BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 Phoenix. For fun actually. I look at the roster and practically gag. They have 23M in cap space, and did absolutely nothing in free agency. I don't know what their intentions are, but they are in desperate need of so many things. They have no trade bait, and there are no big free agents left except Forsberg, but he wouldn't go there. Their goalie as of now is Tellqvist. They better go exploring some RFAs, because their roster is sickening. I feel sorry for Wayne Gretzky, I really do.

Guest jaytan Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I'd say Chicago, but I'm afraid to because RuutuandHavlatownstrapons would climb through my monitor and kick my ass. So I'll just say it'll be Los Angeles. Phoenix.... I feel sorry for Wayne Gretzky, I really do. I wouldn't. I hear his wife's making tons of dough betting against them.

They have Ballard and Keith on defense and Mueller, Turris, and Hanzal...even Wheeler and Kaigorodov could be something too. And in net, they have a decent up and comer in LeNeveu. Im sure this year their plans are just to let Mueller, Bell, Ballard and Keith get tons of minutes and let Doan work with Mueller so that some of Doan's hardworking attitude rub off on Mueller.

Oh, I know, they have good guys coming up, but with the 23M cap space that they have going on, they could have done alot of things this offseason. Also, with the names you mentioned, I don't know how strong they are to build around when teams like Pittsburgh, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, LA, Boston, Buffalo, etc. all seem to have even better guys on the horizon. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainsubtext 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 side note: Phoenix does have Morris and Jovanovski as trade brait..... They stil need to sign somebody to reach the cap minimum. Moving Jovanovskis huge contract won't help with that (except they trade him for Brad Richards which is not going to happen). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has ESPN done their annual "The Flyers Have a Strong Chance at Going Undefeated this Season" yet? Maybe they'll just run some preseason footage from any of the last 10 summers. aloha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
