really need the Coburn double fist pump gif here

i don't have a problem with it... i'm just not sure what the point of it is.

Johnson? Check.
Hathaway? Check.

Shame Deslauriers isn't eligible for an extension. We could have a hat trick.

 

[Rodu58]

wouldn't he have more trade value if he was on an expiring contract?

 

[freakydallas13]

When you finish as the 21st team in the league, you gotta lock in that core so you can run it back.

 

[Tarpongg]

Seems like a good bridge deal to his lifetime ambassador role

 

[freakydallas13]

WAIT Hathaway is already signed for next season?! Briere HAD to extended him on the first day it was possible to do so?!

 

[Curufinwe]

Johnson? Check.
Hathaway? Check.

Shame Deslauriers isn't eligible for an extension. We could have a hat trick.

In less than a year they can extend Laughtsy

Torts extension next.

 

[GKJ]

We at least don’t have to worry about him being a deadline piece. That’s already taken off the table.

When you have the chance to lock up a 17 point 4th liner for 2.4 million 1 year before he is a UFA, you do it.

 

[TCTC]

Hated him before we signed him, but I've grown to like him. What can I say.

That should be good enough reason to have a problem with it. There is no sense of direction.

Need to try him at PP coach first. Or coach of the PP coach.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Great chance he hates the fans as much as Nate Thompson did by the time this is over.

 

[ponder719]

His trade value is only relevant if they're willing to trade him.

When you have the chance to lock up a 17 point 4th liner for 2.4 million 1 year before he is a UFA, you do it.

You almost got it. A 33 year old 17 point 4th liner for 2.4 millions 1 year before he is a UFA.

 

[mr figgles]

You almost got it. A 33 year old 17 point 4th liner for 2.4 millions 1 year before he is a UFA.

So, he has at least 7 good years anchoring the third line in him!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

One day something will make sense.

 

[Flybynite]

His trade value is only relevant if they're willing to trade him.

and now they gave themselves an excuse to not trade him and say why he's not being traded.

But really, thanks Danny. I've spent many a sleepless night worrying about what might happen to the Flyers 4th line in 2025-2026 with Garnet Hathaway. Knowing that both Hathaway and Deslauriers are locked up for their mid 30s to be 4th liners will finally let me sleep soundly tonight.

 

[JABEE]

Why are they so eager to get these deals done? What is their fascination with paying more for the 4th Line while getting league average production?

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Brutal.

 

[Tarpongg]

Just for kicks, the Stanley cup finalist Oilers and winner Panthers paid their 4th line wingers $775k (3/4 of them) and $1M (Connor Brown)

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

In terms of his contract. I guess it isn't terrible I just don't understand why they would do it (and do it now). I mean I do understand why: they suck. But still.
