Diddle, can you imagine?

Why on earth would the Flyers do that? I know they need cap room, but Wiercioch is not their type of player at all, and neither is Butler.

I really think Butler has potential to be a very good player. I really want to see what he can do in a Sens jersey.

If this was 1-2 years down the road, different story.

I thought Jamie Benn had the record?

Overpayment IMO. He's got a long contract and isn't exactly a perennial mvp candidate. That contract length alone brings his value down significantly. do ppl honestly forget how little we got for dan¥ heatley?

Huh? Maybe I'm confusing records. Was it the Flyers farm club that had the consecutive road victories streak?

I thought you were talking about the most goals scored in the AHL playoffs. Butler had 13, someone had 14 - I think it was Jamie Benn. We must have crossed wires there.

EDIT: Hell no:

Most Goals Scored, One Playoff - 26
Bill McDougall, Cape Breton - 1993

Must be the rookie goal scoring. Can't find the stats on that.

Ya, Joy said that he was approaching the rookie record.

The easiest player to move would be Kris Versteeg, earning a fraction over $3 million with only one year left on his contract. If I were Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, the first team I would turn to for moving salaries would be the Florida Panthers. That franchise still has to spend almost $30 million just to get to floor of the salary cap. The Panthers need help front, plus GM Dale Tallon had Versteeg in Chicago. The other player who could be moved easier than Carter would be defenseman Matt Carle, who also has one year left on his contract at about $3.4 million.

It would be logical to conclude that the signing of Bryzgalov would mean that Michael Leighton ($1.5 million) gets buried in the minors. It seems unlikely he could be traded.
