40#1Fan 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 http://www.csnphilly.com/pages/landing_09?...&feedID=695 Randy Jones won’t be going back on the Flyers’ roster. The defenseman was claimed Thursday morning by the Los Angeles Kings on re-entry waivers. That means Jones’ $2.75 million cap hit will be split between the Flyers and Kings, who must pay the $15,000 waiver claim price as well In other words, the Flyers just took a $1.375 million cap hit for a player they lost on re-entry. Financially, it was a huge gamble and the Flyers lost. “He would have helped our team but that’s the risk you take,†general manager Paul Holmgren said. “What are you going to do? … Those are the rules. We knew the risks going in.†Holmgren said a couple clubs asked about him recently, but no one asked the Flyers to put him on re-entry so he could be claimed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 nice grab by LA, especially for that price tag and for how many kids they have that they can send down and/or bring up without them having to go through waivers... Jones will finish the year on LA's roster and at a nice cap hit at that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjlegend 155 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 He'll score 38 points and get traded to the Avalanche in the off-season. "Let's Go Flyers" posters will declare Jones the best defenceman they had after Pronger, and much better than that lazy and useless bum (insert Flyers #7 defenceman here). And no one will be dancing the Charleston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xBrave_Heartx 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 Randy Jones is a turn over machine. The Flyers didn't want for him to stay around, They've wanted him gone for along time, That price tag just scared teams away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
