Randy Miller ‏@RandyJMiller 21s By the way ... I heard Bryz had 4 blowouts last season with Lavy. And I heard players couldn't stand him. Details

Randy Miller ‏@RandyJMiller 2m I phoned Bryz a second time to ask about #flyers buying him out. He said he doesn't want to talk and hung up on me again. Details

Holy f-ing moly!  How does Holmgren still have a job!?!?!?  

Maybe signing him was Snider's doing ?

Randy Miller ‏@RandyJMiller Bryz personally asked me several times if and when I thought the Flyers would fire Lavy wrote:

I really don't know...I'm curious now though.  Who are the players who got massive contracts, then busted out horribly and got bought out?

Yashin was better than Bryz was, so he's out.

I remember some Yotes made some comments about the guy on the way out too... he might be KHL bound all things considered or to some desperate team like Calgary.

No chance Philly takes on a huge contract like that again.  Mike Smith?  Maybe.  Jackets still have to decide what to do with Bob.

Maybe Bobrovsky really cares about the $$$ or has family back home he wants to be close to.  The KHL is also hinting that he'd be the #1 goalie for Russia in Sochi if he accepts.

If the Jackets give him a solid, fair offer I think he will take it, they're the ones who developed him into a Vezina goalie after all.
