DropkickMurphy8 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 DiPietro's career is finally over. He'll never get another contract, too many injuries and I don't think there's a goalie coach in the world who could fix him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 He is going to be given a front office job with the Isles if I had to guess. Ill be honest. I dont hate the guy. I think the injuries were a result of not taking care of his body (there are rumors he abused steroids -- Sean Hill got busted the season before DP had his first major injury) but Im glad he can no longer be a distraction. DiPietro genuinely loves Long Island and the team. He committed to the franchise when nobody else would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseymikea Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wouldn't say his goaltending career is done, I hear "Homer" is looking for a goalie in Philly....Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaCygnus Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I do feel sorry for Rick, having a career ravaged by injuries. It's easy to say "I'd be happy sitting about getting paid that much for doing nothing," but at heart he's a huge Islanders fan and I think he would rather be making his money from playing. Plus he rocked a combo for a bit, Osgood's SK2000+HM30 no less. So, that's always a plus in my books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie WSH puts Jeff Schultz on unconditional ($100) waivers for purposes of buyout. Ditto for NYI and Rick DiPietro. “I wish we didn’t have them,” McPhee said. “I think in a lot of cases teams have done real bad deals or cheated a little bit and shouldn’t be able to get out of them. Because we haven’t done a lot of bad deals here, we haven’t cheated on contracts we haven’t had the back-diving deals. We never did that, didn’t think it was the right way to do business. But other teams did and they’ll get out of it, but that’s life.” F(&^*** idiots. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girouxsalem Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Lecavalier signs with the Flyers 5 years for $22.5M. Can't say I'm not happy, but this signing doesn't really address our main issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecrush8 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Such a bad bad bad contract. Good luck with that one. I wish it was a year shorter, but name another centre who scores at a .75-.85 points/game consistently and makes $4.5 million. The cap hit is excellent.

CJ Matthews Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 It doesn't matter what he makes. All that matters is you still don't have a goalie, and now you have like no money to maneuver without trading someone. Coburn is gone. And goalie options out there still suck.

TMLFAN Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Flyers most pressing need is in goal and on defense. Not sure what Homer is thinking with this one, big risk to sign Lecavs for 5 years. I don't think Vinny's body will last more than 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseymikea Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The Flyers just like the idea of having Hall of Famers on the team...Sittler, Hawerchuck, Oates, Roenick, Coffey, Jagr, Forsberg, and you can argue Amonte and Stevens, just a little late in their careers. It makes that "all time roster" look that much better. Me, I like the Lecavalier move... Not from a competitive standpoint, nor a contractual one, it will just be fun to see him play here in Philly.
