ilovewinona Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ilya Bryzgalov is going to Sweden next week to practice with SHL team Färjestad during the summer. Apparently he's heard of their goalie coach (Erik Granqvist) and called him to ask if it was possible for him to join the team for practice.

elvis15 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Report: Bryzgalov to begin training with Swedish league team Sounds like Ilya Bryzgalov is on his way to Sweden. On Tuesday, a report surfaced from local news outlet Aftonbladet claiming the ex-Flyers goalie will soon begin practicing with Swedish Hockey League team Farjestad. Farjestad goalie coach Erik Granqvist — known as one of the top goalie gurus in Europe – confirmed the move, tweeting that Bryzgalov was being brought aboard at the request of player agent Ritch Winter. Bryzgalov, 33, was bought out by the Flyers in June with seven years remaining on his nine-year, $51 million deal signed in 2011. While it sounds unlikely that Farjestad will offer Bryzgalov a new deal — GM Hakan Loob said the team already had “two good goalies” in ex-Calgary netminder Danny Taylor and former Atlanta draftee Fredrik Pettersson Wentzel — the move to Sweden could suggest that Bryz is getting a head start on his training in the hopes of landing something soon. Last week, a report surfaced out of Russia that expansion KHL club Admiral Vladivostok had interest in Bryzgalov, though the club never made any formal overtures or contract offers.

elvis15 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well, since they aren't signing him to play, I'd definitely think he'd have to ask to go train with them. Makes sense, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Light Racicot Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Its a given that you have some inept GMs in the NHL, but no one is incompetent enough to sign this guy. While he is not as crass as Sean Avery, his reputation as being a selfish team killer is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah, Bryzy is the Rodney Dangerfield of 'tenders..he should do a standup-routine with Rodney's lines; in his unfortunate, Andy Kaufmanesque styled-delivery. They'd love him in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_pwnzor Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 No way he'll sign in Sweden, he'll want much more money than any SEL team can offer. He's going to the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
