Jagr is expressing interest in returning to the Penguins. I'd certainly welcome it.

it's between pens, wings, and an undisclosed team right now. there is only one team that i can think of which likes to deal undisclosed. jagr/elias would be a deadly combo.

apparently pens are only interested if the price is very low, which probably disqualifies them.

Dear god not the Wings. Jagr is the reason I started hating the Pens even though I'm a born and raised yinzer.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #36 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:51:17 AM »

I'll be surprised if Jagr comes back. I don't think anyone's going to pay him enough to lure him out of Russia.

Anyone who does is not going to be happy with the result.

his feet are just not where they need to be.....and it will quickly become evident.

Hell...did you see that one goal of Tyler Seguin's...where he turns on the speed and blows through two defenders......that's the speed Jagr no longer possesses.

Now if Tyler can put it all together and play a little defense......the sky's the limit for him.

Probably. It'd be so nice to see what the Pens could do if they actually had a winger, though.

Tunnel Vision · « **Reply #40 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:19:41 PM »

The wings should NOT sign jagr....the wings need speed and toughness, both of which a 39 year old does not bring.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #41 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:05:14 AM »

rumor is bryzgalov deal is done and he's a flyer for 7M a year.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #42 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:18:28 AM »

Flyers and their goalies..they just can't get it right.
He'll be ok for a while...but if he falters....eek. It's like Vancouver being stuck with Luongo for another 8 years or whatever it is.

On another note.
Ottawa radio held polls to ask listeners what they would give up to get one of the top picks.
Would they trade both the 6th and the 21st? For say...1 or 2?
The 6th and a 2nd rounder? for the Devil's 4th?
The 21st and ALL of the 2nd round picks (three I think)

Im interested to see what happens.

thats way too much. Also, how much does that mean they need to clear cap max?

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #44 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:26:07 AM »

and he's apparently asking for 7 year 50M, so it's over 7M a year. They need to clear at least 5 i think it may be more.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #45 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:12:57 AM »

Jeez. I would not have gone over $20 million for four years.

This is the age of goaltender parity. Great goaltenders come cheap and plentiful. No reason to shell out for a guy giving you what Bryzgalov brings, when you can get a cheaper option, for just nearly as good, and keep the team that's going to win you games.

Nick · « **Reply #46 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:16:16 AM »

I can't see the Flyers going that long on a deal with Bob in waiting.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #47 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:27:46 AM »

I posted this on 5/8:

The Flyers are fucking retarded.

Regular Season
Sergei Bobrovsky and Brian Boucher last year: 46-23-12, 2.52 GAA, 0.915 sv %
Ilya Bryzgalov: 36-20-10, 2.48 GAA, 0.921 sv%
Total goals saved if Bryzgalov was a Flyer: 14 (and that's if he played every game)

Playoffs
Brian Boucher and Sergei Bobrovsky: 4-6, 3.16 GAA, 0.897 sv %
Ilya Bryzgalov: 0-4, 4.36 GAA, 0.879 sv %
Total goals saved if Bryzgalov was a Flyer: -6

Totally worth adding $5 million to your payroll and probably ditching Carter for.

Nick · « **Reply #48 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:41:24 AM »

Well the problem originates with a shitty trade. We should have learned from the Hamhuis deal NOT to trade anything away for the CHANCE at signing a goalie. Now the organization feels they have to sign Bryz, and while he may be a solid 5m a year goalie he sure as hell isn't worth 7mil/7yr.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #49 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:43:32 AM »

Vokoun's a perfect fit. I can't believe they're not going after him. Better, cheaper, for less length.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #50 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:44:15 AM »

Imagine if the Flyers didn't say no the the trade of Jeff Carter for Tim Thomas last year.

Per McKenzie tweet.

TSNBobMcKenzie Bob McKenzie
Hearing CBJ gives Voracek, 1st round pick and 3rd round pick for Carter.

bryz better be worth it.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #53 on:** June 23, 2011, 02:18:13 PM »

also richards is gone to LA, which is great for us since we don't like the douchebag.

Global Laziness · « **Reply #54 on:** June 23, 2011, 02:55:30 PM »

Ridiculous shakeup for Philadelphia, I really want to know what Nick thinks of all of this.

Both in the same day and that huge deal for the goalie. Yowzaa. I've heard of shakeups but.......damn.

millahh · « **Reply #57 on:** June 23, 2011, 04:35:30 PM »

I guess I'm not that surprised by Carter, but I'm stunned about Richards.

Yea, I guess with Carter's contract similar in length and amount to Bryzgalov they had to do it but it's still a shock.

With all this change and the Flyer playing the B's on opening night to raise the flag I wish the NHL matched up the Habs instead.

LOL.......Meanwhile.....in Philladelphia.

oh boy.

I don't like these Gaborik to Ottawa rumors I'm hearing.
We tried that.
It was called a "Havlat" and it was made from glass.
Stay the course Bryan...stay the course.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #60 on:** June 23, 2011, 05:19:02 PM »

Doesn't Gaborik have a NTC?

chknptpie · « **Reply #61 on:** June 23, 2011, 05:30:45 PM »

Bryz's comments about fans in Phoenix in puck daddy article make me glad he is gone. What a dick.

WTF Avs give Liles away for a 2012 2nd rounder.

chknptpie · « **Reply #66 on:** June 24, 2011, 05:03:46 PM »

Most likely will trade Staz away too.

Avs are somewhere like 10mill UNDER the cap minimum. I have no idea what this team is doing.

great defense pick, i'm excited about our next 3 cups.

Is it tough to be excited for something you may not be alive for?

I have sooooooooooo much to say about the Flyers in the last week, and when I'm not about to fall asleep at the keyboard and done with the weekends activities I will post them up, but for now I'd say my feelings are mixed, but slightly negative.

D_Halco · « **Reply #69 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:05:43 AM »

I remember when the Colorado Avalanche used to be good...back when Patrick Roy was around...those were the days.
