Flames will take any of those 3.

I'd only want Coburn, leave Read.

Imagine if they had gotten Weber

I think he's got a shot at being the first guy to get bought out twice before the first contract bought out would have originally expired.

The Flyers have traditionally never been slick about goaltending.

Just got the TSN text.

[Mattman]

Flyers take Vinny and that leaves us with Schenn or Coburn

[taco.vidal]

YOLO might be coming from Ed Snider. Like Ive said in other threads, Snider is 80 and is running out of time to win the Cup. Hence, the bold moves by the Flyers.

This just confirms my belief that the Flyers are interested in everyone, everywhere, all the time. They're the Manhattan Project of the NHL's tabloids.

done deal:

5 years, $4.5 per for Vinny in Philly confirmed.

Coburn to the Flames for Butler and a 4th...


But seriously it isn't a coincidence Lecavalier and Coburn have the exact same cap hit

[Roof-Daddy]

Maybe they'll package up the Schenn brothers and deal them for picks/prospects.

Lecavalier: "I'm tired of playing on an offense-first team with a weak blue line and shaky goaltending. So I am signing with the Flyers."

[dammage79]

And a full NTC. Wow Philly.

I think the Flames should target Voracek or Simmonds. Simmonds' contract length is a big gamble though.
