(Great post idea bro....I'll get er all "sticky" and slap er up!)

 

[soulxflare]

Just stating the obvious here -- what it boils down to is that, barring they don't move anybody, they have 10.8M to sign 2 Forwards, 3 Defensemen and a goaltender.

ty.. and now i feel important

 

[scottflyers88]

if only another person posted this yesterday? o wait, scroll down a little. just kidding.

you can take cote and his salary off the cap. we all know that is going to happen.

 

[awaz]

haha i know you posted the cap number for the signed guys.. i just figured we'd have everyone's number up there so we could see who was overpaid, do calculations with who's getting traded in everyones scenarios, etc.

and regardless i still beat you too it, that top post was copied from the first post on the flyers board (go me.).. and i posted it on the espn board right after the cup ended

Who is the better defensman Hamhius or Mezzaros?

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Ham

 

[anderwho2513]

Defensively, Hamhuis. Offensively, Meszaros by a mile. Hammer is a better hitter, but Meszaros can throw his weight around too. Both have their strong points and their weaknesses. The Flyers clearly want to build their team with puckmovers, so Meszaros is probably a better fit.

 

[lasgop8]

Thanks guys i was wondering because they both seemed they would cost us 4 million per for either one so i just got to think which was the better sign

 

[anderwho2513]

There's an interesting dynamic building. Coburn's 2 year deal expires at the same time as Carle's deal. I'd imagine, with JvR needing a raise that year, and Giroux's new deal starting next year, that only one will be re-signed. At that point, do they go with the better option, or the cheaper option? Too far to tell now.

 

[Vadered]

Signed Jody Shelley for 1.1 mil cap hit. We're outta space (.9 mil)and not enough players (well, bare minimum, 12 F 6D) - they're something else coming, I'd think, unless we think our AHLers can step up if need be or my cap number is off.

this is why it is so tough to be a gm. all of us like to say, get this guy or this guy. it is not just about this year though. it is about what happens down the road. hopefully the cap keep increasing.

 

[Maverick426h]

I expect a trade, I really do. That is not enough cap space to work with. One of Carter/Gagne/Hartnell will be moved, Boucher will be traded or bought out and then we'll acquire a starting goalie.

 

[anderwho2513]

Without Cote, Bartulis, and maybe even subbing Backlund in for Boucher, it's got to be a more workable cap situation.

 

[scottflyers88]

i will wait for everything to die down before i try to run the numbers.
