Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Another minor league defenseman who made a living in the Dallas affiliate last season. Couldn't hurt to have the reserves on hand, but now it looks like there may be some more lateral movement in the Penguins' system.

nice depth signing
also,
unconfirmed reports that flyers signed zherdev

by Diomedes7 on Jul 7, 2010 3:55 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm guessing they'll stay unconfirmed.

The Flyers have been trying to move wingers, not add them.

Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

sign and trade (a winger)?

by Diomedes7 on Jul 7, 2010 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

According to Zherdev’s KHL team (Atlant) the deal with Philadelphia is complete… I have not heard that on this side of the pond just yet.

Where are the Flyers getting this cap space and why aren’t they addressing their issue in net? Gagne must be on his way out pretty soon.

cause Holmgren is an idiot

i don’t know, but the Flyers board is abuzz w/ this news
they think details will be announced tomorrow

they only have 500k in cap space
and they want to sign Turco as their #1 goalie

they can go 10% over cap until the beg. of the season, so there is no immediate issue
but it is interesting

by Diomedes7 on Jul 7, 2010 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

depends what they sign him for…

by Diomedes7 on Jul 7, 2010 5:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Also, according to ESPN, Evgeni Nabokov signed a 4-year deal in the KHL. Looks like Marty Turco is the only option left for the Flyers.

Toskala is still available …

Shero gets an A. Burkie gets a checkmark.

by PopRocks on Jul 7, 2010 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think they are better off with what they have then with Toskala

by stoopidtom on Jul 7, 2010 4:23 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I know. I just really want them to sign a terrible goaltender. Mediocre doesn’t cut it!

Shero gets an A. Burkie gets a checkmark.

by PopRocks on Jul 7, 2010 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

well they could sign Jose Theodore and Toskala. Then they would be set for next year! (sarcasm)

by stoopidtom on Jul 7, 2010 4:43 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Now you’re getting it!

Shero gets an A. Burkie gets a checkmark.

Is it October yet?

Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.

Sort of a random question ...

Are there any cap constraints in the AHL?

no, I don’t believe so.

We could stack WBS with NHLers and before winning the Calder Cup declare that we’ve arrived!

This is comedy gold.

I like the depth move, and I assume it is just that. With the expectation that some players will move up, and the lack of signing of others, they will need to keep WBS staffed as well. It should be an interesting year. Until then, we can continue to have fun speculating :)

Probably behind Despres… Man oh man I wanna see that prospect camp so bad!

Hard to get excited about another depth signing… Especially after that big FA splash on day 1…

Just want it to be October dammit!
