@Irishjim, @all I just don't think the Flyers are as stuck with Bryz as much as they think they are. They are stuck for the next two years, but after that I don't thinks so. For starters, if Breezy has as bad a time next year as he did this year and it looks like he is not the goalie for the following 7 years, I could completely see Bobs given every opportunity to win the starting job in year 3 (particularly if he plays well next year). After Bryz's third year, his salary payment will drop to 4.2M for the final 6 years as almost 50% of his salary will have been paid in the first three years of the contract. I could easily see that if it was clear that the Flyers were shifting to Bobs as their guy in Year three AND Bryz had a bad experience in year two, that he would waive his NMC. I also have a suspicion that his NMC (similar to Richards and Carters), may be null and void if Bryz agrees to a trade. What that would mean is an accepting trade partner would not mind the 5.6m cap hit or 4.2m salary hit knowing they are not locked into him for 6 years.
