ESPN dude Pronman had Kase in his top 30 players. Great draft, love taking 3 goalies.

And Gagner makes less than Grossmann since Tampa has retained a portion of his cap hit. Huge cap savings for the summer.

Gagner has one year left at $5 Million, but his cap hit is 3.2.
Piss off.

A couple writers on Twitter say that Gagner may also be a buyout candidate. The hit would be 633K this year and 833K next year if they buy him out, instead of 3.2M this year.

@Eklund: Sounds like the flyers are buying out Gagner

The #flyers retained a portion of Nicklas Grossmann's salary in this trade. Just an all-around cap bender.

EDIT: 500K retained. That's not bad.

I think it's dumb that Pronger still counts as a cap hit.

35 and older contract. If they didn't do that you'd just sign a guy for 30 years to spread out the cap hit.

and who cares about that since they let you exceed the cap during the summer anyway?

Eklund thinks we're going after Byfuglien. umm

Also we have a new goalie coach:

Kim Dillabaugh has accepted the job to replace Jeff Reese, who resigned in March. An announcement from the Flyers is expected this coming week.

He was the Kings’ director of goaltending development.

“He decided to go to the Flyers because he’s got a fair contract and his relationship with Hexy,” Kings general manager Dean Lombardi told CSNPhilly.com. “It was a smart move.”

Lombardi allowed Dillabaugh to speak to several NHL clubs before he chose the Flyers.

Dillabaugh, who the Flyers have been talking to for a while, has a strong working relationship with Flyers general manager Ron Hextall -– six years -- and had been with Los Angeles for eight years.

A former goalie himself, the 37-year-old Dillabaugh played in the WHL with Kelowna and Calgary in the 1990s, then spent 10 years working with the Goaltender Development Institute.

Dillabaugh was goalie coach for Hockey Canada’s National Men’s Under-18 Team (2004 and 2006 Junior World Cup), as well as Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence (POE) Goaltending Camp for four years.

He ate up most of the amount you can go over. You can go over 10%, which this year is about $7 million. Pronger's hit is about $5 million.

Plus, if they're buying out Gagner, that's huge cap savings.
