Bryzgalov tweets an article about himself joining twitter

... TWEETCEPTION.

But as dumb as that was, he may have hinted at a possible deal getting done between him and the Flyers. Naturally, everything he writes is in Russian. So Google translator needed to step in.

"Ждите новостей !! Скоро скоро - Wait for the news! soon, soon"

As exciting as all this is, the possibility for the Flyers to have a top-tier goalie for the first time since Ron Hextall, I can't help but be a little worried. Homer has to be careful not to swoon over the Russian. It could jeopardize the team and make it so they would have to trade a key player like Jeff Carter. With the right deal, Bryz would help this team immensely. it's just a matter of moolah.

"Y u haff tu b meyd?"

Because you're asking for a s*hit-ton of money, dude!

Reportedly, Brizzy sees himself as one of the league's best players, not just goalies and Phoenix traded his rights because they knew they couldn't afford him. If there's any saving grace though, it's that he said he wants to play in Philadelphia. So maybe he'll lower his asking price to be on a better team? Who knows. As long as the Flyers don't have to give up anything of worth (Carter) I'm all of this. But if not Ilya can take his services elsewhere. 

The curious case of Ilya Bryzgalov

Pic unrelated

Earlier today Flyers GM Paul Holmgren traded the teams 3rd round draft choice in 2012, left winger Matt Clackson and another conditional draft pick to the Phoenix Coyotes for the rights to their goalie, Ilya Bryzgalov. Now as awesome as this may sound, the Russian might not come cheap. Word out of the desert is Brizzy is asking for at least 4 years and about $5 million per, which means one or more important players may not return. If Philly gives Ilya the big bucks, the roster could go as such.

BUMP IT!
