Confirmed with Link: Flyers Re-Sign Nick Seeler To Two Year Deal ($775K) (One-Way/Two-Way)

[Larry44]

In all seriousness:

1. The contract shouldn't matter. It can be buried.
2. It almost certainly will matter because...hockey
3. Hockey Guys rushing to sign a depth defenseman like this to a two year deal is just peak for the sport. That's rhetorical. It's because he fights and is "tough to play against". The second year is going to be annoying from a 50 contract limit standpoint (see: Patrick Brown and every AHLer Fletcher gave two year deals to).

At this point, there really is no point in being surprised by how frigging stupid Fletcher is.

 

[Flyer lurker]

So injuries are chuck's big excuse and they had to play marginal nhl players and yet he just cant help but resign Seeler and soon ZMac, those fill in players that couldn't get the job done?

At least no more minus 47.

We aren't resigning minus 47?

right?

Minus 47 will have a big season in the men's league.

 

[captainpaxil]

The two years makes him pretty waiver proof which means they do value him as depth.
Also the second year being two ways says to me they don't think anyone will beat him out this year but next year is more likely. Ie zamula is a year away

 

[BernieParent]

Can nobody see that Seeler fills the essential role of initiating a fight after the Flyers go down 4-0? MacEwen can't do this all on his own ... as a member of the 2022-23 Flyers.

 

[HAL 1000]

Let the 22-23 tank commence. Any decent coach that decides to come here would either have to be suffering from long term amnesia or owe the mob serious coin.

Chuck is a train wreck and unfortunately we’re the passengers.

Agreed, I think we've finally found our partner in the first pairing for Provy!

Provy-Seeler
Sanheim-LimpRisto
Yandle-Connauton

Would've preferred to lock him up long term but it's a solid bridge deal

 

[Bruckuss]

Sometimes I wish I was born in Minnesota, so I could be eligible for 3/4 of a million based on my beer league D efforts.

Yandle player coach extension, make it happen. Let's go all in.

It was a really small sample, but Sanheim-Seeler outperformed Sanheim-Risto.

Sanheim w/Seeler: 92:33, 56.44 CF%, GF 66.67%

But Sanheim HAS to play with Risto. IT. IS. WRITTEN.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

I remember last summer when we were assured Seeler wouldn't matter at all. As the 7D he wouldn't play, and he wouldn't block youth.

He played 43 games and blocked youth.

But after that he learned to fight from Zack "the authentic" McEwen!!! He upped his usefulness by 100% if not more!
He will be a flyer for chucky life and we all know it!

 

[flyerslducks]

This is some sick f***ing joke. Thompson for sure coming back too

 

[Flyer lurker]

What the general manager managed to secure:
Nick Seeler
Rasmus Ristolainen for several years

What the general manager did not manage to secure since DEC:
full time (read: not interim) head coach

Not just Nate Seeler and Risto

BUT SEELER FOR 2 YEARS AND RISTO FOR FIVE. BTW the contract of Risto is backloaded so there is no shot Flyers trading without adding until 2026. 2026. TAKE THAT IN. 2026. Last year Risto at 4m actual cash might be able to moved.

Hopefully Ginning will enjoy 4 years on the Phantoms.

@deadhead

Still getting talking point from the team?

 

[GapToothedWonder]

At least no more minus 47.

We aren't resigning minus 47?

right?

Is this a Handy Yandy reference or an Andy Mac reference?

That number is going to give me PTSD.

If you speak this into existence, I will speak you out of it. Don't you DARE put that evil on me.

 

[scumpup]

Chuck is playing 52 pickup while everyone else is playing chess

If we could get him to connect 4 we'd be a dynasty

It's not really backloaded. It's mid-loaded.

chuck fletcher is lazy. ive said it before, when you have so many holes, no coach, no direction, why areyou wasting any time on a player like seeler? its not like hes being coveted. and i know people are going to say its no big deal, he will be in the minors, bullshit.

 

[Fotiu29]

I actually don't mind this deal. Just means that the Flyers are going to be tanking another season and I can ignore them during the 22-23 ordeal.

fair enough but ive had my limit of stupid

Only one player last year was special enough to put up minus 47.

And I would take snow angels 47(amac) over minus 47 apple turnover (yandle).
