Samifan Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 With Gus and Ollie signing, the Flyers have got to be right up against 50 contracts if not over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 2 years, 1.2 million. Base pay is lower, but it's a one way deal, so he'll see more money. Good value for the Flyers.Flyers are at 48 contracts. When Wellwood and Manning sign, they'll hit 50. Not sure when that limit goes into effect, though. Stolarz will slide for sure, Laughton could as well, which would open up two more contract spots.

hf101 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 The deal is said to be 2-way the first year and a one way contract the second year. -- maybe a smart way to manage this years salary cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Good. Glad it happened. But at this point the Flyers have a glut of d-men. These are the d-men who are currently signed.TimonenStreitGrossmannL SchennGusCoburnMezLauridsenBourdonGervaisI think it's safe to eliminate Gervais. But that's still 9 regulars. There're gotta be be more trades on the horizon. I wouldn't be surprised ot see both Mez and Coburn gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Maybe the offseason cap, but reg season cap it'll have no bearing on.Off season or not it won't matter the first year on the Phantoms or Flyers he will get 600K.The 2nd year he'll make more on the Flyers and just 600k on the Phantoms.It's what makes it a one way or two way.

OH1FlyersFan Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised ot see both Mez and Coburn gone.And Bourdon has injury issues. I hope our old guys, Streit and Timo, can hold up. Grossman also has had concussion issues and Mez has been plagued as well by the shoulder injury he just can't shake. But if you see him gone, then that's less of a concern. I like the mix of young and old (or experienced), but the injury bug still concerns me greatly. We have a handful of guys who have a history and could be out in a heartbeat after one bad play. Coburn has at least been healthy. Maybe they should try to hold onto him.......This article if from about this time last year and it plays like a broken record. http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2012/8/7/3225497/andrej-meszaros-injury-defense-flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRH Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Gambling on youth with less injuries or bank on solid Defence from old men with get hurt oftenTimonenStreitGrossmannL SchennGusCoburnMezLauridsenBourdonGervaisYou could drop grossman,coburn,gervais and make a bid for Ryan Whitney. Which would give you 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
