Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m Hearing the Flyers are Lecavalier's choice. Working on confirmation.




Really ticked off the Flyers were able to get away from the Bryzgalov deal and turn around and sign this one

[_Q_]

A) How are they Flyers able to afford this?
B) HAHA stupid Flyers. Guess they never learn.

Cap Hell

How are they going make this work. They still need to extend Giroux.

[renny]

how can they afford this??

[dammage79]

Well, they gotta move something. Hopefully the Flames are in on the cap dump deals. Pretty sure they will be.

4.7M cap hit if true, not bad money wise but too long IMO.

[Enoch Root]

Coburn for a 4th - come on Feaster!

[devo22]

and in terms of cap, that works HOW exactly? ...

[kyuss275]

How many centers do they need? Maybe they should think about spending some money on D.

[browna]

$4.7 per year. Not horrible...a year or two too long but likely that factor was the premium for getting this done now, and clinched it for his camp.

I suspect that the Flyers have some deals to do before Friday to get their cap picture in order and compliance.

[mrdonkey]

Good luck signing Giroux, Schenn, and Couturier next year!

[Da_Chief]

So they buyout Briere and add Vinny? why? and I like the Flyers. Why do they do this? who's playing goal next year? Jeez

[Roof-Daddy]

Hopefully we can pick up one of Coburn, Meszaros or Grossman on the cheap.

They are going to have to clean major house if this is true. Heck, they've already leaned major house, but have no compliance buy outs left now.

Never dull being a Flyer fan is it?

[Gundo]

and the East is full of GM's that have the financial skills of a spoiled soccer mom.

[Bertuzzied]

I want Voracek!!!!

[sureLoss]

The Flames were rumored to be in trade talks for Read or Coburn or both at the draft.

Oilers have been in talks with the Flyers for Coburn at the draft

[$ven27]

Trading Meszaros for picks maybe? Never a dull moment in Philly.

Tim Thomas?

Honestly, the Flyers ownership is a slick bunch. They'll have something up their sleeve.

[Vinny01]

Flyers have a lot of players they can send to the flames in a cap dump

Simmonds, Voracek, Schenn, Coburn, and the obvious Giroux

[devo22]

if we can get Read or/and Coburn on the cheap, I won't complain.
