The funniest thing about them is the "In Shero we trust" stuff since they are throwing around thoughts like: let's offer sheet Voracek, **** it and do it Shero! First of all, I doubt Voracek would be worth the return they would have to give up in picks and also I highly doubt Voracek would sign their sheet after the circus Pens pulled in this years play offs.

Philly fans; I have been reading Mez is the likely one to be gone, any chance Coburn could be had? Oilers should be interested. Holmgren is an awesome GM, never boring in Philly.
Bill Meltzer was speculating that the Flyers could turn around and trade back for some or all of the draft picks a la Chris Gratton. Meszaros/Voracek/Gustafsson for 2 1sts might be something they're interested in.
Actually, couldn't they just trade Meszaros/Voracek/Gustafsson and the 2 1sts? I know they can arrange trades instead of draft pick compensation

I'm aware of that and we've seen that many times (nobody said Jagr ) but I still believe that it'd have to be some insane (for him, I think more than 5,5?) amount. I was re-watching the series last weekend and can't imagine him being in one locker room with Crosby or Letang. Only Vokoun could make that easier for him
(a) When a Restricted Free Agent receives an offer to sign a
Player Contract from any Club (the "New Club") other than his
Prior Club, which offer the player desires to accept, he shall
give to the Prior Club a completed certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit 6 attached hereto (the "Offer Sheet"), signed
by the Restricted Free Agent and the New Club, which shall
contain the "Principal Terms" (as defined below) as well as all
other terms of Compensation of the New Club's offer. The Prior
Club, within seven (7) days after the date it receives the Offer
Sheet, may exercise or not exercise its Right of First Refusal,
which shall have the legal consequence set forth below. Once an
Offer Sheet for a Restricted Free Agent has been received by the
Prior Club, the Prior Club may not trade its Right of First
Refusal for such Restricted Free Agent.

1.Preds can match and the preds have weber for life if they want
2.The flyers get webber, and nash gets compensation in the form of picks or players in lieu of picks. It's like a sign in trade in the NBA, this way homer trades for weber with a contract already in place, brilliant.
One of my favorite animals.... I've been nicknamed that over 10 years ago - love it.
Let's Go Flyers!
"honey badgers are notorious for their strength, ferocity and toughness. They have been known to savagely and fearlessly attack almost any kind animal when escape is impossible, reportedly even repelling much larger predators such as lions." - much like Homer, king of the land
Out of the blue, Shea Weber for 14 years- part of the Flyers' overall plan which is no plan at all. Should Nashville not match, there go a bunch of first round picks and possible salary cap issues. Let's just stumble on from one year to the next, always competing, it seems, but never really contending.
The Predators would agree not to match Weber's OS while establishing conditions for a separate trade with the Flyers. If the sides cannot agree to a fair deal, they are both free to take their ball and go home and let the OS process ride out.

They can't trade Weber for a year after matching the offer sheet.

Are you sure that bolded part is not intended in regards to trading the Right to another NHL Organization rather than trading the player himself?

I know. Thus, two separate transactions. One allowing Weber's contract to go to the Flyers, the other involving assets to balance out the first transaction.
You've done nothing but make an enemy. If you guys ever have an RFA at any point in the future, Nashville will make him an offer sheet, forcing you guys to pay up, ****ing up your cap and what not.
If i were you guys, i'd be straight up pissed off with Holmgren
Yeah what a dumbass. Who would ever try to sign the best dman in the league who happens to be entering his prime?
