Problem is he is UFA, so the Flyers would be in a very weak negotiating position. He makes 3.8 a year right now....can't see asking for less than 5 mill a year 4-5 years....he will get that on the open market. That means one of our young studs are traded out before they get a chance to play because of the lack of spots available. Plus, a good chance there is not a ton of drop off from Sanheim to MDZ when you factor in 5 mill against 1 mill a year. Well he's 26, so 4-5 years are his prime. If he gets back to his healthy form and numbers he's worth that, and easily tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never have full range of motion in it again is what he says so let's see how that effects his game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's the $64,000 question: Say the Flyers are a borderline playoff team at the deadline (anywhere from 6th to 10th seed in a closely-grouped field). Given the crop of dmen in the system do you keep MDZ for a (arguably futile) playoff run or do you try to trade him so you get something. Or do you do a "trade the rights" after the season to a team that maybe has a chance of signing him. I like this, but you probably get less than at the deadline. You "MIGHT" get a prospect for him if traded at the deadline. I'm not sure if the prospect will make the big team it might be worth the gamble?!

But I'm not excited about either for MDZ in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree if he plays like he did last season pre-injury. That said, I'd rather re-sign him if the price is decent. He'd be a good vet for the young guys. But if he's not going to re-sign? You almost have to move him at the deadline. No way he pulls in nearly as much if you're trading his rights in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
