In a deal similar to the Stars trading for Gonchar, the Flyers have made a deal with the Islanders for Streit. www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=425295Prospect Shane Harper and a guaranteed 4th rounder this year go the other way. |

Buyouts will be coming in Philadelphia...Bryzgalov and Briere most likely.

Mark Streit would have done well in Montreal as a replacement for Markov. I'm not rumour-mongering, it's just my opinion. I just think Markov re-injured himself somewhere down the stretch. His game steadily deteriorated after the 20-game mark, or so it seemed to me. If nothing else he would have probably provided us with a little more stability until Emelin came back. Don't know who Shane Harper is. A Tory? A Senator hiding from his debts in the AHL? No, Shane Harper is tearing up the ECHL. He and a 4th for Streit. It's cheap. I think Holmgren did well landing a veteran defenceman. Cheers. |

Buyouts will be coming in Philadelphia...Bryzgalov and Briere most likely. ... and maybe Pronger officially retires? Not sure Streit is the solution. The price for him was certainly higher than Gonchar (who went for a conditional 6th). Never know what you might find with a 4th this year. Harper is a body. |

For Pronger I believe that his salary doesn't count towards the cap since he's on the long-time injury list. But regardless, the Flyers will be up to the cap and will have to buy out Brière, Bryzgalov or probably both.

Done deal, Flyers sign him. 4 years, $21 million. A lot of cash for a 35 year old rover.

Yeah, that's my thinking exactly. I like Streit's skating and his offensive vision, but he can be a disaster in his own end. $5.2 Mill a year for a 36 year old? Ok, who thought Holmgren was once a good GM? I wonder if Streit can play goal?
