They needed a stop gap middling forward for this season so they spent $5M of cap space next season? Unfortunately, that sounds like something the Flyers would do...

I though maybe we could trade Schultz for a washed up veteran that scores the same amount of goals as Belle and maybe a few picks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an organization that took a guy who had never played center before at any level and discovered he was a "natural center" at the NHL level. They're that good.

I'd assumed he would play LW from the start and Raffl and Weal would just shift down a line or play with the Phantoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly29 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I like the trade for Fillpula. I do not mind his 5 mil per year contract for this remainder of the season. What I can not stand is that his contract goes on for another year. That we can not afford to have so I do not know what Hexy is goin to do later on... Hopefully that 4th round pick turns out to be McDavid type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get just as emotional here all the time. Trust me. I get it. Just not today. Because while I'm not sure I get the deal, I just can't see how it matters.

I'm really asking. What's the acquisition on the horizon of the next 12 months that this will preclude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRH Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The classic "this person disagrees better attack them in every topic" strategy its weird that its always the same 5 people constantly attacking people, didn't you all come here to avoid trolls instead of becoming them yourselves?

I should of been a little more specific because you right. I should of said I am fine with the 5 mil this year because for example, lets say his contract runs out this year and we resign him for less next year because my point is I think he is overpaid for the numbers he has put up the past several seasons and we have been in cap hell for many years trying to get rid of players that had huge contracts that were not living up to them. That is my point I would like to have a few mil under the cap for once so we have a little wiggle room to make moves if we half to. So where not up against the cap ceiling ever year. Not being smart but how don't you know that there will be an acquisition on the horizon of the next 12 months that this will preclude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly29: I posted this on another thread but here's a spin that says Filpulla is effectively on a 20 game tryout with buyout possible: http://www.tsn.ca/flyers-acquire-filppula-from-lightning-1.684783 I am not happy with the 5 million either for a performer on the decline. It is becoming a broken record for this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRH Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Del Zotto, Michael Schultz, Nick Gostisbehere, Shayne Weal, Jordan all Free agents next year, Gostisbehere and Weal are the most likely resigns unless schultz and MDZ agree to overly generous contracts, but allowing them to sign elsewhere and bringing up one of the 3 prospects you've been grooming in the AHL for the past 5 years seems more likely, Hagg, Morin and Sanheim have to be ready sometime this decade. We are currently getting Gostisbehere for extremely cheap and if you don't think his contract is going to double next year then I'm not sure what to tell you. Fippula is 5 million, but he also has more than double the points(most of which is at even strength) that a 4.3 million Couturier has who will continue to beat the cap for that amount until he is 29(2022-23), where at Fipp will be after next years season and also came with some draft picks. Even if they don't buy him out next year, I don't see many players providing a better offensive addition that come for cheaper or at the expense of talent we want to keep. Konecny can produce but he is also easily exposed due to his size which could become a huge problem if not addressed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
