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

[Danko]

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

Fisto
Sanheim
Seeler
Couts
TK
Tippett
Farabee
Hathaway

Unreal

Seriously doubt at least 4 of those guys are here by then, and also cap likely to be increased.

To be fair though, why would you actually DO a rebuild, when you also have the option to TALK about a rebuild (while being mired in mediocrity for another decade)??

Yeah, they’ll have to move some people when they overspend in free agency in 2025 & 26.

Worst run franchise in the NHL.

I mean... at least come out and say we arent rebuilding anymore. Be more truthful than everything you are currently doing.

To be fair though, Danny is literally doing the complete opposite of everything he is saying. Says you always go BPA during the draft to draft position need instead (and admit it).

Saying it's a rebuild while continuously signing and extending the current roster.

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

Unreal

Summer of 26 is when they think they’re going forward, which is now a year out from Michkov’s second contract. Which if he’s even close to what people are hoping, that’s $11m

Technically speaking, I believe Fletcher is to blame for this extension if it goes poorly. Hextall was blamed for the players that Fletcher extended so just following that line of thinking.

He had no other choice. This isn't Xbox.

Briere still has yet to trade any players he doesn’t think he’s had to move. Walker was the closest, and if Walker willing to do the deal he got, it would’ve been signed here.

 

[trostol]

it of course for the most part is loved over on reddit

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Should have waited until tomorrow to announce it. Then again, they look at this like a win. Hope TK ends up miserable after all the losing that is in the future.

 

[Schwarbomb]

No surprise here. They don't have the stomach for any other option.

 

[Sombastate]

Man, Briere has to be one of the 5 worst GMs in the league

 

[BiggE]

The quicker you all understand that the Flyers ownership doesn’t care all that much about winning and that the men at the top of the hockey ops department are woefully unqualified, the sooner the healing can begin.

This team is destined to flounder in mediocrity for the next decade and probably beyond. I’ll hang out here cause I like a lot of you degenerates and I dig spending time in the Quackverse, but when it comes to the Flyers, it’s time to stop giving a shit.

Hello to Elba

edit - wait that was another guy with the Xbox

When's the last player the Flyers willingly let walk away?

The Flyers are an organization of the path of least resistance. It doesn’t matter if it’s Hextall, Fletcher, or Briere at this point. They all continually headed down that road considerably more times than not.

It’s really all it comes down to. They just don’t have the balls for a real rebuild, and never will with the same Flyer family very much present.

It's times like this I like to remind myself that one of the organization's mantras is "Safe Is Death."

It comforts me.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

#best rebuild ever..

just keep everyone..

It comforts me.

This organization gets heart palpitations over the thought of trading an aging bad depth player at this point in Scott Laughton. So from that standpoint it’s not surprising everything else is pretty much nailed to the floor also.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

They think their timeline is right now

"our 3 year rebuild officaly concluded tonite with this contract"

ladies n gentleman your cup contenting 24/25 Flyers..

same as the old Flyers..

 

[deadhead]

Cap is going up $4-5M a year now that the escrow is paid off.
2025, $93M cap is 9.4% ($7.9M last season) the first year of his new deal.
So by 2028, $106M cap would be 8.25%.

A bit of an overpay, but looking at 5x5, he's 47th in 5x5 pp/60 over the last three seasons, so he has a strong track record - and he did that without a 1C (and you can argue without even a 2C).

This suggests to me they're not interested in the FA route and would rather build from within - extend the players they know at 26-28 rather than overpay for a FA they don't know at 29-30.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I've banged the drum for TK to get paid. Honestly believed the Flyers would pay him more.

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.

I can only hope that a different and more competent management group will be running this team when this contract potentially becomes a problem.

I'm happy he's sticking around.

we are the redwings but with no cups

Does booting Giroux out the door count?

Thinking they will be competitive is even funnier. Though their version differs from mine.
