Confirmed with Link: Flyers Sign Linus Sandin To One Year ELC

[Striiker]

I just hope he gets a fair shot and only a fair shot. As in, if he's good enough then he plays, but if he's not then he doesn't.

You'd think this would be obvious but given what we've seen...

No more bullshit like Farabee, Frost, and NAK in the AHL while indisputably inferior players are in the NHL.

is it in clodes contract he needs to be protected?

NMC so yes

 

[DancingPanther]

If lindblom and Patrick return healthy it will be very interesting to see who ends up on the outs

I like him a lot but Laughton is an easy trade candidate

Laughton easily nets a 3rd, maybe even a second with a hockey guy at the helm

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Until we are told they are ready to play, don't see how you can include Lindblom or Patrick in any roster going forward.

 

[Tripod]

It will be a 1-year ELC contract, as it is the only type of contract he can sign.
He will not be waiver eligible until he plays 60 games.
If he does not play 80+ games he will be a group 6 UFA next summer.

45 minutes on what Sandin is like as a player, what he will bring:

*and yep, I have pretty much had this ready to go for 7 days or so... haha.

So really, he is a 1 year signing. He could easily miss a few games just due to injury. So would he re-sign or just become a UFA instead?

I assume, we could re-sign him after Jan 1st like other players who sign 1 year deals?

Yeh, in effect.

Was the same deal with Raffl.

Tbh most of the Euro UFAs of his ilk who do a solid job re-sign with the team if the team want them to. Not like he will likely put up over ~30 points and in turn wont be offered more than like ~2m even if goes to free agency.

Gotcha.

Regardless, even if he shows well this year in the NHL, it buys a year for the rest of the depth to get closer....like an Allison for example.

 

[Appleyard]

Ryan put together a really nice video of every goal he scored in 2019-20.

And here is every goal from the year before:

you can leave them out of lineups, but unless something extremely drastic happens they’re going to be on the roster, even if they end up on LTIR again.

 

[Appleyard]

In Linus Sandin, Flyers add intriguing piece to looming...

Yup, I meant more so in the actual on ice lineup, not from a salary/contract management perspective.

guy looks like he has some decent digs

If he is in Jönköping he could probably buy a 5 bedroom farmhouse with its own lake for the price of a one bed apartment in Stockholm. Exaggerating... but it is like less than half the price property wise from what I know.

The Swedish lakes are one of the more surprisingly cheap property locations in Europe from what I have seen! I mean, they are not Spain, but considerably cheaper than most other places in Northern Europe.

Nice signing. Our bottom makeup needs someone a little more physically equipped and skilled at getting to/working the dirt in front and low.

Still longing for the day, however, that we sign or draft literally anyone from Finland...please.

He borrowed @JojoTheWhale's guy for the interior.

what's finland?

 

[freakydallas13]

what's finland?

Does anyone else find it odd that we can only draft/sign players from one of Finland or Sweden, but never both at the same time?

 

[deadhead]

what's finland?

A suburb of St. Petersburg, according to Putin.

 

[flyerslducks]

Pitlick could have been a cap casualty regardless but with the cap situation league wide being in even more doubt you can’t be paying relatively high prices for fourth liners.

I kinda would like pitlick over raffl. they would get the same contract for sure but I think id rather take pitlick now

hell ya this makes me happy. I would be elated if Seattle take jvr off our hands and we can use that cap.

The difference is Raffl is already under contract for 1 more season. He is a lefty who plays LW but also can bounce between multiple spots. Pitlick only plays RW on a team with Voracek, Konecny, and now the emergent NAK. Farabee can play his off hand, and we just signed two RW college seniors (Laczynski will be a quick study), followed shortly by Sandin. Pitlick doesn’t have the talent of a 3rd liner either and is ideally on the 4th line. NAK is really the key here in affecting Pitlick — there’s no tentative uncertainty in projecting.

Pitlick is a UFA at a deep organizational position. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out earn Raffl yearly, but even at the same cost, there’s no guaranteeing he signs for 1 year. In fact, I’d bet on him signing for multiple years. We have seldom been in the catbird’s seat of having too much bottom 6 depth, but here we are. Thank you for your service, Pitlick.
