Bob McKenzie says the Coyotes get Matt Clackson, a 3rd round pick in 2012 and a conditional pick if Bryzgalov signs.

Bob McKenzie says the Coyotes get Matt Clackson, a 3rd round pick in 2012 and a conditional pick if Bryzgalov signs.

I wonder where they're going to find the space to pay for him.

[Bryguy]

Now all phoenix needs to do is trade us yandle

[hooon]

Hmm. Interesting. Looks like the flyers will be pretty active this off season, as they will need to shed some cap for sure.

[Steve Sample]

Losing Bryzgalov is bad news for the Yotes. The Flyers will look pretty good if they can find the room to sign him.

[Bryguy]

The flyers have to move somebody... Matt Carle to detroit?

[MacK_Attack]

Apparently Bryzgalov wants to be more than just the highest paid goalie. He wants to be among the highest paid players in the league.

The Wings would do well to go after Carle or Coburn. Both would be great additions to the team.

[russianswede919293]

There are more parks in Philly than Phoenix I heard...

No thanks to Carle. Terrible defensively and a turnover machine. Coburn would be nice though, but I doubt he's moving anywhere.

[pucktividi]

Quality move by Flyers if they sign him,but how the hell to make a room for him

[Heroes of Hockeytown]

I wonder where they're going to find the space to pay for him.

I guess they'll have to trade someones(s), and hope the cap goes up a bit. Versteeg, Harntell, Carter on the trading block?

[Never_Retire_Steve]

At least he didn't get traded to Winnipeg

[Finnish Wing]

Carter definitely not, don't think Hartnell either.. Leino is not re-signed and Carle is probably trader plus the cap goes up. Don't think they'll have to do much more. Versteeg may be moved also.

[Datsyerberger]

If they get him, they shed from forward scoring depth and D:

FORWARDS
Ville Leino ($3.000m) / Daniel Briere ($6.500m) / Claude Giroux ($3.750m)
James Van Riemsdyk ($1.654m) / Mike Richards ($5.750m) / Scott Hartnell ($4.200m)
Kris Versteeg ($3.083m) / Jeff Carter ($5.272m) / Andreas Nodl ($1.000m)
Blair Betts ($0.700m) / Ian Laperriere ($1.166m) / Darroll Powe ($0.950m)
Ben Holmstrom ($0.750m) / Jody Shelley ($1.100m) / Daniel Carcillo ($1.075m)

DEFENSEMEN
Matt Carle ($3.437m) / Chris Pronger ($4.921m)
Kimmo Timonen ($6.333m) / Andrej Meszaros ($4.000m)
Braydon Coburn ($3.200m) / Oskars Bartulis ($0.600m)
Nick Boynton ($0.500m) / Danny Syvret ($0.600m)

GOALTENDERS
Ilya Bryzgalov ($6.000m) / Sergei Bobrovsky ($1.750m)

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion)
SALARY CAP: $62,500,000; CAP PAYROLL: $71,294,155; BONUSES: $1,825,000
CAP SPACE (25-man roster): -$8,794,155

Subtract 2 forwards and a d-man. Note that I used some players, like Carcillo and Boynton, as fill-ins for possibly other players making similar money.

Imo, bye-bye Versteeg, Hartnell, Coburn or Carle:

Briere (6.5) - Richards (5.75) - Giroux (3.75)
JVR (1.645) - Carter (5.272) - Leino (3.5?)
? (1.0?) - ? (1.5?) - Nodl (1.0?)
Betts (0.7)- Powe (0.95?) - Laperriere (1.116)
Holmstrom (0.75)

Subtotal = 33.433

Timmonen (6.333) - Pronger (4.921)
Meszaros (4.0) - Coburn or Carle (3.2/3.437)
Syvret (0.6) - Bartulis (0.6)
? (1.0)

Subtotal = 20.654 or 20.891

Bryz (6.0)
Bob (1.75)

Subtotal = 7.75

Bonuses = Neighborhood of 1.8

Total = 63.637 or 63.874

A lot closer to the cap. Cheaper UFAs (the 7th d-man, some of the bottom 6 forwards) possibly moving Bob and using cheaper Leighton as backup all options to get under the cap. Maybe longer, cheaper contract for Bryz (5.5, longer term). Hard to say for sure, but in any case I think it looks like 2 forwards and a d-man are gone. Cap-wise, Hartnell is the best forward option, and I think they'd rather keep Leino over Versteeg if they can re-sign Leino. If they can't, then Versteeg is a cheaper option than my projected 3.5. Coburn or Carle honestly depends on who they can get the value for, or what value they can get from a package. Carle played well with Pronger, did he not?

[zombi]

I thought they wanted a goalie who can perform in the playoffs.

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Mike Richards and Braydon Coburn to Detroit for Jiri Hudler and Jakub Kindl

[pucktividi]

They should have traded Carter to Florida to acquire Vokoun's rights

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! With Hudler's "potential" we are going to get Ovechkin...mark it!

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Obviously Philly can't afford him and if they do I'm fully expecting other moves by them more likey "trades". Bryzgalov wanting somewhere near $6-7 million a season for 3 years. A big LOL.
