Chuck is back on my shit list.

This is when you end up with contracts you love in a few years.

*rages*

 

[landsbergfan]

He's going to be worth a lot more in two years after all this mentoring from Niskanen and Braun

 

[Danko]

Surprised they went with the bridge deal.

 

[Rebels57]

Pretty damn cheap, even if I preferred longterm.

 

[Jtown]

f***

 

[landsbergfan]

Surprised they went with the bridge deal.

are you though?

 

[Branko]

Can't force him to sign long term if he doesn't want to. If I'm Sanheim, I'm taking the bridge deal and gambling on myself as well.

At least it's a friendly cap hit for the next two seasons. Our boy will get paid before 21-22.

 

[renberg]

The minute that Sanheim looks like he's as good as many feel that he is, he needs to be extended for what he's worth. $3.25 isn't going to be his freight for long.

 

[Jtown]

This was the time to lock himthe f*** up now.

 

[Prongo]

3.25 I saw as the AVV

 

[Prongo]

Takes is right up to when Nisky and Macdonalds cap hit is gone.

 

[FlyerNutter]

The idiocy of bridge deals.

 

[Northern Force]

As nice as it would have been to lock him up long term, Sanheim's camp obviously was pushing for the bridge. Very fair deal for both sides. Really believe he can be a strong #2 to Provorov for years to come, lets all pray they can afford the next deal!

 

[GKJ]

Got 2 years before we have to pay him 6-7M

 

[1865]

Sanheim isn't quite a guarantee, so it's not the worst thing in the world. God knows though, i'd have given him 8 years in a heartbeat.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Call me crazy, but I would have actually liked to go long term with Sanheim, and bridge for Provorov if given the choice.

 

[landsbergfan]

It is certainly plausible that Sanheim didn't want to sign a long term deal. I would suspect negotiations to take longer if the Flyers did want to sign him long term though.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Gross but predictable.

 

[bobbythebrain]

But but but..Fletch is a genius.

Brace yourself for a massive overpay for Provorov. Love Provy but it will be an overpay

 

[Chinatown88]

He keeps up his play, he gonna break the bank on the next deal.

 

[FlyerNutter]

A bridge deal here and there isn’t a horrific thing.

I would much rather take the calculated risk on a kid that is showing true potential, than a risk of signing overpaid contracts to guys like Hayes.

The bridge route, is going to burn them if they let it become the norm. We shall see of course.

 

[bobbythebrain]

It is certainly plausible that Sanheim didn't want to sign a long term deal. I would suspect negotiations to take longer if the Flyers did want to sign him long term though.

More plausible Fletch blew the cap and needs to save somewhere

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The worst possible guy to bridge. Reward is low, risk is through the roof.
