Speculation: Who thinks the Flyers are going to get offer sheeted?

[Shakey Graves]

I have a bad feeling that Provy or TK are going to get an offer sheet. I just feel like it will be the icing on the cake for this off season. Thoughts?

I hope they do after looking at the AHO one. Does all the work for us.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Does it matter if we have the cap to cover it?

 

[landsbergfan]

no

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't expect it, but it's possible.

Might not be a bad thing, either, depending on the AAV.

Aho's AAV is $8.45m. He had 83 points to Konecny's 49.

If they offer some ridiculous contract we don't necessarily have the cap.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I'm not very worried. We have the money to match any sheet, even a stupid one.

We'd have the choice ultimately.

Provy or TK may not want to even take the risk signing an offersheet from a team they ultimately don't want to play for. Especially if they are confident their deals with the Flyers will get done in due time and will be market value.

Braun can pick up Provy's slack. He played big minutes on a Cup contender.

Not a fan of picks compensation at this time. 2 years ago: yes. Trade if you cant agree. Return for Provorov via trade would be massive.

i think the flyers have enough cap space to scare off teams from going after konecny or provorov. I think laughton is a little underated, and it wouldn't surprise me to see a team throw 3 million a year at him. This would be a problem for the flyers to match imo

If they're going to do a wimpy offer sheet like the Habs did with Aho, I hope they offer sheet us.

At 3 million OS...we would get a 2nd in return. I would take the pick and move on. He is our 4th line C for likely 1 more year then getting moved anyway.

The pick compensation comes from a direct result of the teams position after the season like normal right?

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Who cares? They will match.

 

[wankstifier]

I’m surprised at that Aho contract. It’s not nearly high enough to not be matched.

If that’s the best the league could do, I’m not worried about offer sheets. Sanheim was the only eligible RFA on the Flyers that offers similar value to Aho.

Tk by Lou.

Yes it based on the normal rules. So the teams that need help the most, are more likely to give up better draft picks than teams that are good already

If Montreal wants to under-offer Provy or TK and they want to sign it that would be great.

Sanheim’s current value is well below Aho’s

Provorov’s value is in between, but maybe Bergevin offer sheets him when Carolina matches. He’s obviously very aggressive about getting better quickly.

The evidence isn’t there yet in points. I think they’re close, though

 

[Curufinwe]

By value I mean market value and we know what that is.

2 x $3.25m versus 5 x $8.45m

 

[Magua]

Provorov’s value is in between, but maybe Bergevin offer sheets him when Carolina matches. He’s obviously very aggressive about getting better quickly.

And ruin his chances of a free yearly 7th rounder? I think not.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, who cares if we have to overpay a player?

Who cares about cap space?

Who cares?
