What I meant by the Simmonds example is that the Flyers signed him to a long term deal early, expiring at age 30. Unfortunately now, given that there will likely be one or more teams willing to throw something like 7 x 7 at him, the Flyers may be forced to either match knowing the last few years of that contract will be a bust, or let him walk. By going 3 now and then 8 later even though the total cash outlay would likely be a bit higher, Provy would be under contract until age 33 and, if some team wants to throw a ridiculous term at him at that point, it would be a lot easier to wave goodbye than at age 30.
Yes I was thinking the same if it's a good player it's probably best to sign the big one in a few years so you retain him longer. If they do Provy now for 8 that may be it.

Almost 2K posts with a month to go until the preseason. So far so good. Maybe it will bring us some luck. :noidea:

I know Provy is a stud, but this will only be his second contract. Like you say, if we go big now, he will have the option to leave us right after turning 30 and if he's a franchise defenseman, that's too early.

I mean, look what Giroux just did at 30. We don't want him to walk away just yet.

I would go Clarke, Parent, Lindros but instead of Hextall I would swap in Kerr

I love Hextall but I would limit it to one goalie and Parent takes that
I love Giroux, Propp, Barber, and MacLeish but Kerr is a favorite player of mine so I could be a bit biased there
Cant go wrong with Timmy Kerr on the mountain. :nod: :suds:
