Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] F Owen Tippett signs extension with the Flyers (8 years, $6.2M AAV)

[TheDoldrums]

Wow, haven't kept up with him much but good for him. I remember when he kept being thrown around in every trade proposal and no one seemed excited at the idea of acquiring him.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Steal. f***. Hate that team but great deal.

 

[Larry44]

Good deal 8 years takes him to 32, good timing

I still remember him barely cracking florida’s lineup. He didn’t really look anything other than a random guy. I thought at best he’d be a 3rd liner and after the deal he didn’t really do to well the rest of the season

But man the past two seasons he’s improved so much. Become a great player in Philly and if he can continue to produce 25+ goals and 55+ I think this will be a good deal.

Solid deal for philly and tippett

He keeps getting better as a player, this is really going to be a steal.

I was leary of him, but he's turned his game around. The risk of term is mitigated by the fact that he's both fairly big and very fast, so even if his scoring dries up at the end of the contract, he should still be able to contribute.

See kids, all it takes is one spinaround goal of the week and you cash in!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Agent couldn't get that extra $50k per year huh?

 

[FlyguyOX]

Wow this is going to end up a being a great deal that everyone looks back at and says "How???"

I'm not. $6 Mil over 8 years could be a steal by year 6 with the cap projections.

Going to be a steal next year tbh

I have not followed him closely. He was in bust territory in Florida. it changed for him in Philadelphia. I am curious…hoe much of that is linemstes/ usage vs him putting things together?

He's the only player on the team that can score highlight-reel goals.

Flyers are on a 4 game losing streak since he came out of the lineup because of injury. He's regularly scoring highlight-reel goals, especially in 2024 ever since he's changed his stick blade. He also can fly - highest mph on record so far this season.

 

[Gurglesons]

okay.

 

[AcerComputer]

If he was playing for OTT they would have given him $8m x 8 years, minimum. So $6.2m is a steal.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

A couple of years ago Tippett was basically seen as a bust

Torts, baby.

But let the mouth breathers keep saying how much he ruins young players.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Congrats PHI fans.
Still miss the Red Rocket in Florida.
Watched him develop since his days in Mississauga.

Still don't like the Giroux trade a few years back but I think this is a fair deal for both sides and happy to continue watching Tippett chase a 30+ goal season, he arguably has a 40 goal wrister in him.

Are they? He's had two good seasons, not really sure how he could make much more than this. If he breaks out then great but that won't change that this is a fair deal for the player he is now. He gets security of 8 years and Flyers lock him in for his prime.

 

[al secord]

6M is going to be the new rate for a #2 winger, people will need to get used to this.

I thought it was 11m.

It reminds me of Adrian Kempe. Thought same thing at his signing, and it immediately looks like a great deal the next year.

Edit: looking at their stats and ages more, the comparable is uncanny.

 

[Voight]

Helluva time to have a career year.

As Torts said, sometimes he stinks defensively but generates a lot of offense.

 

[missionAvs]

I actually really like this deal for the Flyers. Well played Briere.

 

[Legend123]

Sheeesh that's a lot for someone who hasn't produced much

 

[Siludin]

Good contract for his age.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Already 30+20 player for two years playing under defensive system. He's already almost worth it, and the contract is from age 25 to 34. potential to be a steal in future considering the salary cap raises.

 

[Marlowe Syn]

Torts, baby.

But let the mouth breathers keep saying how much he ruins young players.

A narrative I never understood. Sure he's tough, but the guy always knew the game and typically got the most out of players.

 

[NYRKing]

Fair deal. Tippett is underrated.

 

[Taylor26]

goal scoring is hard to come by and he's got it. Gingerific!

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Tippett could be a 40 goal scorer under anyone except Torts. Good deal.

I'm sure that that nothing to do with a certain goalie who was carrying the team far beyond their expected standing not being able to control himself and being on leave as a result.

The flyers were largely being carried by their low goals against, and it's not their d which is great.
