with that Ristolainen extension , i feel bad for you guys. This will be painful next years.

To make it worse, his contract is going to force the Flyers to jettison Provorov or Sanheim.

 

[Gecklund]

This needs to somehow be a sticky so that everyone who says anything about the Flyers is confronted with reading this.

I laugh how other fan bases make comments about the Flyers as if the Flyers operate on a rational basis.

Typical intelligent non-Flyers fan comment: "Surely the Flyers are rebuilding because that team is trash with no future." Right, that makes sense, but the Flyers operate on Bizarro world.

It’s okay Sharks fans know your pain too

No it isn't.

 

[Pantokrator]

No it isn't.

How will they be able to keep all three of these defenseman along with the 9 million they will pay to Kadri or Gaudreau?

 

[FlyguyOX]

Best case ellis retires and we can punt him into the sun

 

[Curufinwe]

They certainly can't afford to lose either of Sanheim or Provorov with Ellis and Risto being injury prone.

No player worth $9m will want to sign here.

Kadri isn't worth 9m but that's what Fletcher will give him.

Likewise Hayes, Ristolainen, Thompson, Yandle, etc.

Last 2 got minimum pay. Risto accepted lower pay. Hayes overpaid by 2 mil. Salaries least of Philly problems especially once JVR is off the hook.
not many teams do not carry 1-2 overpaid players.

Risto is not injury prone. He never was injured while in Buffalo.

Everyone of those players was overpaid by Fletcher.

Whether he accepted lower pay than what he believed he should get, Risto got overpaid for what he’s worth. In both trade and contract.

Thompson and Yandle got minimum because they’re bad vet players and shouldn’t have been signed in the first place. So any NHL money is an overpay.

Hayes got overpaid in both money and years, the latter of which you seem to forget is half a contracts worth.

They were all overpaid, they were all overpaid by Fletcher.

Right, but since Kadri is not worth 9 million, he will jump at the chance to play for any team that is willing to overpay by that much, and for at least 5 years. Remember, The Flyers are only one or two players away from competing, according to management.

Kadri is certainly playing like a $9m guy this year.
