Read being UFA doesn't help the goal to keep his cap hit low.
if you are paying 4.5 for Read then its with another team. I like Read, but I just cant see the Flyers being able to afford him with Giroux, Couturier and Schenn all due big raises as well in 2014.
You think Schenn is going to get a big raise? He's getting $3m as it is, I can't see him getting a million miles more than that. Giroux's a given, but Couts won't get a fortune either.

Schenn's base salary is 870k. Same as Couturier.
capgeek shows all bonuses included with the contract.
And that is why Homer needs to sign these 2 to nice lil bridge contracts BEFORE next year starts. Say 3 years...2 mill for Couts, 2.25 for Schenn. Subban got $2.8 for 2 years. Hopefully homer squeezes for this. But knowing him, they will get $4.25 mill ion for the next 5 years.
I'm pretty sure the first day Giroux, Schenn, and Couturier could be extended is July 5, 2013.
That would apply for Read as well, right?

I'm don't think so. Read will be a UFA after next year, the other three are RFAs.
Hartnell and Schenn? OK, Hartnell has been in the past, and Schenn might be in the future. My guess is Hartnell is going to stumble around 40 points, Schenn will indeed be a 50 pointer, and Simmonds will have up and down years, where he'll get anywhere from 40 - 60 points. So alright, maybe we have four. But I don't think we're getting enough scoring from the bottom lines to be able to afford that. Because apart from Voracek and Giroux, none of those guys have the potential to be in the top in points league-wide.Giroux, Voracek, Hartnell, Simmonds, Schenn. We're not short on 50 pointers.
We are certainly at the point where we can expect Hartnell's production to decline.

Re-sign this man.

i dont think anyone "wants" to trade read, we just might not be able to afford him.Ah. Finally someone else is climbing on the "don't move Read train".
