Hahahahahahaha
Did he seriously just get a $3.25m a year contract after only playing 3 games?
What the actual overpayment is going on?
He was terrible for 75 percent of the time he played. Rumoured to have new equipment issues that could reasonably be related to him being 6’8. He also didn’t play the season prior. Perhaps an offseason will improve things. In the end, he had zero leverage and Briere got bent over. Briere is quickly showing, almost at every move now, that he was Cuck Fletcher’s protege.
At the end of the day, if he’s still terrible, he helps force a tank.
They lost Hart. The alternative was to get into a contract negotiation battle, over pay during free agency, trade assets you need for goaltending, or just over-pay a player you brought over for 2 years. As somebody else mentioned, it might have already been agreed upon before he put the pads on for them in an actual game.
Don’t have to trade anybody or anything, there are plenty of options, most would cost less, but there’s more to gain here.They lost Hart.

You don't have to trade anybody. Those were all different options. You can find somebody for cheap. But something tells me the Flyers didn't want to just grab a cheap goalie as they intent to push for playoffs next year after coming so close this year. Fedotov was a UFA and after all that to bring him over I really don't think they were just letting him go to save 1.2 million or so /2 years. I think they want to see what he can do with a training plan in place, and having an actual pres-season camp.Don’t have to trade anybody or anything, there are plenty of options, most would cost less, but there’s more to gain here.
Yes, did it because they believe in the player. And the economics of signing KHL veterans are often different too. The Flyers are in a position that it’s worth it to oblige.You don't have to trade anybody. Those were all different options. You can find somebody for cheap.

Yes. You don't keep Torts to go with a rebuild mentality entering next season. He is going to play to win and bench whoever (vet or rookie) that doesn't meat his requirements or expectations. They came close this season. Maybe it was because they exceeded expectations. Maybe it was because the rest of the Metro/east didn't make much noise, but no doubt they're believing they can ride this wave into next season to make playoffs.Only 2 years not the end of the world , is philly trying to make the playoffs again next year? seems like a rebuild would be better suited
They were supposed to be rebuilding this year and we all saw how that turned out. It turned out like the previous 15 seasons where the are stuck in the suck zone. They don't know how to rebuildOnly 2 years not the end of the world , is philly trying to make the playoffs again next year? seems like a rebuild would be better suited
