I was thinking more along the lines Vanecek (if a 1/2 split) or better for a 1A/1B — Bill Meltzer
Of the rather underwhelming list of UFA goalies, Vanecek would be the one worth bringing to Philly.
For the first time in a long time, this seems like a reasonable extension by the Flyers.
If Foester progresses as expected, he can get paid in another year or two. If he doesn’t, the Flyers are only on the hook for two years.
With that said, there’s still a few bad contracts (in terms of length) that will ultimately hurt this team if and when they finally begin to put it all together.
Outstanding choice. Was listening to the Energy Tapes and Mind Transplant just last night. Would have bet anything against anyone ever posting something by Tommy. — Pags66
The pride of Sioux City, IA. Just one of the many that never really received the recognition he deserved.
Just run it back with what you have. I want a shot at McKenna — Therealbigge
Not going to happen. The hiring of Rick Tocchet screams playoffs or bust. I would expect Briere to be active this offseason, for better or worse.
cant blame tocchet for taking the bag. a lazy underwhelming hire. the GM also doing an underwhelming job.
at this point looking forward to see who they trade for, who they trade out, and free agency. this is the route they are going to take to get back into “contention” – yes its me 2050
With the hiring of Tocchet, I see it as a pretty strong signal this is the direction they’re taking, and will go so far as to say it’s the only way they can go at this point. Problem is, they need too many pieces to get to where they think Tocchet can/will take them.
As usual, they’ve painted themselves into a corner. But hey, it’s a ‘New Era of Orange,’ right?
I, for one, would LOVE to see Giroux come back and finish his career where he spent most of it. Remember when Gagne came back? He wasn’t the same player anymore but he still helped for the short time he was here. Tocchet did, too.
Got no hope for the future when you live in the past.
While Giroux would help, I don’t see where he helps this team get to the playoffs (if that’s the ultimate goal of the signing) and it would be a very short-term solution. And like many others here, I can’t imagine Giroux would entertain the idea of coming back to Philadelphia.
