Confirmed with Link: Travis Konecny Signs Eight Year Extension ($8.75M AAV w/ Six Years of NMC and 2 Years of M-NTC)

[The Last Red]

It's a fair contract . . . and would be great with a contending team . . . but . . .

 

[Curufinwe]

Maybe the most predictable team in the NHL.

We're gonna be the first team to try to ride a 12RW forward corps to the Cup, aren't we?

TK - 8 x $8.75m
OT - 8 x $6.2m
BB - 2 x $1.5m
TF - ELC
MM - ELC

 

[bleachdrinker]

Good for him but…

 

[Beef Invictus]

About a million higher than market comparables. And 8 years. And doesn't fit the timeline.

Is what it is at this point.

They think their timeline is right now

 

[BiggE]

Idiots

Just think in 3-4 years, they’ll have nearly 23 million tied up in a 2nd line wing a bottom 6 center and a fading 2nd pairing Dman.

The laughingstock of the NHL strikes again.

 

[Danko]

I dont hate it. NTC?

 

[prototypical4thliner]

If we needed any further clarity as to their mindset. Briere “didn’t have a choice”.

Looking at the contract in a vacuum, my guess is the somewhat of an overpay is the stay in Philly tax.

Maybe the most predictable team in the NHL.


TK - 8 x $9m
OT - 8 x $6.2m
BB - 2 x $1.5m
TF - ELC
MM - ELC

And if I'm not mistaken, Hathaway is a natural RW, and I think at least one of Tuomaala and Lycksell are, too.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I've seen some defenses of this phrased as the PP holding his scoring back. That's both a fair point and also a portent of organizational doom if they're acknowledging it in contract negotiations while not doing anything about it.

I dont hate it. NTC?

$8.75M IS an NTC once he hits about 32-33 years old. They don't actually need to formalize it.

 

[trostol]

this and MM coming over so soon just shows the "rebuild(that never was)" is over

wonder if MM didn't come over for another 2 years does this get done or he gets traded

 

[Chinatown88]

Always loved TK since the franchise drafted him. But how does this fit any timeline of developing a good solid young core? Oh wait it's not a rebuild. Always a retool to be average at best.

TK - 8 x $8.75m

BB - 2 x $1.5m

How can it be a retool, when the tools who were already here never left?

 

[FlyerNutter]

Been told all summer was going to happen. We are just wasting time of Michkov’s career at this point.

He’s a decent player, but the health is the concern with the style of play. If his legs go in any way, this becomes problematic.

If the biggest selling point of a contract is - well the cap is going to go up anyway, which you can bet your ass they will spew out there in sync like drones… It’s a shit contract.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

$1m less at 6 years and I'd be totally fine with this.

$8.75m x 8 years for a guy I like but disappears in the playoffs and at the end of the season is a lot, especially given the current roster make up of the team.

… And, we’ve got Cootsy locked up through 2029 (aging well), next step lock up Laughtsy through 2030 Danny!

They’re gonna put Michkov at center, aren’t they

 

[ponder719]

Either this contract or the Tippett contract makes sense. Both together are cap malpractice.

 

[Redpath]

I was interested in keeping TK around, but I think that was more aligned when I thought we'd be walking away from a bottom 10 finish, facing another one, and without Michkov here quite yet.

Not a fan of this. Another strike for Briere.

 

[Danko]

Pretty sure yesterday Danny said on Gargano that they are going to see where they are at at the end of the year in regards to speed up of the "rEbUild"

 

[BiggE]

By 26-27, the Flyers will have roughly 44.2 million tied up in

Fisto
Sanheim
Seeler
Couts
TK
Tippett
Farabee
Hathaway

Oh, and Michkov will starting his 2nd deal which probably won’t be cheap.

Unreal

It ain't right if it ain't right-wing (the position not the the political stance)

When the NHL does away with the cap after next season, we'll be fine.
