We'll have to agree to disagree, and that's ok.

Any interest for a year or two?

always liked the guy-brings grit
His goals fell off last year though @ 13,whereas he averaged 25 the previous 2 seasons.
At the right price,I would want him back.

No I wouldn't do that, it would be essentially bringing back Schenn because the PP was the only place Hartnell was successful IMO. He had a couple of decent seasons but he wasn't that great otherwise.

I see you're not down on Hartnell-or is it Hartnell Down

Jordan Weal re-signs with Flyers for two years

2 years at 1.75 per.......

Great deal on Weal!!!!

Exactly. Edmonton wanted to get him signed for as long as possible (8 years is the max in the CBA) to lock up the best (or close to it) player in hockey.

The other option would be a bridge type contract, sign him i think it's 2 years, to the last year where he'd be RFA at the end. If the cap goes up ~3 mil per season, as it has been, and he keeps improving, he might ask for the max. Which would be 16 mil / year.

I think this deal makes sense for Edmonton.

I guess if you figure that they'd pay even more down the road maybe you can rationalize it somewhat but they are going way over Kane and Toews. Maybe so much that they won't have any depth especially since Drasaitl needs a deal too. Crazy stuff.

When we had a team built to do some damage this season while our young stars came along nicely im hugely disappointed that another year is going by while being on the fringe or the 8th seed .. Clean house if we are giving up another season or three.

A fringe 8 seed just made it to the cup why can't the Flyers progress quicker than what some are saying? You never know just need a few youngsters to turn the corner which is not impossible by any means. I'm a realist but this isn't titanic either...

Pretty happy about this as he has some upside plus the competition will make them better. Nothing should be handed to anyone.

Flyers Rumors: Philadelphia Will 'Listen' on Claude Giroux Trade Offers

Not buying it but of course why not listen if anything light a fire under his ballsack get him steaming for next season. No one will offer enough value is down let the man redeem himself. Bet he does...

Thought he had a lot of heart but he wasn't a great player, he just seemed to have good ice vision.

This is an awesome signing, was afraid he was going to go to a better offer, glad it's done.

Surprised at Weal.. 2 years 1.75. That's shorter and less money than i expected. We'll take it!

Word is Elliot for 3 years at 2.75 also. That's a perfectly fine contract. Still say it's a step back in net, but shouldn't be a total killer.

Clean house? If we were to trade away G, Voracek and Simmonds, we would be one of the worst teams in the Nhl for a lot more than just three seasons. That and there would be a serious culture of losing instilled on the young players.

At least we're a very competitive team throughout this rebuild. A bounce or two here and there going the other way and we make the playoffs last season. It really was that close.

A lot of bad luck came our way, but that's probably what we get for starting Mac on the top pair. It won't happen again.

Would be a couple of fabulous deals, in my opinion. $4.5 million total for both when it probably was going to be more than that for just Mase alone.

Like they're saying, the amount of competition we're going to have in training camp at every single position is going to be epic.

That would give them about 7 mil space with 11F / 5D / 2G before the youngsters. What cap hell?

Assume Lindblom (.925), Laughton (1.25*), Patrick (.925*), Morin (.863), Myers (.678) and you've got a full roster (14F / 7D / 2G) with 2.4 mil in space still. Plenty to bank over the season and make a big play at a rental with the extra 1st round pick they have next season if they wanted to.

I originally had him for a hit of 1.5 so this is a good deal. He can play 1 LW as he did well there last year. Allows Lindblom to get some AHL time and adjust to the NA rinks.

If we go to the cup this year ill post any Avi you want for the rest of my life.

It's not at all likely, but there's certainly a chance. Provorov is a monster, Ghost is going to rebound, Gudas is a tough customer and a few of our rookies could be really great.

So thats my point exactly why get rid of Schenn for a scrub when we could've done some damage in the playoffs THIS year while our young kids are getting better every day.Instead we are back to middle of the pack team maybe making the playoffs for another three years at the very least.
