brelic Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Neuvirth's deal is 2 years at $2.5M AAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Howdy: I have no problem with PEB. He works hard and knows his role...the guy has more spunk than any three of his teammates put together. I am unsure about Neuvy....wonder if this is a smokescreen signing to protect Stolarz.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is... could be in preparation for expansion draft. Could be shoring up his team before he makes the moves he wants to make (i.e. Mason or another forward?)

I agree now they have their goalie to expose. I guess Neuvy and Stolie will tandem in Philly next year. Maybe Mase is on the move before 3...

Philly29 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I am not an entire idiot I am sure the stupid Expansion draft for the Vegas Golden Dumbfcks is messing things up a lot but you can't get just a few like 6th or 7th rd picks for these guys so we can at least get something for them before they go UFA? I trust Hexy I really do but at times I wonder if he believes to much into his style. Sometimes doing nothing to much is worse then doing something. Again it isn't like we are cup contenders or doing it so the kids get some experience. Honestly I do like the two signings Neuvy and Bellemare though. I rather keep Neuvy out of the two and Bellemare is a serviceable 4th liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I understand signing Neuvy but why would you give nearly a 1M raise to the worst GAA in the league? This could be really risky knowing that he has a history of being hurt. Better hope Stollie can carry the load b/c this could get ugly next year. Or better hope he gets selected in the expansion.

mojo1917 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 @Philly29 how do 6th and 7th round picks help the NHL team in even the medium to long term ? Maybe the team in Reading has a few more warm bodies. Realistically will those guys, taken 215th in the draft, have a shot to play in the NHL ? If Ron Hextall trades MDZ for a 6th round pick he should be taken out to the parking lot and have the **** kicked out of him and then he should be fired and never allowed near a hockey front office again.

Because in oder to get him signed this early you have to pay more. Remember he could be getting that from Vegas. In fact he could have just waited till after the season. I'm ok with it. If the team in front of him improves i think he will be ok. He impressed me last year in that series versus the Caps. This is also leverage maybe when it comes to dealing with Mase maybe.

Injury prone and he has been terrible this year. Sorry, the guy is not going to play 60 games in a season - he can't stay healthy. Unless there is something else that happens this is another one of Hexy's deal where he creates his own market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2017/3/1/14777286/philadelphia-flyers-nhl-trade-deadline-rumors-michal-neuvirth-contract-extention-thinking-face-emoji Kind of where my mind is at on this one... But the issue at hand now is that re-signing Michal Neuvirth doesn’t get us much closer to answering that question of who the Flyers’ starter will be next year. And unless Neuvirth’s signing a contract that would make it easy for the Flyers to bury him in the minors — in which case, why would the Flyers be so eager to do that now, and why would Neuvirth even sign it? — then they’ve only got one more spot on the roster to try and get that guy, with no obvious path there in mind. All of this proactiveness for a guy who, quite literally, has maybe been the worst semi-regular goalie in the NHL this season. I’d understand if the Flyers waited a bit to see if any prospects or big deals would pan out, and then if neither did, then you go back to Neuvirth in July, bring him back for a year, and have him compete with someone (probably Stolarz), all risks acknowledged. Locking yourself into a multi-year commitment right now, though — especially when you consider that this exact same deal could probably be reached in June, when you’ve got more information on the goalie picture and can still sign Neuvirth for the sake of protecting Stolarz in the expansion draft — seems wholly unnecessary.

AJgoal Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Terrible deals. PEB is a serviceable, forgettable 4th liner. Fine at $712,500. At more than twice that? Ridiculous. Neuvirth has done nothing this season to deserve an almost $1 million raise. Worst statistical goalie in the league this year. Health issues. Coming off a terrible month. And he gets a significant raise? GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
