Some Flyers fans suggest that JVR + Carter for Schneider + Ballard instead of signing Bryzgalov to a massive contract and having to deal two of their core players. Schneider not as young as most one-year goalies and even if he plays out of his mind next year, he won't demand $7m a year. Maybe $3m. Instead, they'll be paying Bryzgalov $10m next year, making a 31-year old goalie the highest paid player in the league. That just seems like a bad use of cap space.
That's one heck of a deal for the Canucks.
The Flyers probably could've done better. They got some high picks and a huge potential star in Brayden Schenn but that's potential when Richards and Carter were established stars in the NHL already...and still young.
