Not a real source without a journalism degree sorry Trav

@MMC I think the source is kinda sketchy

[Zirakzigil]

Seems like a pretty solid cap hit.

 

[SnS]

Haters. Beautiful.

 

[Canovin]

1.375M too much

 

[belair]

That's a tremendous contract.

 

[Three On Zero]

That’s not $10 million

 

[SnS]

1.375M too much

False.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Good deal!

 

[AvroArrow]

Good player but seems like a lot for him

 

[Foppberg]

About a million or so too much but, fair.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

$8.7M? Shouldn’t that be for the guy on the other side of Pennsylvania?

 

[LEIFey]

Wish it was closer to 8mil but at least it isn’t 10mil.

In a vacuum, the contract isn't a bad one for a guy in his prime with a few good years under his belt.

The issue here, as always, is it makes no goddamn sense with the composition of the rest of the roster.
Farabee - Couturier - Konecny
Laughton - Frost - Michkov
Hathaway - Poehling - Tippett
Deslauriers - Cates - Foerster
??? - ??? - Brink

Foerster and Michkov are on ELCs, Brink is on a bridge deal, Konecny and Tippett are locked up until doomsday, and none of them are better on the left. Laughton and Hathaway aren't natural LW, either, Laughton's a center and Hathaway's a RW being pressed into service on the left. What the hell kind of structure are they going for?

 

[Canadienna]

I get that he's a good player, but I would be a little concerned about the length of this deal.

Are the flyers going to be in a position to contend while Konecny is still worth the deal?

 

[Phrasing]

Not cheap, but not out of line either.

No.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Appropriate AAV.

I just don't get what we're doing with our timeline is all.

 

[SI90]

Good deal for both sides. Thats a player you keep on your team.

 

[The Last Red]

I get that he's a good player, but I would be a little concerned about the length of this deal.

Looking at their pipeline and likely draft position the next couple of years, probably not. It's not a real rebuild.

 

[nerevarine]

Seems like a good deal

more than horvat

huh

Horvat signed in flat cap world, Konecny signed out of flat cap world. Horvat's deal was 10.17% of the cap in his first year, Konecny's is 9.95%.
