Giroux?

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.

Look on the bright side. Maybe some of them will be able to go on LTIR.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Thinking he would want to come here is laughable. I don’t hate the TK deal, it’s pretty much what I thought he would get in the end.

Michkov is going to be a guy people will think twice about when making these moves.

But it doesn't even matter because we keep acting incompetent.

 

[Appleyard]

People talk "new FO"...

but tbh 2/3 of the main guys involved in salary negotiations are Flahr (here since 2018) and Hanrahan (here since 1997)...

 

[Boocowski]

Same people who are saying Michkov needs players to play with claiming Flyers overpaying TK. Okay, enjoy the hating.

Tbf they play the same position so likely only ice together on the PP.

Thing is...is thus team really a TK away from being one of thr teams...they aren't

Appleyard covered it already, but yeah - they shouldn't be playing together if this team plans on being built on logic.

Never forget, Briere worked under Fletcher, Jones has been here forever, and Hilferty is a Bullies fanboy. Nothing has or will change any time soon.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Hard to find players like Konecny, and they're valuable. Good to lock him up.

 

[Tripod]

If our PP was just normal, his pts would go up 5-10 so whatever.

At least he is likable.

Crazy rebuild. 2 RW's signed for 8 years each with Michkov.

What an era.

 

[Cody Webster]

$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.

Disappears in the playoffs? You mean the two times they've made the playoffs during his career? A first round exit his second season with the team and a fake playoff run. Quite the statement there

 

[Juicy Pop]

better hope we don't hit COVID 2...

It's an unfortunate contract. I like TK and I wouldn't have minded re-signing him if they had just another year to roll on a draft class.

 

[Michoulicious]

Rebuilds...

Gives a FULL NMC to a 27 y old RW for 6 years...

Crazy rebuild. 2 RW's signed for 8 years each with Michkov.

What an era.

If our centers were normal, he'd have scored even more than 2.27 pp60 at 5x5.
I mean Frost is the best center he's had the last three years and he's a marginal 2C.
Meanwhile, Guentzel played with Crosby the last three years.

If they would value a path to get better centers

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I mean you pay for the talent not the depth players. But then again, if you are going to pay Konecny market value you may as well trade him and sign someone else. But I dont believe flyers would get a good value for Kony nor I think they would sign someone whose actually good instead of another Hayes or not butcher any futures they get from the trade. So if we take into account what they are capable of thats actually solid deal.

Crazy rebuild. 2 RW's signed for 8 years each with Michkov.

What an era.

I think both Foerster and Tippett played as much on the left side as the right side.
And Michkov is a LH shot playing RW.

I think a trade for a center is a good possibility, Farabee, Tippett, Cates, Foerster, Michkov, TK, Brink, 7 forwards and 6 top 9 slots, while Laughton is really a LW playing center. So Laughton and a draft pick for a center is my prediction.

 

[volnoir]

TK (28) 8/$8.4 in 2024 cap - (pp/60) (2.27)

TK's cap hit is 8.75 not 8.4.

 

[freakydallas13]

I don't hate it. They were never tearing this dilapidated building down to the bones, so I'm fine with putting money into something of actual value.

Nevermind tearing the building down, they can't even give this dilapidated hovel a fresh coat of paint. That's too risky, and besides, they like the taste of the old lead based paint chips that occasionally flake off.

are they of the line of thinking..just get into the playoffs and then anything can happen?

Assuming there is thinking happening is generous.

 

[Curufinwe]

What random extra money? The cap has been rising. That's what players like him are worth these days.

He got more than a winger who scored 67 goals

They also have two young RWs breaking in with Foerster and Brink. I get that some of them can play the opposite side, but it's still a very weird way to (re)build a roster.

Wish that guy would go and seek life elsewhere.

 

[deadhead]

TK's cap hit is 8.75 not 8.4.

His extension doesn't go into effect until 2025, so I pro-rated his salary in terms of % of cap to compare with FA salaries in 2024 (first offseason with a rising cap in 4 years?).

 

[freakydallas13]

So like, can there be any way to read this signing other than "we think our current team plus current prospects will be enough to win a cup"?

Brink has TK+OT+MM ahead of him on the depth chart for a decade, so I guess he's gone at the end of his next contract after he spends the next 2 seasons fighting for 4th line minutes with Hathaway.

The long term planning for this franchise is atrocious.

I don't think they think they are there..but I think they feel they are super close with MM coming over early

Still doesn't change the fact that he will be paid $8.75M per season and his cap hit will be $8.75M.
