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 All ELCs are two-way deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if McPhee takes a guy who has 21 goals in the past two seasons and a $3.625M cap hit (although they do have to meet a cap threshhold, so anything's possible). Any way, it would be addition by subtraction in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overpaid guy who is scheduled to make more than his cap hit each of the next three years? I don't know that Comcast could afford that. They only have $5.07B cash on hand.

Any way, it would be addition by subtraction in my book. Maybe McPhee will take a look at him. Read could resurrect his career in Vegas. Doubtful at 30, but not out of the realms of possibilities. Also, LV really only has to take him for one season at that contract and then could either part ways or negotiate a lower figure. Barring better options at forward, he may be worth a look. Also, I feel like he's been jettisoned through the line-up and gets garbage minutes. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but maybe with better minutes and more stable line mates, he could be worth the one year cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can see that he's lost a step, I'll wager that NHL General Managers can see that, too. Not saying McPhee won't just that I think Neuvirth is far more likely (assuming he gets exposed, which is still TBA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Maybe the plan is to move a current center on the team in the offseason...just saying...who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that a very true statement. Just wishful thinking on my part. Or that McPhee starts boozing heavily between now and the expansion draft.

It may be the only way he ever doesn't play for the Flyers in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contract stinks for that role, but it's only one year. I'd even bring him back afterwards (with a significant pay cut) assuming he doesn't lose more steps. I wonder what it would cost to have McPhee pick MacDonald. I'm sure the answer is "too much," but it's a conversation that needs to happen if it hasn't already.

Sure, but there are cheaper 4th line options. I think it really depends on which goalie the Flyers expose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
