Kind of like getting a free 3rd round pick or something. Before anyone gets too excited though, I read an article a few days ago saying that the best FA signing out of college over the last decade was Tyler Bozak. Bozaks not a bad player, but if he's the best signing in a decade.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike has doubled up all his numbers. It's a free pick me likey no matter how it pans out it cost nada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 They beat out the Wings, Bolts and Rangers for him. Nice job i say. We'll see how it goes. Some added depth behind Laughton on the Phantoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers will retain his rights as an RFA. I'd imagine he'll be sent to Lehigh Valley for their playoffs if *cough* the Flyers don't *cough* make the playoffs *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as of right now small or not the Flyers are alive still. Bruins get 4 more points between now and the end of the season and it is over though...but till then...

murraycraven Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I like his leadership experience but I am not going to gaga over ANOTHER 3rd line center. Provides depth but he is a 3rd liner in the NHL... nothing more IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesesteak Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 HOLY CRAP! Is he really getting paid $925,000 to play just 5 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it is by game ($11,280.49/game) or by day of the season (not sure exactly how many that is...) The $925K does become the base for his RFA qualifier which I believe would then be $971.25K (5% increase). I can't find* if he's on a two-way deal or not. * haven't looked very hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
