djmelbatoast Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 That Free Agent Frenzy show on TSN was pathetic. Nothing happened. Did they really think that everyone would be signed right away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 No, I don't think they expected all the signings to happen at 12:01pm. The show was better than watching bowling reruns or some fishing show. That being said... Briere to Philli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 The Flyers are making some great moves today... looks like they want a winner back in Philly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Leafs might get Blake.If they do my expectations will be thoroughly surpassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 The Flyers are making some great moves today... looks like they want a winner back in Philly...I'm loving all the moves the Flyers are making too, they're making it hard to hate them! Pitkanen for Lupul is an interesting trade - both talented young guys that haven't lived up to expectations yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 ya but dont forget about Jason Smith in that deal DaveO... they are getting some great leadership and a solid defenceman taboot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yes! Leafs land Jason Blake... very excited about giving Sundin a winger... finally.Big moves for the Rangers getting Gomez and Drury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Gomez AND Drury?HOLY FACK!Yeah, Philly has been on a tear with moves since before the deadline. They are certainly going to be a much different team next season but that is alot of money for Briere. My lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Of all the UFA's I think Briere is worth it... hes young , fast, a leader and puts up the numbers... they pieces are defintely starting to fall into place with Philly... started at the trade deadline I'd say picking up Biron who was waisting away with Buffalo...

Booche Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Of all the UFA's I think Briere is worth itI dont believe that. He's going to be, what, 38 when this contract ends? Small dudes that are fast lose it quickly when they lose it.I dunno. Whatever. Rumours were rampant that MTL were going to sign him to a 7 year, 50 million price tag and I didnt like it at all.

Booche Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Holy crap. My neighbour just told me he heard Briere being interviewed and that MTL offered him more money than the Flyers. That is insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Gomez AND Drury?HOLY FACK!I haven't looked at the numbers yet, but how the heck does NYR afford Jagr, Gomez and Drury all under the cap?And how the heck do all three of Briere, Drury and Gomez end up in the Atlantic division?!

Booche Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 There is noooooooooooo way they had/have that much room as far as I can guess. Some numbers are going to have to come off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoolady Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I cannot believe Buffalo wasn't able to keep either of those two!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I haven't looked at the numbers yet, but how the heck does NYR afford Jagr, Gomez and Drury all under the cap?They'll probably let Nylander go. That doesn't explain all of it, but it must help towards the cap somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Nylander is gone for sure. UFA. He was gone previous to these signings.That was always Step # 1 for the NYI department.Rahmer is right. This is going to be an interesting scenario kids.I cannot believe Buffalo wasn't able to keep either of those two!!! The Sabres never stood a chance with those two. Trust me. I am a Habs fan.

Guest Low Roller Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Wow. So someone finally broke the $10M per year mark... amazing. Way to raise the bar Philly! So once again Plan A (Briere) and Plan B (Gomez) have slipped through Gainey's fingers. [color:purple]Plan C: Yashin!Souray is still unsigned... Maybe he didn't get the money he was expecting?

PassedOutGuy Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Who broke 10 mil per year?I like Pittsburgh's additions as well.. Petr Sykora and Daryl Sydor...that team is gonna be a force to come once they realize Fleury is not gonna take em through in net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Briere's contract pays him $10M cash money on the first year of his eight year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
