I'd be willing to give Bryz $5 million and change to vault him into the top ten or even eight goalies in the Nhl salary-wise, but $30-32 million over 5 years would be between $6 and $6.4 million per season and that is just more than we can afford to spend. Besides, there are only a few goalies in the Nhl that make that kind of money and they are younger, more talented goalies (Lundqvist, Ward and Miller).

So, essentially, fuck him if he wants $6 and a half million or more. Homer will not go from not having an elite goalie to having an elite goalie but severely overpaying for him. That doesn't do much for us, if anything at all.

Bryz should be overjoyed to take something in the neighborhood of $5.25 million per and get to play for a team that makes a serious Cup run every other year that they make the playoffs. Sure, he could possibly get $1 million more per season from someone else via free agency, but it's not likely to be as competitive of a team.

Agreed Mav 5 or a little more is about it for any goalie otherwise you have all your eggs in one basket...what if the guy gets hurt then you are screwed! At least Philly will have Bob in the wings learning and possibly one of the top back ups in hockey the goalie position goes from a position of average to right up there in the league that's cool! Get'er done Homer....

Normally I wouldn't pay any attention to stuff like this, but I've seen the comment (rumor?) on numerous non-hockeybuzz-related sites that trading Bob is now an option.

I understand where they're coming from, but still think that would be an incredibly stupid move -- especially after letting Eriksson go. Does anybody else put much stock in this? Or am I getting all worked up over nothing?

IMO -- unless he falls completely on his face next year....Bob isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Yes we're getting Bryz to get a goalie who will win a cup, but IMO he is for a goalie to have while Bob matures. No Bob, no reason

I think it's gonna be rough call because if they do sign Bryz then Bob would be the Second highest paid back-up and we are already facing finacial problems so.....we'll just have to wait and see how this pan's out!

I think the problem would be how long you are willing to overpay Bob to sit behind Ilya and/or how long you would be willing to make Ilya a 5 million dollar backup. It is hard to do both in the cap economy.

I don't think this will be an issue as long as Homer restrains from giving Bryz a NTC, which I'm sure he is after anyway. I'm honestly looking at this contract a a defining point in Homer's career as GM. Until this point he has made some great deals and some bad deals, but he's consistently shown he does not know how to handle the cap in a long term setting.

I for one am not willing to lose JVR next season and knowing this is a contract year for him I'd be looking well past just this seasons cap number and trying to figure out how to keep the most competitive team on the ice possible for the next 4-5 years.

i couldn't agree more.. this off-season homer needs to make moves that will help the future.. because this win-now mentality has the flyers going the way of the pens, hawks, oilers, and so many others if he doesn't look towards the future this summer.. and IMO 1 cup is not worth 5-10 years of basement dwelling

So true, it's not win now or bust. We should be looking to model ourselves after Detroit who is competing every year for the cup. Since 1995 they've won 4 cups and been to the finals 6 times. That is the type of thing I would love to see from the Flyers and we have the core to actually make that happen if the cap is handled correctly and the players we have buy into the system(hopefully keep taking cap friendly deals). But enough with this NTC shit. I mean Richie, Giroux, and to a degree Carter I can understand, but giving everyone who walks through the door one is just ridiculous.
