Hope the Flyers pursue this guy in the offseason, on ice vision and hockey sense out the wazoo

Not to mention pure skill and a great shot. He’s the Flyers Harper and I agree they should make a serious run at him if he’s willing to come to Philly.

 

[Magua]

Never heard of him.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

The bread restaurant? All those carbs aren't good for you

 

[klutch]

I think most of everyone would agree with this. He is the Robin to Giroux's Batman

 

[flyersfan187]

A player like Panarin can basically pick a team he wants to play for.

 

[Munch89]

From the press releases that have followed him all season, it seems like he wants to go to a Hockey City, is not planning on taking a discount, and wants to play on a team with more Russian players on it (I believe bob might be the only one in Columbus, and it looks like he is leaving)

If the flyers make a run for him, we may have quite the chance.

If he signs here, I'll buy you his jersey

 

[GKJ]

I'm sure the Flyers will try, but I think Panarin wants the glitz and glamour of not just a hockey city, but...a glitz-and-glamour type city and that's not here.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I think most of everyone would agree with this. He is the Robin to Giroux's Batman

But also has Batman type talent

 

[Rebels57]

I'd offer him $12 million per. Seriously.

 

[flyersjim73]

I'd offer him $12 million per. Seriously.

I think I’d go $10.5 over 7 years or $12 over 5 years.

I'm not even considering the possibility of signing Panarin or EK. They are good players but to sign them will take so much money that the Flyers would be strapped for cap space PDQ. The young guys are going to cost a lot of money in a hurry. The whole idea under the CBA, when it was signed, that RFAs would be players getting reasonable contracts and then hit the jackpots when they went UFA has been proven to be wrong. Offer sheets have killed that idea. Before the Flyers sign any expensive FA, they need to take care of Provorov, Sanheim and Konecny. It also looks like Hart and Myers might cost a nice chunk of change in the very near future. I don't want to see the Flyers get into a situation like the Leafs where they sign a big time FA and then have to sell off good young players to get under the cap.

They can easily afford it.

By the time we need more cap space for extensions, we will have other contracts dropping off.

 

[Chinatown88]

If he wants to go to a hockey city that should rule out freaking Sunrise, FL.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Well hopefully he at least he has interest coming here. I would offer 11 per. @7 years as a starter.

 

[Magua]

I think he wouldn't go.

 

[Rebels57]

Does Bryce Harper choosing Philly make it more attractive to free agents in other sports? Serious question.

As soon as a team has depth that is going to be costly, they can expect offer sheets coming at them for the good young players. The RFA offer sheet wars are about to begin. Smart teams are going to be ones that take care of their own first.

Mmm maybe someone like P Kane. But Panarin not so much.

We can afford our RFAs and to pay Panarin $12 million, as long we stop wasting money on terrible players. We are paying MacDonald and Lehtera nearly $10 million right now.

Russians love baseball. Fact.

Russians love baseball. Fact.

Baseball bats?

The Phillies do have a decent Russian prospect

Damn straight.

The difference between Panarin at 12 and 10 per can be made up churning one relatively marginal roster spot elsewhere. You basically can’t overpay true stars in this market. The mistake is paying second and third tier players like elite ones.
