Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] D Nick Seeler signs extension with the Flyers (4 years, $2.7M AAV)

[Gert B Frobe]

I don't suppose signing and keeping both Seeler and Walker would necessarily prevent trades in the summer, provided they don't overpay or offer no-trade clauses.

Seeler at 4 x $3.3 will diminish that return though.

At that rate/term they are stuck with him. AMac2.0.

 

[Connor McConnor]

I don't think so.

Flyers love that pairing. If one stays, i'd guess it's likelier that the 2nd (and better) stays aswell.

He’s a soon to be 30 yo on an expiring. Makes no sense for a rebuilding team like Philly to keep Walker.

Jokes on you (and every Flyers fan). This team was never rebuilding.

 

[sxvnert]

At least trade walker, otherwise good luck selling a "rebuild" to your fanbase.

This feels like it'll be a bad contract by year two but good for Nick. Dude was a total plug in Chicago and I admittedly don't catch a ton of Flyers games.

 

[SnS]

He blocks a lot of shots and Torts wants to pet him like a kitty cat. So silly.

 

[Breeze 44]

I'm happy with the signing... Walker will be the one getting moved , only wish they could find someone to take Atkinson.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seeler turns 31 in June and before this year was nothing more than a #6 (And a #7/Waiver fodder before that)

This feels like a contract Philly will regret in a year

Future Phantoms coach.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Briere’s hands are tied. Seeler broke something blocking a shot, so he gets taken care of indefinitely. Danny doesn’t make the rules here.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Future Phantoms coach.

Yeah, exactly. This f***ing franchise man.

 

[Nickhr]

I'm a big Seeler fan, but that's a hard no on both term and AAV. I could live with $2M for 2yrs & if that's too low, trade him. We already have Risto locked up for years. We don't need to be spending nearly $8.5M for two bottom pair Dmen.

[SnS]

Ugh. 4 years.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

This is so dumb

 

[Curufinwe]

Four years for a 31 year old 3rd pairing dman. Ugh.

 

[SnS]

Briere does good with trading Walker.

Briere does bad with signing Seeler to an extension.

What’s next?

 

[MMC]

 

[Cody Webster]

4 years for a 5/6 Dman...inept franchise doing inept things....shocking


And a NTC? ROFL. It gets worse and worse with every new update. Jesus

 

[Will Hunting]

Great deal for the Flyers, Seeler is excellent. Congrats. Huge part of the great season that the Flyers are having.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

A soon to be 31 yr old journeyman bottom pairing defender (Was #7/waiver fodder before arriving in Philly last year) with a full NTC for 2 years of a 4 yr extension

LOL

 

[sxvnert]

Fair deal

 

[BKarchitect]

$2.7 isn't as bad viscerally as 3+ but you've basically locked him in for the rest of his career, which I guess is the goal here from Flyers management. He goes from a potentially decently valuable trade asset to a guy you are just gonna have playing 15-17 minutes a night for through his age 35 season. Not saying that's the worst thing given how he has played. But...yeah...guess third pair LHD is on lock!

 

[SnS]

Unf***ingreal, this block fest mother f***er gets a NTC + 2 signing bonuses.

Sick. Absolutely sick.
