Confirmed with Link: Flyers sign Mark Streit to a multi-year deal [4 yrs, $21m; $5.25 AAV] (post #1)

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

a 4 year deal on a 35 plus contract is stupid. but we know our "balls of steel" GM will do that. If its a 2 year deal i can live with it. Hopefully less then what Gonchar got.

Sign Streit to a 3-year/$18mio contract
He wants 6 per

I am on a wine tasting event ... But I like it ... Her or done

Her or done? Looks like the wine is tasting might good!

I can only see one scenario where all three of Couts, Schenn and Read finish the season in the Flyers uniform which is if Homer can get Streit signed for reasonable money and term as a stopgap to fix the defense for a couple of years.

Solid move so far.... and at least Homer has abandoned his natural habit of giving away 2nd rounders.

 

[Psuhockey]

This is the only way I'm okay with this. I thought Streit's "demands" or whatever you would like to call them were pretty steep no?

The contract is going to be ugly but if it allows the Flyers to keep Couturier and Schenn it is worth the salary cap LTIR dance.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I'd rather do Streit for 3 years than trade Couturier for Yandle

Obviously this.

 

[laundryman]

I'm guessing he'll get more than Gonchar. 3 Years at 5.5 maybe?

 

[SuchySays]

wait, he wants 6 mil per year? WAT

 

[Flyotes]

We all know he's getting a 3-4 year deal, so get the boohooing out of the way now.

Exact thought went through my head. I will loathe a long term deal and worry about a serious injury on a guy with a 35+ contact or sudden desire to retire, but crying about the length will do exactly zero good. Already spoke my peace on it.

 

[Embiid]

.... and at least Homer has abandoned his natural habit of giving away 2nd rounders.

Not that we are very good with those anyway....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Timonen - Schenn
Streit - Coburn
Gustafsson - Grossmann

Hello, defense!

I like it a lot. If Coburn goes back to his original form and Schenn continues to improve, then it should be quite the upgrade.

 

[Beef Invictus]

wait, he wants 6 mil per year? WAT

Sure, why not. Our defensive is already absurdly expensive anyways.

6M? Where did that come from? If so, NO WAY!

 

[JVR21]

That's Kimmo money...pretty much to be expected with Streit.

 

[doug88]

Yes, he turned down the 3-year/5.5mio isles offer

 

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

who? oh no one thatll ever put on a jersey. word

Pffff, he might not but I sure will, I have his GI from 2012 that I'm stripping into a Giroux:

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Streit should not be making more then Timonen.
if he wants that kind of money then ship his rights to Vancouver or someone on July 3rd

 

[Sawdalite]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Timonen - Schenn
Streit - Coburn
Gustafsson - Grossmann

Hello, defense!

... Move Mesz then... or maybe involve Coburn in a deal and hope Mesz can stay healthy? Mesz may be hard to move with his recent injury record, but is too high a Cap Hit to have as a depth D-man... I like him when healthy, but he is sadly a concern at this point. He is $4M for one more season ('13-14) upon which time he becomes a UFA... If Compliance BuyOut was decided to be open by the Flyers, and he was deemed healthy I suppose he could be used as a one year CBO, but that's kinda wasteful. He is a dilemma no with Steit possibly in the Flyers future as I see it.

 

[Curufinwe]

The contract is going to be ugly but if it allows the Flyers to keep Couturier and Schenn it is worth the salary cap LTIR dance.

Yup. I hope they don't overpay, but keeping Couturier and Schenn is more important.

 

[BillDineen]

Her or done? Looks like the wine is tasting might good!

Couldn't edit in time .... Yes too much wine

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

So I guess Briere AND Bryzgalov are gone.

 

[Krishna]

solid stopgap

 

[Flyotes]

The 4th is nothing. Might be able to get better than that for Mez. It's the contract that is worrisome. Also: Good locker guy.

 

[Larry44]

Isles also got Shane Harper apparently.

GOD DAMN HOLMGREN'S IMPATIENCE!

Harper's RFA, right? This just expedites clearing a space to sign a college or Jr UFA.
