[...] isn’t the first time Philadelphia has been proactive in the free agent market. Last season, the Flyers traded for the rights to impending free agent Dan Hamhuis at the NHL Entry Draft in hopes of signing him before he hit the open market a week later. It [...]

im hoping for a trade with LA. Jonathan Quick is a young proven goaltender and the kings are also packing Bernier which makes either one expendable. it has to be either carter,richards,or gagne. also still keep an eye on nabokov. michael leighton has a weakness; every goalie does, but the whole league saw his during the stanley cup and that is dangerous. they have to give talent to get talent and in gm holmgren’s place i would do this: Gagne-Quick it’s beneficial for both teams and sure to go through

If you read the sentence again, you’ll see he says $6 million tied up between two defensemen, with Hamhuis getting around $4 million and Coburn getting around $2 million, which is very reasonable.

Wow…Wow…You are an idiot. You think Coburn is going to make 6 million next year…He made 1.4 next year if he makes 6 million their is only 2 million in the gap. Also why would you say
“According to CapGeek.com, the Flyers currently sit just over $8 million under the $56 million salary cap for next season with 17 players under contract. ”
Why don’t you just say they are under 8 million also there a little above 8 million to be more accurate (In hockey every dollar counts with the cap).
You overestimate how much people get paid in hockey. Chris Pronger makes just below 5 million, are you honestly suggesting that Coburn should get paid more than that? If Coburn makes 6 million hes one of the highest paid player in the flyers organization. Also if that were the case whats your saying their would be no salary room at all and we would not get a new goalie which Holmgren is gunning for right now. Please don’t write articles about hockey if you don’t know what your talking about.

Why would the Kings send Bernier anywhere? He’s the franchise goalie for the next decade or so. He’s already proven himself on every level he’s played. This also makes Quick expendable, especially since the Kings are bringing Bernier up to the NHL next season, with one of the UFA goalies serving as the backup/stop-gap goalie next season

“it’s unlikely” that the Flyers will be keeping Mike Rathje, there’s the understatement of the century!
