mojo1917 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Seems like maybe more things are going to be happening. Even if it's nothing- one year where the team is going to be non-competitive with Floaty Johanson on the roster isn't going to kill anyone. If they resign him...Then I'll join the mutiny. The maths of the waivers makes me wonder if something else is happening. Edited March 6 by mojo1917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctid Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Preferred they traded him. But I can live with those terms. 4 yrs is long, but I guess they had to give that extra year to get him under 3mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere, Chuck Fletcher, Junior B assistant coach for the Borneo Headhunters, nods and thinks Well done, great signing. That's how you build a champion.

mojo1917 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I said in the chat that's for a year longer than I'd have preferred. The full no trade clause is for the first 2 years, and he's not a bargain anymore. He's going to be the 7th guy soon, he'll be fine in that role and I don't think his .aav will be crippling. not wild about that 4th year though. In two years that's a tradeable contract. If he continues to be a guy Torts points to as an example for how to compete and be a teammate and if the lessons are learned by the talented youngsters, it might not be the worst thing. Dude wanted to be a Flyer, right or wrong I know that goes a long way with the Danny Jonesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other choice did they have?

It's like the Tortorella plot armor wasn't enough. Could be worse, could be "no movement" Just now, ctid said: Have a bad feeling that they are going to overpay for Chychrun. Yeah, I have a bad feeling that they are playing the "we're closer than we thought!" card. "Retool" - we're definitely a playoff team! Excitement. Ticket sales. Playoffs! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude wanted to be a Flyer, right or wrong I know that goes a long way with the Danny Jonesy. I think you nailed this. I'd prefer "What a great deal" or "genius move " or "this bodes well for the rebuild".... instead, as usual as Flyer fans, we get "longer than I'd have preferred"...."full no trade clause is for the first 2 years, and he's not a bargain anymore"..."7th guy soon".."In two years that's a tradeable contract"..."If he continues (I threw this part in...to play like he did for the contract that he now has, guaranteed) it might not be the worst thing". It's really not a ringing endorsement. Ya gotta admit... this sounds like a Chuck Fletcher/Paul Holmgren/Bob Clarke signing. Minnesota. Check. Too long a term. Check. Over 30. Check. NTC. Check. When you're already gauging how tradeable the guy you just signed is, it's not good. Anyone know how many other teams are paying $7.7 million for 2 -3rd pairing dmen? Anyway, back to the rebuild.
