Confirmed with Link: Flyers To Buyout Remainder Of Cam Atkinson's Contract

[blackjackmulligan]

Lets be honest too... most likely if Jake did not get multiple concussions after leaving Flyers?

He would probably still be a 50-60 point 2nd liner...

One of the few things Chuck did right was trading Jake. So odd a plyer of his caliber could only get a player like Cam back. Wonder why Jake's value was so low?

Flyers all-time team buy-out, salary retention and pay to get rid of is fantastic.

LeClair-Giroux-Amonte
Umberger-Briere-Atkinson
Raffl-Lecavalier-Hayes
Brassard-Stevenson

Provorov-Gostisbehere
Meszaros-Gudas
Gustafsson-Schenn
Grossmann

Bryzgalov
Mrazek

Now, ofc joking on some of them... salary retention is not always a negative. In fact it can be smart.

i find it kind of funny for some reason that our GM was bought out himself lol

Adios, Cambo with the Lambo.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the Flyers have the fewest PPGs in the NHL since that trade. A paltry 96, while the 31st best team has 114. I guess taking Jake off PP1 wasn't enough to fix it.

Well I think you have to make any and all final subtractions now, before Michkov arrives so that you can use that as your new starting point with a good locker room. In theory anyway. The money down the road won't matter as much since you should have a bunch of entry level deals going. So I think it's a good move now.

They also need to trade anyone they don't want now and then start a proper build around Michkov.

Will they do that? Who the f knows.

I guess all of us who pointed out so clearly that tradinf Voracek for additional Betterfitkinson term were right on the money huh. Another Fletcher special. The gift that keeps on giving

 

[GKJ]

Don’t kid yourselves too much. Voracek wanted a change as well.

The "negativity" is actually well-reasoned analysis. That makes it positive.

 

[BritainStix]

Disparaging a player for exercising their rights is so delusional.

If you waive your NTC to accept a trade, that NMC shouldn't follow you to the next team. It's a joke that it does IMO.

Doesn't mean Chuck should have traded him for a similarly aged / declining player with an extra year on his contract.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Not a fan. This team's cap space is continually sunk year after year

 

[Magua]

I wouldn't waive my NTC either to move across the entire country for 1 (final) year to play for one of the worst teams, while having 3 young children ages 1-5.

 

[volnoir]

My galaxy braining this buyout is it's part of the trade with Columbus to get the 4OA. CBJ can now sign Cam at league min to play out his final year as a Blue Jacket, instead of having to take on 50% of his contract.

I'd criticize your reasoning but you didn't provide any.

It was Covid. The league was dollar-in, dollar-out at that time.

 

[MrMajestyk]

Just happy to be rid of the unholy combination of these

They just added roughly $3 million in space, and a roster spot, for 24-25 though.

That's kind of the natural outcome of having Fletcher as your GM. It will take years for your cap situation to fully recover. Ask the Wild!

 

[BritainStix]

I'd criticize your reasoning but you didn't provide any.

Because i think you should waive your right to have a no movement clause, if you accept a move to another team. NMC should be decided on a team basis, financial terms and contract length are rightly protected as part of the CBA guarantee, but the clause shouldn't be.

To be honest, NMC clauses shouldn't exist when contracts are guaranteed personally. If you sign a long term deal and don't perform or hold your end of the bargain, there's no recourse.

Which I guess is hypocritical of me, because I couldn't care less about the owners.

Don't care about this year

Don't care about this year

The playoff push starts now
