Next order of business for Homer:

 

[Evergreen]

I'm talking Thomas or Emery; not Leighton or Boucher.

Gotcha

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm happy panda. Now to make me happiest in a while: sign Thomas and get Lundqvist next summer.



Okay this would work to make me vomit rainbow

I'd love to have Lundqvist, but the salary cap has the unfortunate tendency to continue existing. We would need to jettison several key players to fit him. He's a guy you get and build around, not someone you throw in after building a team.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

So wait, 4 years or 5?

 

[Alchemy]

Thats a 5.6 mil cap hit

Well I like 5 years better then.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So wait, 4 years or 5?

Let's call it 4.5 years.

 

[Prongo]

It's five years. Comfirmed all over twitter. Lavoie corrected his tweet.

Dream crushed in 5 secs. How dare you...

Renaud Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS

Good thing that my friend @Real_ESPNLeBrun is watching me. 5 years / 22.5 for Vincent Lecavalier.

 

[CorgisPer60]

5 years. Congrats to you guys, but it doesn't solve your goalie and D problems.

 

[Latrappe]

You guys, need a solid goaltender. Not Lecavalier...

 

[sa cyred]

Ren corrected himself. It's 5 years 4.5 mil each.

 

[Flyers2point0]

^From what I've heard the Blackhawks intend to keep Emery. Not sure how I feel about TT but if we can get him on a short deal for cheap it'll be worth the risk.

 

[Flyotes]

Beef finds the middle road.

 

[19nazzy]

Yeah he fixed it now.

What FA is out there that is an upgrade over Mason?

Mason is a wildcard. If he plays like he did for us last season we will have a great season.

 

[Flyotes]

Getting a player of VL's caliber for 4.5, while Mez is soaking up 4. Perspective.

does the season start tomorrow?

 

[Giroux It]

You guys, need a solid goaltender. Not Lecavalier...

Why so mad?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Was about to post that nazzy, thanks.

4.5M (sadly a full NMC) at 5 years isn't bad... but he's 33 right now...

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Which one of you guys sent the invitations to other teams' fanbases to come and tell us we need other players

 

[Beef Invictus]

Nah, that's not the Flyers way. Our ideal lineup:

Center-Center-Center
Center-Center-Center
Center-Center-Center
Shelley-Center-Shelley

Center-Center
Center-Center
Center-Center

Mason
Center

it is what it is.

 

[Alchemy]

This signing made allot of bitter people on HFboards lol.

 

[Giroux It]

They lost out so they need to tell us how much he sucks and will be a bust because we signed him. We will be sorry he signed on our dotted line instead of <insert team here>

 

[TBIF]

Homer plays NHL like I play EHM.
