Hand pic or it didn't happen.


This is my EASHL character name so I am pretty pumped tbh.

Eat your heart out, @Magua

You get it’s almost meaningless right at 900k cap hit. Please tell me you do.

900k less to use on a backup; an actual need. How ideal.

It's meaningless in the terms of numbers. Where it is not meaningless is that we've seen this story multiple times before. We can see the future conversations of "oh, he's just here for veteran mcveteranness he won't play. York will play over him" when we know that isn't going to be the case whatsoever.

Veteran McVeteranness over everything.

When is okay for Cam York to play for the Flyers?

Meanwhile the guy Fletcher passed up for him was having a big impact in the Stanley Cup Finals already.

JUST f***ING PLAY CAM YORK.

If he stumbles, play ZAMULA.

If he stumbles too, then you see what is out there.

Why did they even re-sign Morin? To be the 9th dman? They were in perfectly fine shape without having to bring in a veteran road block for Hayes to pal around with.

Problem is Yandle should be fighting with Braun, but just won’t happen with AV

Don't worry, were trading Sanheim to Carolina for Berniers rights now that they signed Raanta.

If only any of this was true

 

[CutOnDime97]

Maybe Biz and Whit will lace em up for us also. The Kevin Hayes entourage

Maybe if this was 2017

 

[The Madrigal]

900k? Why the hell not?

He’s friends with the team. This is another move to reform the locker room. It must have been a disaster.

I'm not a big fan of Yandle but he's an upgrade over their last 3rd pairing/PP specialist at they got him at a fraction of the cost. As you said they obviously felt they desperately needed to change the culture of the team.

Because we it isn’t 900k , it’s the diff between 900 k and whichever replacement.

Delaying York (and Zamulas) ascension to NHL regular is not meaningless. It wasnt meaningless when they did it Frost, Sanheim, and others before them. It just means in 22-23, when he'll have even less games under his belt than he should. We've been down this road so many times. At one point we had Nick Schultz playing over prospects that were NHL ready. It never ends.

 

[snoop88]

York will have this guy in the press box by midseason anyway

100% agree. It’s the York factor that is awful, people crying over 900k and the NTC have no ground imo.

That's not how the salary cap works

We now have 900k less to use on real needs.

Where did I say that part is meaningless ???

The 900k and NTC is close to meaningless. But they were always adding a vet D, we all knew that.

 

[Hurricane28]

Don’t think this is too big a deal in the grand scheme of things. If they like York as much as they’ve said this could be a good insurance policy if he shows growing pains.

they could do a lot worse for a 6/7 defenseman and I would feel a lot more comfortable with Yandle as the next man up rather than Morin. Besides, all 6 defensemen we had slotted into the lineup are all not going to stay healthy.

Organizational depth is not a bad thing

 

[youthoftoday]

They were never going start the season both York and Zamula on the team at the same time. They needed another vet as the 7th. I still think it is York's job to lose. We'll be fine.

 

[Rebels57]

Yandle is a LHD and I think we know by now what that lush AV prefers in his D pairings.

That’s a fair thing to want, but Keith Yandle for 900k shouldn’t be a reason those players don’t get their shot. If he stinks bury him.

You can argue that won’t happen, which I probably agree with, but I’ll save my rage for then.

 

[bennysflyers16]

That's not how the salary cap works

Tell me how it works ? If York makes 875 k and Yandle makes 900 k. What’s the diff ?

 

[Rebels57]

Gotta bring in that washed up soon-to-be 35 year old to play in front of their top 2 D prospects.

JUST GOTTA DO IT.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It was very nice knowing most of you.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

100% agree. It’s the York factor that is awful, people crying over 900k and the NTC have no ground imo.

I don't really think there's anyone necessarily in here complaining about the $900k itself. The NTC just seems semi ridiculous for a guy making that kind of money and just seems weird so people mock it.

I think that at least most people here see the writing on the wall and it's that combination that is making people upset and noisy.

 

[Cody Webster]

Not only that, but they signed Morin yesterday too. How many D is that now? 8? 9? Guess it's back to LW for Morin
