You Gotta Fight for the Rights to Markkkkk Streiiit-Philly Acquires Rights

Flyers land upcoming UFA defenceman Mark Streit - The Globe and Mail

Yeah, they're gonna be buying some players out.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I hope Streit gets as many years & as much money as possible. Good luck in Philly buddy.

Thanks for the 4th round pick in 2014 Holmgren.

He's gonna get years, that's for sure. Although he's already 35...still, I see him getting a five year deal. Knowing Homer, he'll get 7.

I expect Streit to get a 4 year deal. He already turned down 3 years 15M from the Isles. Holmgren wouldn't have acquired him if he didn't think he could get a deal done. This makes me think Holmgren will make another attempt to acquire Bernier. Bernier made 1.25M this year. Philly will probably look to save some money in goal this time around.

Holmgren needs to be careful with the cap situation though. Buyouts are nice, but having a lot of empty money would be rough for a few years, ESPECIALLY with Giroux's deal coming up next summer. He's up for a hefty raise. Buyout candidates: Bryzgalov, Briere, Pronger.

Those aren't pretty numbers. Having those cap hits in addition to Giroux's salary going up at least $4M? Next year they can manage, but they have to look into moving these guys. But...that's basically impossible.

The Flyers are desparate for defenseman. Streit turned down 3 years 15M from the Isles. Holmgren knows what it will take to sign Streit. If he felt it would be a problem he wouldn't have made the deal. Streit is going to get paid by Philly. If not, he'll sign with somebody else on July 5th.

Amnesty buyouts

Amnesty buyouts

Yeah, someone just reminded me of those. D'oh.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Is it amnesty buyouts or buyout? I thought you were allowed one get out of jail free card, or am I mistaken? I'm probably wrong.

Given two over the course of the next two years. After that it's gone. Supposed to help with cap relief since it's going down. That's why everyone keeps throwing Bryz/Briere for them. I like the concept of the amensty since the caps going down, but dang that's quite the get out of jail free card.

Oh I get it, was just under the impression it was one. I stand corrected.

Teams get two amnesty buyouts over next two summers | ProHockeyTalk

 

[awaz]

most likely another contract to hang on homer's wall of shame.

i'd rather take another stupid contract than trade couturier/schenn or a million 1st round picks for a 'stud' dman though. patience is a virtue the flyers organization does not usually understand.

And since I believe they can't buy out a LTIR player, it is pretty much guaranteed to be Bryz and Briere.

The Defenseman who will likely take Streit's spot on the Isles is Matt Donovan. Donovan was a 4th round pick in 2008. Last year in Bridgeport (AHL) his numbers were 14G 34A 48PTS +14 in 75 Games. Donovan will be entering the final year of his ELC at 875K.:

Still cool with it if it means the flyers aren't trading schenn or couturier. Sad that you have to be happy when something only a little bad happens haha

I wish Streit nothing but the best. I think he would help the Flyers a lot. I just don't think he's worth the contract he wants. Especially considering he's 35 & the multi-year deal he wants will count against the team he signs with cap for the duration of the deal.

Same number of points as Gonchar this season (and four years younger). Andi Petrello on CBC just said he might be looking for as much as 6 shmill per season (Gonch got 5 shmill on a two year deal).
