Statistics Class and what else the Flyers will do?

Alright, here's your Philadelphia Flyers Salary #'s for 2011-2012.

Cap Space after the first day of free agency : 4.015 Million

That 4.015 million includes Lavs and Schenn on the opening day roster.  Lets be real, they probably wont be.

Schenn nets 3.1 million and Lavs nets 1.2 million.

Without those two on your roster, the Flyers still have 8.3 million to spend....that INCLUDES Jagr and all signings made today.


Everything we're hearing is that the Flyers are not done, and shockingly enough to me, the Flyers are looking for a big name.  Sarah Baicker of CSN REPORTS Flyers are working on a big "trade".  And another credible source Anthony SanFilippo tweeted THIS : I sent a text to a Flyers source asking about guys like Gagne, Madden, Handzus and Langenbrunner. The response: "Think bigger."

When I think trade, I instantly put guys like Pronger or Timmonen on the invisible block.  While It's farfetched, it would free up a lot of space.  There are still 2nd line D-men who are free agents, and who knows who could be returned in a trade for either of those guys.  Mezarsos could play on the front line with one of those guys and I'd be okay with that.

Now those guys wont warrant anything in return, it more so frees up salary.   Kimmo earn 6.4 million a year and Pronger comes in just under 5.  If you add that to what we have available to spend, were talking 13-15 million dollars avalable to sign a quality D man and any player in the world you want (aka Stamkos/Richards).

All speculation....But who the hell saw any of this coming.  I dont think anyone knows the answer, but I still expect this team to bring in another solid offensive name.  They filled roles on special teams that were lost (Tailbot PK, Jagr PP), and still have the ability to spend money.

All in all, I love the moves.  Can't wait for October.
