UPDATE: TSN's Bob McKenzie suggests (logically) that the Philadelphia Flyers can't afford the potential salary-cap hit inherited by acquiring Roberto Luongo or Ryan Miller. However,Evgeni Nabokov could be a decent free-agent option, along with Ray Emery, to replace Bryzgalov. Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer proposes Jose Theodore and Dan Ellisare two other UFAs to consider.

The Philadelphia Flyers, laughing in the face of logic and math, have won the Vincent Lecavalier derby, TSN.ca's Darren Dreger reported.


Lecavalier, 33, was the top free agent on the market after taking a buyout from the Tampa Bay Lightning and picked Philadelphia over many, many teams, including the Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings.


The deal, according to CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio: five years and $22.5 millon, which works out to a $4.5 million salary cap hit.

So because they are over the cap they buy out Briere then they go sign Streit and Lecavalier

Mind boggling , how Holmgren keeps his job .

Flyers have signed Ray Emery.

I know and the flyers fans seem to be happy with the signing.

It didn't work the first time with Emery, i don't see how an older Emery is an improvement. At least it isn't an 8 year/25 mil contract.

PHILADELPHIA — Ron Hextall is back with the Philadelphia Flyers, joining a long list of former players in the front office.

Hextall on Monday was named assistant general manager and director of hockey operations, leaving the Los Angeles Kings. The former goaltender was vice president and assistant general manager in Los Angeles.

NHL.com. Claude Giroux will miss 5-6 weeks after surgery to repair the extensor tendons in his index finger after a golf injury. The injury ocurred when Giroux's swing hit behind the ball and the golf club shattered and splintered into his index finger. Usually, baseball players are the ones to come up with some strange ways to injure themselves.

If they put him on LTIR that means they can have a few weeks to see how the season pans out and then find a way to get under the cap I think.

With there cap space over 2 mill and 25 roster, besides luxury tax, juggling to farm club, injury list, what other problems does this cause temporarily?

Well, Flyers seem to be back to the "don't need an elite tender" mind frame again. Or, they're practicing a little patience, after the bobrovsky fiasco and hoping Mason turns into that elite tender.

I'm sure they're still kicking themselves for letting Bobrovsky get away, must've killed them to see him win the vezina this past season. :lol:

Is head coach Peter Laviolette on the hot seat in Philadelphia?


Dreger - Winning cures all, but the Flyers did not play well in the preseason and it drags back to the postseason where things did not bode well for the Flyers.


There's a sense of fear of impending doom for some around the organization and without question Laviolette is in trouble. Some believe that if things don't turn around for the Flyers organization and they don't start winning at the 10-15 game mark that Laviolette will be replaced. And you could perhaps look higher up the food chain too, where you find general manager Paul Holmgren and Ron Hextall. Craig Berube's name has been thrown around as a potential replacement, so he's clearly in the system.

Read the article this morning, when a team doesn't do well the it falls on the coaches head. Imo the problem with philly is higher up, Laviolette didn't trade bobrovsky, ship out carter and richards and bring in Bryz, that's all on Holmgren and hextall. Laviolette has to make do with the team the GM builds for him.

That's not the way that the GM, and ownership sees it tho. They see it as the coach failing, exactly the same what as BG did.
