Streit traded to Philly..? Buyouts?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Bob McKenzie on Twitter is reporting Philly has traded for Mark Streit - NYI. Gave up a 4th round pick in 2014. Likely to sign 2 year deal for 5 mil/per. Over 35 so it all counts.

He suggests compliance buyouts in the works for Bryzgalov and Briere. I would post a link but I dont have the capability at this moment.

I know I might be in the minority, but I'd love to see our hometown team get in on some early UFA action. Before the prices go sky high.

The Wings could potentially trade for someone's rights, but short of that I wouldn't hold my breathe on a FA signing.

The team is trying to re-sign, Brunner, Cleary and Miller and then has a bunch of RFA's to deal with. Without shipping some salary out there isn't really any cap space for any Free Agents.

I too would take briere if he was a good price instead of inking Cleary or Miller. But again I would rather create a roster of scoring lines with a little sand paper on every line i.e Bertuzzi, Toot's, Abby and Helm. Put the Datsyuks, Zetterbergs, Nyquists. Franzens, Brunners, Tatar's & Briere's around those 4 "grittier" guys and f*ck yeah off to the races.

Erm... there is plenty of space.

I should clarify.

I'd take Briere as, shall we say, a "playoffs specialist." I wouldn't expect him to be a core player or anything like that. It's just, if he could be had for dirt cheap, and there's a possibility that he might be able to find that postseason touch of his (has he ever played with a Datsyuk or a Zetterberg?), I think he might be worth it. One of those low-risk, high-reward dealies.

Believe me, I'm fully on-board the we-need-to-get-bigger-stronger-meaner bus.
