless they wait for the offseason, and perhaps get more in a trade.

Same as it was.

My heart goes out to ASF.

You’re telling me this man had to report on a Phillies game while also walking his wife through how to stop his plumbing from flooding his house and NOW he has to work while poolside in Turks & Caicos?!?

It looks like the last few trades made by the Flyers where retention of some sort is haunting the Flyers. Briere has to stop this trend now. Teams are looking at the Flyers as a bank to cover their bad contracts.
There is a market emerging for Risto now. Big RHD with some defensive ability right now is in demand (ex-Toronto, Kings and others). So are vet centers on decently priced deals like Laughton. There are several clubs that need help at center ice. Briere needs to be sharp here and take advantage of the opportunity and not get bent over.

What else should he be using cap room for in the short-run?
It's not the NFL where you can roll it over to the next season.
Use it or lose it.

For a bottom dweller of a team? That’s nuts. Sure they nabbed a couple of DCs at the end of the first round but that’s an absurd price to pay for them.

Briere is in no rush to dump Risto.
Given the alternatives at RHD are Johnson, Belpedio, Grans and Sampson.
He can move him at the TDL, or next summer.
No reason to take a lowball offer.

Thanks for fleshing out my point, dead. I'd say that Briere is in the opposite of rushing to deal Ristolainen. There is no intersection of improved to the point of garnering an interesting offer and not an important piece for the Flyers to keep trying to prove that they were right in trading for him for there to be a deal.

Keep in mind Briere has yet to trade someone that he hasn’t felt committed to having to move.

That’s cause they are still in their “player evaluation phase”

Wild that they still don't know what we have here. Our players had zero value when Briere took over. They gained value when they over performed last year. Now they have zero value again.

They're not trading Power. And Byram is basically Drysdale, a high pick who's a disappointment.

A name to think about is Cozens, they might want to move McLeod up to 2C, so a package might land him, Frost, Laughton and a 2nd?

McLeod is not a 2C, he just doesn't have enough offensive prowess, he was tried with Drai for stretches last year. He is a suitable 3C that shouldn't even touch your 2nd PP unit.

Why would you deal Brink

As with anything, that depends on what's on offer. If (and I'm not saying this is on the table) Minnesota likes Brink enough that they'd offer us Rossi for Brink and the least of our #1s this year, I'm handing him a Purple Rain CD and shoving him onto a plane immediately. Flip side, if they like Brink, but only enough to offer us a 3rd, well, they can like him all they want from afar.

Why does someone go in a pool over the ocean when in the islands.

I was kitesurfing in a remote village in Panama recently - on the Pacific side. The waters were infested with stingrays. One buddy was stung and vomited from the pain. Was out of commission for a day and a half.

If I wasn't on a board, I'd be in a pool.

That's why I used league rankings b/c scoring did go up the last few years.

Voracek's contract was higher in terms of % of cap than TK's new deal which starts at the same age. And much higher than Tippett.
Over the 6 years he played under his new contract, Voracek's average rank was 61st.

Given what Tippett is paid, if he's consistently in the top 100 among ES scoring, he's earned his money.

Um, you do understand that pp points and assists count, right?
Jake was a 1RW for many years, Tippett is not. It’s really that simple.
