Say what you want about the Flyers but they always take care of "family."

Good on Seeler for finding a chump to give him this type of deal after what he's earned so far in his career.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Cody Webster]

ROFL. A NTC for a 5/6 defenseman....holy shit. Every update it just gets worse and worse

 

[Starat327]

Four years? Hahaha

 

[Curufinwe]

I can already see the stories from 2027 about how a waived Nick Seeler is using his time on the Phantoms to get ready for his future in coaching.

 

[Cody Webster]

Four years? Hahaha

and a NTC for the first two....it's a Nic D contract all over....absolutely brutal

NTC is stupid, but let's all be honest with ourselves. He wasn't going anywhere in this first two anyway.

Dude blocks shots. He's a Torts wet dream.

 

[Flybynite]

NTC...

 

[FromOyVey2Matvei]

Four years is f***ing nuts for a player like Nick Seeler.

For me, the grade on this contract hinges entirely on how the Seeler-Drysdale pairing looks next year.

If having a stable, solid as a rock defender like Seeler allows Drysdale to start playing like Walker but even better due to Drysdale’s speed/skating, this will be a W.

If Drysdale can’t stay healthy, or just doesn’t discover his offense the way Walker did, it’s probably an L.

4 years! What is Danny smoking. NTC for the 1st two? Woof. Dude will be 31 when new contract kicks in and they will be paying a bottom pair D 2.7M. I bet they could find a younger cheaper just as good (or bad however you wanna look at Seeler. I'll be positive and say good) dman a year into this new deal. Flyers really shooting themselves in the foot with this one

 

[Starat327]

I'm trying to remember... was it seeler who was never going to play, and was just here to sit in the press box, so we had nothing to worry about?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Give me the Nic Deslauries deal!

Perhaps Briere was involved in that like ASF claimed.

 

[wankstifier]

The Deslauriers special

and a NTC for the first two....it's a Nic D contract all over....absolutely brutal

 

[FLYguy3911]

Oh look, DiMarco was completely wrong but hey he threw darts.

Meh he was within a 25% margin for error.

 

[BritainStix]

I'm trying to remember... was it seeler who was never going to play, and was just here to sit in the press box, so we had nothing to worry about?

Nah that was Staal.
And Deslauriers
And Nate f***ing Thompson
And....

You get the point.

Something about a revolving door and not blocking the youth

Alright....

NTC at all at any point in this contract - WHY.
Cap Hit at 2.7m when we are not worried about salary and cap going up finally...good.
4 years - Dumb...but probably why the hit is lower then anticipated.

If you want a veteran d around, this is actually not bad from a salary perspective. If you try to sign a depth D your likely gonna be looking at something between $1.5 and $3 mil.

the 4th year and NTC is really my main issue.

 

[FromOyVey2Matvei]

Giving a journeyman making under 3MM a NMC just sounds so absurd that you have to laugh, but in practice, I can’t see a legitimate case where the Flyers would be looking to move Seeler in years 1 or 2 and/or where other teams would be interested.

If he’s a great pairing for Drysdale, and is providing excess value on his deal, the Flyers will be ecstatic and he’ll be worth more to us than he would be in a trade. If he falls off a cliff, nobody will want 3+ years of an overpaid 3rd pairing defenseman, so having the ability to move him wouldn’t do much.

 

[Danko]

Kevin Hayes finger prints are all over this

 

[Nizzle]

Winning is important but the culture is importanter.

And there's the other shoe for the Walker deal!!!!

 

[GKJ]

Contract was already NTC for the first 2 years.

 

[Amorgus]

Goddamn it I really want to change my vote to F after seeing the f***ing NMC attached. This org is absolutely hopeless and I wish I could go back in time and tell my little kid self to pick another team to follow.
