I'm assuming that means Y1 is two-way, and Y2 is one-way?

Man, I really want to see this kid play - DON'T GET INJURED!

 

[freakydallas13]

The Charles special, 2 year contract with one year 2 way and the other year 1 way.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Can’t argue with that, but it only took two posts for a snide comment. Gotta laugh.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Hopefully he has a good healthy year in Lehigh. Need cheap contracts on the NHL roster.

 

[landsbergfan]

Didn't suffer a hand injury while signing the contract so McKeown is already paying dividends

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

f***ing glad he's signed. f***ing play him this year. Please. I hope he can stay healthy along the way.

Still think he should be playing above a number of other players on the team, including Tippett.

He's had a great 15 game stretch.
Since then he can't stay health, and was meh in LHV last season.
Right now he's just pushing for a spot at 4RW, much less challenge Tippett.

Agree there is no basis to play him above Tippet at this time.

Fair deal, I mean this guy risks blowing out his knee just getting out of bed. Hope for his sake that he can finally put together a healthy season.

 

[Striiker]

Another guy paid less than Deslauriers.

Allison had the better NHL season last year too.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

enjoy the AHL kid..

come back to us when ur 32 and washed up.

The more terminilogy he can include in press releases, the more he thinks we'll believe he is trying.

He'll play about 15-20 games filling in for injuries to Konecny, Atkinson, Tippett, Deslauriers.

No chance he's a regular unless a long-term injury occurs...and he's a greater risk of that than anyone. Ironically he's better than 2 of the 4 RW's that will play above him.

If you consider acknowledging that Fletcher extends contracts of this type more frequently than the average GM to be snide, I cannot begin to guess how you would take an actual snide comment.

Solid contract. Hopeful he'll live up to expectation.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

These contract announcements sound like Pesci describing the painting in Goodfellas. Beauteeful.

 

[Curufinwe]

Surprised he got more than Tanner.

Deslauriers is a LW. MacEwen is the 4th line RW.

If healthy, I'd be surprised if Allison is not a regular. He's got more talent than most of the bottom 6.

Not a tinge of sarcasm in it? Agree to disagree, dogbert.

What 2? What is your criteria for being "better"?

Yep Chucks being hitting them out of the park since the Deslauriers signings. He has gotten the depth guys cheap this year so maybe he learned

TOMMY: I like this one. One Hayes goes one way, and the other goes the other way.
And this GM’s saying, “Whaddaya want from me?” The guy’s got a nice head of hair. Beautiful.

Oh yeah Fletcher has really earned so much goodwill.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Really need Allison to stay healthy this season.

Please.

 

[Curufinwe]

He got a lot more than Laczynski. Therien can quit his crying now, cause this is a generous contract.

 

[deadhead]

You don't have a lot of leverage when you play 15 games then basically miss the next season due to injury.
Allison has a million guaranteed at 25, at worst he's never 100% and has a long AHL career and makes another million or two.
If he stays healthy, in two years he makes real money.
