I still would have paid it. And would have hoped Michkov would understand. I would have waited and made a run at Anthony Stolarz. Panthers have always kinds of cap issues and could afford to offer him very much. Being a Jersey kid and an X-Flyer I feel they would've had an edge in signing him. Well that dream has sailed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 @OccamsRazor It's not outrageous to think Stolarz will be better for the same money. He could. Who knows what the Flyers player will do. He could totally **** the bed or he could become Russian Tim Thomas, or something in the middle. With 2 first round draft picks in 2025 the 2024/25 season seems like a logical time to try the great unknown out. If it goes poorly the team gets a higher draft pick with their native pick. The contract is for two years, if Fedotov stinks It's over before cap space is an issue. I don't think this signing signals buffoonery on the part of the GM.

mojo1917 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 @radoran I wonder why Charlie keeps saying what he is then? He wrote an article about the situation on his discord and recorded a second pod saying the exact thing again. odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where O'Connor is getting his information... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But coulda shoulda woulda they have it covered. At this point they need to hope the money was well invested. Who knows Ivan could come in with a whole offseason to work and train in Philly and be lights out a steal. Or they let him finish out his contract and the year Michkov comes over bring Bob the Prodigal son back to lead the to the Cup and 37-39 whatever age he would be then...he only has 2 more left on his deal he signed with the Jackets.

GratefulFlyers Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 7 hours ago, mojo1917 said: Fedotov was going to make the equivalent of 3 million a year playing in Russia. He wasn't going to leave for less than that. It's pretty simple actually. He wasn't promised anything. He wasn't coming over for less than 3m a year. Thanks. Ok so he would've earned $3mil in Russia next year. So Briere decides that means he's worth $3.25mil to the Flyers...not sure I follow the logic on that one but whatever. Ultimately it's not that big a deal. Briere was able to underpay Ersson so the Flyers now have cheap goaltending for the next 2 years. Good enough.
