Then they turn around and throw them an extra pick

So dumb.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Incentive not to match. Essentially a big trade of picks for Broberg and Holloway.

 

[Tripod]

In theory, a team with cap space could have added:

Laine...came with a 2nd
Joseph...came with a 3rd
Broberg....cost a 2nd
Holloway....cost a 3rd

....all for free...except for approx 17 million in cap space.

Meanwhile, the Flyers are paying 21 million to guys this year NOT to play for them in Ellis, Hayes, Peterson, ADA. RYJO.

This league is full of p***yes, just get rid of offer sheets if it offends you that much.

They also got back 1st rd picks in those deals. That is part of the equation.

You can 100% argue Hayes and Tony D were dumb moves to get rid of them.

Don't forget the Bryz buyout still on the books until 26/27. It's not against the cap but they are still paying it!

Addition by subtraction with Hayes and Tony D, got a 5th, 6th, Rizzo and $5M in cap room which they turned around to use to get a 2nd rd pick.

Broberg is the funny one, not sure I'd want that salary, much less give a 2nd for it.

So Hayes and Tony D were mistakes?

Remind me, what is the balance on TDA? Did the Flyers get him for free?

You can't tell me there aren't some Canadians keeping the back channels open on this one.

Seems like paying for a player you later deem "addition by subtraction" is a mistake, but what do I know.

They paid to get rid of the guy he was the supposed replacement for. It's awesome, really. Quite impressive.

Wow, Edm loses two high 1st picks who are big, fast, very good players for almost nothing. Armstrong is a stud. Briere is handcuffed by all the dead weight. Holloway looked explosive in the playoffs, Broberg will be a good addition too. Wish we had a good GM. All our guy is up to is ticking off a powerful agent on a weekly basis, for no apparent reason.

I wasn’t signing Broberg at that number.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Broberg got less total dollars than Seeler. Not apples to apples, but if we’re talking about bets for a rebuilding team…

Wasn’t the biggest fan of Broberg in his draft year but he has tools. This is similar to Kotkaniemi. You know you’re overpaying but it’s a chance to get a young 20 something first rounder in your system and see what happens.

 

[deadhead]

You mean like signing a 25 year old Poehling?

 

[Curufinwe]

I wasn’t signing Broberg at that number.

I think the Blues could have got him for 2x $3.5m

Bryzgalov thanks Flyers, fans in odd statement

“As my family and I move forward to meet the new challenges ahead, I could not leave Philadelphia without publicly thanking Mr. Snider for the faith he showed in me when he committed to the long term contract that has secured my family’s financial future and acknowledging his passion for the game of hockey,”

They needed to make sure the Oilers were completely pinched though
