Work blocked NeoGAF. I'm fuckin' livid.
Noooooooooooooo! Bad times...
I won't be ok with any trade unless the value is at least 1 for 1. Bobby is top line forward and I expect as good a return if not more.
That's what Gaf mobile is for

Its the only GAF I'm ever on.
You guys are giving me eye strain.
It's split about 50/50 or 60/40 mobile vs comp gaf serving for me. I read a lot of NHL gaf on my phone, but not much other gaf stuff, it's just so beautiful on an iPhone.

Exactly, if we have to say goodbye to Silver, then we're getting Silver in return. Scary to think we almost got Miller for Hiller and Ryan... Thank you Based Lucic.
Nah, bunch of other sites got blocked as well, like Reddit. I work in IT, so it's easy to be multitasking. Browser on one, remote session in the other.
I guess they saw how much time you were wasting?

Oduya is still there for you guys if you want him.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash are still out there too. They're a package deal though.
It's not too late when the season is going to start a few months late.

unfortunately in the salary cap era it's not that cut and dry

Ken Holland speaking about the free agents out there:
I believe I called this exact thing happening before free agency started. I seriously think Detroit has a good shot at missing the playoffs next year because of this guy.

BOTH for Bobby Ryan!?! No thank you.
Don't even try explaining this line of reasoning with him. It's not worth it.

When you include Pronger's LTIR and B. Schenn's weird cap decrease the Flyers have over 15m in space. WAY better than last year. I expect Voracek to get a multiyear deal now for like 3.5-4m.
That said... Bobby Ryan could be on his way. I'd expect to see homer move Read before he moves Voracek. Voracek is younger and still had more points last year, and I think he got less PP time. I really think they want to get him to shoot more and put him on a line with G. Read was a 25 y.o. rookie and I don't think you're ever gonna get more out of him than you did last year.
Doan will likely get a sizable offer as well.
EDIT: And PLEASE sign another backup. I really don't want to have to boo my own team before the puck even drops, but I will NEVER not boo Michael Leighton when he gets on the ice.
EDIT 2: I'd like Ellis as backup actually. I've always thought he had solid fundamentals. There was a time when I thought he was gonna be a big time starter in the league. I'd feel comfortable with him backing up Bryz. Hannan could be a decent pickup too if he's cheap.

So how much do we think Weber makes this year? Nashville needs to get to the floor. He's gonna get like 8.25. Unreal... He can't make MORE than that on the UFA market next year can he?

Ha ! People still fall for this ? I haven't touched the series since ... wow NHL 94 I think.

LOL
That is absolutely brilliant and the exact reason I don't play this game online.
My most frustrating experience was when I went into a shootout with someone who was actually playing without using glitch goals. The shootout went into the 17th round and was pretty intense. Finally, the guy just gives up and glitch goals me. Infuriating.

I don't think I've spent more time in my life playing a single game than I did playing the NHL franchise. I still play it a lot to this day, as frustrating as it is..

Anaheim is requiring a second line center. Also could use a shut down d-man. Offers stem from there.

Read and a 2nd. Read played a decent amount of center. Go for it Homer!

Bah. We can't give up a defenseman.
Chicago's out. We haven't had one of those in awhile.
Sounds like Brayden Schenn + Luke Schenn would be a good offer for Bobby Ryan.
Can they throw in Sbisa?

Yeah, brooks is saying we couldn't get it done without Stepan. He's worth it, Rangers just can't afford that right now.

Bobby isn't being shopped.
Bahahahahahaha! No.

He specifically said he'd like to be traded to the Flyers and felt like the team had told him they didn't want him there....

You guys got it wrong. He said he was disappointed with the Ducks not signing Parros and he wanted to continue playing with his good friend.

There's another quote too. Not gonna look right now. He said Philly was definitely a place he'd like to play on the first day of the draft.

Bobby Ryan is definitely available for the right price.
