What?!!!!! MAJOR STEAL

 

[Wolfpuck]

They gave him The Svech.

7.75M? Damn, that's a steal for a top 15 C.

 

[TheOllieC]

Good deal for Philly unfortunately.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I love this.

 

[EveryDay]

Solid deal!!!

 

[Leafs87]

Wonder who inspiring this deal?

 

[GKJ]

Extremely sexy contract

 

[57special]

Yeah, sure let's give Kaprizov 5 x 9M for 55 NHL gp.

I am guessing that PHI fans are pretty happy about this deal, after seeing some of the other stinkers that Fletcher has handed out.

 

[Gurglesons]

Very solid deal.

 

[CanuckCity]

Didn't see that coming. Great signing after a questionable off-season

 

[EastVillageBlues]

It's a nice deal for now.

They are really going to regret it in the second half though. He is not a player that will age well given his playing style and tendencies.

 

[SRHRangers]

Gives me some hope about Zibby.

Great deal for Philly

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Both him and Svech should be making more than Darnell Nurse, then again, their agents probably aren't dealing with an imbecile like Ken Holland...

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Sounds about right to me. $2.6M more per year than Nugent-Hopkins at the same term, while acknowledging that RNH took a discount for security.

 

[Carlzner]

Steal is a reach for sure, it's a fair contract for both sides.

 

[LRS87]

A lot of money for Hayes/Couts top 2C

 

[PensandCaps]

How did jeff skinner get 9 million.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Great player but he will be 29-and-a-half when this kicks in. The last three or so years might be kinda painful. Time flies, feels like he just got drafted yesterday.

 

[Foppberg]

Sounds about right to me. $2.6M more per year than Nugent-Hopkins at the same term, while acknowledging that RNH took a discount for security.

And Couts is the far superior player..

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Nice job by the Flyers here after a bit of an odd off season this one is a no brainer

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

That's an amazing deal. Maybe will help with Barkov getting under 10 pls

 

[NewtJorden]

Pretty good deal for Philly.

 

[Fogelhund]

Great player but he will be 29-and-a-half when this kicks in. The last three or so years might be kinda painful. Time flies, feels like he just got drafted yesterday.

For sure right? Has there ever been a good C in this league, who put up near PPG, and was good defensively, past 35?
