Great deal. Very happy with Pospisil this year.

 

[Fig]

I like having popsicles.

 

[herashak]

Im reminded of Hathaway with him, I'll likely forget his name if he signs UFA elsewhere (Like hathaway). Solid player while around though

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Probably could have passed a collection bowl around the league to cover his salary, seeing some of the reactions to the "cross check" the other day.

 

[Mobiandi]

Love this player, and wanted him up for a couple years for a cup of coffee. Glad he took his chance and ran with it.

 

[flames23]

Very happy w this.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Pretty much no downside to this. Love what Pospisil has brought to the team.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Congrats Marty. You’re going to be a millionaire

 

[InfinityIggy]

Gotta like that. Not a money deal either so no slacking.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Great deal love Pospisil. Crazy how much better this team has been since calling him and Zary up

IIRC, we were always concerned he was going to pan out due to injuries. I'm glad that's not the case and he's likely going to be a full time NHLER in the next few years.

Personally, I hoped he could get slightly more monies the way he works his body and he defo plays for the crest rather than number. We all know he deserves more but hey- very glad he is a Flame for 2 more years. Well done Marty and Conny (you wheeler dealer )

 

[Khrox]

Best part is, as a 2 year deal, he's still an RFA after, so we could get him for longer as well.

 

[Siludin]

Insane deal

 

[Khrox]

Insane deal

Not really, on the roster he is worth more than that realistically. We would struggle to get an FA at that dollar value that provides what Pospisil does. And if he happens to fall off a cliff, you can completely bury it in the AHL

I'm just guessing but the poster might have meant insanely good deal. Because no way anyone could think a deal just above league minimum could be insanely bad, no matter who the player is.

I mean it's an insanely good deal.
He should have been able to get $2m, his agent did him dirty imo

 

[MM917]

Its not insane good or bad.

Popisil is a warm body that fans love but he has little to no impact on the ice. The deal he signed is for a player like that.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I'm guilty of thinking he was done lastyear after his latest concussion. But this is the exact type of player we need for the next few years. He'll become a fan fav, well even more so.

No impact? He's the guy that;ll be the 1st in scrums and standing up for teamates. That has impact.

Anyone can be the first guy into scrums. He is on pace for 20 points this year, that isn't great. As I said he is a decent warm body to fill a role that is easily replaceable which is why he signed the deal that he did.

He also can't really stand up for teammates because he can't fight, both in terms of his ability to fight and his concussion history, so all he has is cheap shots and dumb pushing after the whistle that does nothing.

Anyone can but very few do. Thats why someone like Lomberg has played for so long.
Pops is actually a good fighter for his size, but I agree he hopefully doesn't take too many more knocks to the head.

 

[Kahvi]

Oh look, it's the guy again who has never said anything positive about the Flames.

Sure but look at what Lomberg gets paid. That's why the deal isn't insanely good, players like Popisil don't get paid much at all, his deal is fair value for what he and others bring.

Oh look, it's the guy again who has never said anything positive about the Flames.

The team missed the play-offs last year, out of the play-offs again this year.

Is there a whole lot of positives to brag about with this current team? Is there some reason to be fake positive rather than honest?
