They're on the juice.
Fine, please show me some proof other than they could if they wanted. And I agree ir is ridiculos but until you can show/say something other than above it is an unproven accusation. Tellme who, when, why
Oppurtunity does not automatically mean guilt
Yeah, i'd say that's a tough spot. How do they sign Brodeur and actually try to keep Parise? Does Brodeur sign a cap-friendly one year deal to just hang around ?
I mean, you can't let Brodeur go play somewhere else.
Does Parise actually want to stay there?
That Kovalchuk signing is really gonna make things hard on em.
Should be an interesting offseason, I'm looking forward to see what the Flyers plan on doing ... ugh.
Northjerzyg said:Speaking of Parise, anyone see his comment when asked if he would sign with Rangers, lol. Just goes to show how deep the rivalry goes, and justifies my hatred for the Debbies.
Besides, he should jump at the chance. Doesn't he know they're gonna be champs next year.......
jtkratzer said:Schenn to Philly for JVR.
emjay said:Yep. I think we got the better deal on that one
copyright1997 said:Big discussions in Pittsburgh over the Staal trade. Pittsburgh had offered him a 10 year $60 million contract which he turned down. In an interview today, he said he would have been interested in a shorter term deal, but the 10 years made him think that it would have essentially kept him from ever playing with his brother. He also sort of mentioned the talent in Pittsburgh and his desire to have a bigger test of his abilities. All in all, this trade looks like it helps both teams, and while everyone in Pittsburgh hated to see him go, there is genuine appreciation to him and also happy to see him get a prominent role in Carolina and be united with his brother.
Pittsburgh gets a good defensive center in Brandon Sutter, another high first round pick (which they used to grab another good defensive prospect (pulion), someone else who sounded decent (can't remember right now), and some serious cap relief! Pittsburgh also traded michalak to Phoenix, again providing cap relief.
jtkratzer said:Of the centers Pittsburgh needed to keep, he was the one. He was the one with heart, guts, and discipline in the series against Philly. I was hoping the Pens would do what was best for the team and move Crosby or Malkin. If Staal's primary motivation was playing with his brother, there's not much else you can do. Wonder if Carolina is going to make a move for Marc.
copyright1997 said:I think Shero was genuinely trying to keep him, as well as Crosby and Malkin. 60 million is a lot to turn down. But if in the end they didn't think they would be able to satisfy him (whether it was being the first center or family considerations), they had to deal him now as next year they would have no leverage once he was an unrestricted free agent.

This guy is saying Brodeur may go to Chicago. That would be amazing.
Tootoo goes to Detroit.
He's worthless, except for face punching, there's not even a comparison between him and Tuzzi talent wise. I don't get Samuelsson either. Straight to the crapper they go...
sivdrinks said:Not sure why Jagr would go to Dallas.
jtkratzer said:Saw that earlier today. I'm really happy the Flyers didn't cough up that kind of money for him.
MeatyPortion said:Suter and Parise still undecided. Not surprising as they're the two everyone's talking about. Yeah, Brodeur was brought up too but I think most people expected him to stay in NJ (although there were hopes of a Chicago destination *cough*). I bet it gets dragged out as long as possible so they can fully weigh their options and watch as teams scramble for them.
sivdrinks said:Doubt he needs the money, just wondering if he thinks Dallas is a contender or they were the only ones interested.
The Minnesota Wild landed the top forward and defenseman on the free agent market Wednesday.
Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported defenseman Ryan Suter agreed to terms with the Wild, and minutes later Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com and TSN reported that so too had forward Zach Parise, marking a monumental day in the history of the young franchise.
LeBrun reported both deals are for 13 years and $98 million, which locks them up through the 2024-25 season and would carry a salary cap hit of $7.538 million per campaign.
sivdrinks said:Screw em, now him and Suter can take showers together. Should be an interesting rest of the day with teams scrambling to sign everyone else.
I don't know. I would like to think Philly wanted him back and they have to be seen as more of a contender than Dallas, but I'm sure Philly didn't want that kind of cap hit for a guy that is essentially a mentor.
copyright1997 said:Jagr just wants to do a tour of the non cup winning teams of the NHL before he asks the Penguins to become one for the day (of his retirement). Which they won't grant.
jtkratzer said:And Matt Carle gets $5.5 mil/yr for the next 6 from Tampa Bay.
That seems like overpayment for a guy that does put up some points, but also regularly struggles with the puck in his own end. He was much better with Pronger on the other side of the blue line with him.
