Confirmed with Link: June 2016: Flyers Sign Radko Gudas To Multi-Year Extension

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kind of glad Homer didn't trade Coburn in 2013 to Edmonton. I doubt we would have landed the value we received later in Gudas & Konecny.

 

[flyersfan018]

Better than all except Despres who has been injury prone.

 

[Tripod]

There 2 of them that HATE the Flyers in all threads, is it still from the Randy Jones hit ??

Waiting for the NJ fan to chime in....Swantas I believe...or something like that.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

very happy that radko is signed. one of my favorite flyers. think its a solid deal too.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

nice....

 

[Danko]

Not a terrible contract. He got better as the year went on.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

He deserved it

 

[Striiker]

Not harsh enough.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Not harsh enough.

I was nice about it, true.

The message after me was hilarious, where a guy simply just wrote "square up" to timmeh

 

[Stizzle]

Another great signing by Hextall. Very sensible on term and money for a good RHD in his prime years.

 

[BillDineen]

Cutting into 3 years of UFA is similar to paying:

1.7
3.9
3.9
3.9

I guess that is ok. Not great.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Pretty much a market value deal for a guy like Gudas. Paid like a 4th D-man. Performed at about that level or slightly above with the balanced negativity of anticipated suspensions over the life of this deal.

Not a bargain, not a bad deal. Fair.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Been following Brexit news all day, so I missed this.

Very pleased with the term and amount.

Timmy P, as always, is trash.

 

[dats81]

That's pretty much what Gudas could have gotten on the UFA market. I still don't see him as a everyday top-4 D. Signing players after 1 good season based on potential seems more like a Paul Holmgren special than what Hextall has done before.

 

[PEI Flyers Fan]

Good deal. Happy to wake up to this news on draft morning.

 

[Hockeypete49]

 

[Laveuglette]

I'd say this is a fair deal. Not great, not bad, just fair. I'm fine with it.

 

[tade]

Nice! Very fair and decent deal. Great job Hexy! Can't wait for the draft and our 11 picks.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Its not cap crushing, it's pretty much is the ballpark of what we all expected, if you think he was signing for less than 3, that was probably never the case. It may be a year too long for my liking. But somebody has to be the Vet on this team when the kids arrive.

 

[Gsus]

Great deal. One could argue that there's about 0.5 too much just because it's Hexy but it's great to have this kind of guy. One of my favorite Flyers for sure and I knew at the time of the trade that he was gonna be.

This is how you build D core and with 3.35M for your first vet D man to contend the Cup is great.

He would have gotten much more on the open market. Not many 26 year old, right hand shooting, top 4 quality defensemen become available.

 

[Hiesenberg]

If Hextall gets rid of MacDonald next year and Streit this year, nobody even gives a crap about the extra year or extra half mil.

But we have to wait and see on that.

 

[Curufinwe]

If Hextall gets rid of MacDonald next year and Streit this year, nobody even gives a crap about the extra year or extra half mil.

But we have to wait and see on that.

How does Streit's last year here affect Gudas getting a 4th year?

 

[TheDrizzle81]

All for it. solid. Maybe a year too long but I won't complain. I see the word fair a lot. I agree. Fair deal.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Why are people saying a year too long? These are Gudas' absolute prime years on this contract.
