(Proposal) Bryzgalov...risky?


Recommended Posts

Just how badly does Philly wanna' lose this contract? As others have stated, he hasn't played so poorly this season, in fact. So...

Flyers get: Luongo, Edler, & Sauve.(they need D)

Canucks get: Bryzgalov, Simmonds, Couturier. (We need fwds)

Give Ballard a chance to step up & fill a worthy role. Our impressive fwd-depth would be worth the risk.

-After this season, Bryz has 7yr/34m left, but 8 mill is next year, then it starts dropping. If he played decent, it may be moveable next summer, 2014.

-Worst case we have a poor playoffs,so also move Schneider in June/July, along with a big contract like Kesler's. With the haul in returning youth, our future would be set.

-Year & a half later we'd have the flaky Russian, but Cannata & Lack, as well. The Cap would be rising & we'd have youth , size & depth going forward.

Flame away-but this is what I'd consider, as an armchair-GM. Peace

Wow, Luongo and Edler alone should get us Simmonds and Couturier (if not more), so why would we trade Sauve for Bryz? That's not a good deal for us in any way shape or form.

Now if we were to move Luongo, Ballard and Booth for Bryz, Couturier, 1st and 2nd I might be interested, and we could see about buying out Bryz for them.

WOW, indeed! If we could truly make the swap you say is possible-by all means, DO IT! Booth will be an amnesty buyout-if we're lucky(think they're underestimating/reporting extent of his injury).

If we could swap them 4, I'd gladly welcome Leighton or Boucher to open the gate for 3 mos.

This IS the best option. Gotta take back a lame contract to get a max-return on Luongo. Imagine...

Twins & Simmonds

Kes, Couturier, Burrows

Schray, Raymond, Hansen

Lappy, Higgins & Kass

Depth-Weise, Pinniz, Sestito

You might eve get Philly's 2014 1st, if we took their headache, Bryz, off their hands.

I keep coming back to this notion. IF we could nab a couple of them fine, Philly fwds; at the same time send them Ballard & Booth in a package, it's a great investment for the team's future.

Gotta feeling MG will package Lu with 1 or 2 more of our bad contracts, but he'll HAVE to take a major albatross back. It would show the fanbase that ownership is willing to invest big coin, to maintain a younger, bigger & competitive team.
