More valuable than Steve Ott for sure..
In order for Rinaldo to reach Ott's current career total in goals of 105, if he where to maintain his current goals/game ratio, Rinaldo has to play 3015 games in his career.

Not that he wouldn't have been scratched anyway, but the Flyers are earning points while he is suspended. Why they felt the need to sign him to an extension early and at a raise is beyond me?
They can just send him to the AHL at any point in the contract with no repercussions due to the AV being below the limit. But he is just a waste of a contract.
He better bloody well not get back in the lineup now his suspension is over... heck, the Flyers are on a 9 game point streak starting when he was suspended!
But if he didn't try to end Kris Letang, who was obviously faking the injury into the next game, who knows what would have happened
The Rinaldo extension is the one complaint I have about Hextall so far, everything else has been great.
Does anybody else think that the Rinaldo extension was just Hextall preparing for an expansion draft? That way Rinaldo can meet the minimum games played requirement and Hextall can leave him unprotected and allow other (better) players to be protected?
It is really the only reasonable explanation I can think of for him to be resigned.
I mean, I made a bet with some friends at the beginning of the year, and we each had to pick 3 players who would score the fewest points while playing a minimum of 30 games. Rinaldo was my first selection without hesitation. I am going to win quite easily.
Or... ya know.... he could just not re-sign him and then we'd be rid of him without an expansion draft...
No idea what you're thinking here.
I mean if Hextall "knew" that two teams were going to be added for the 2016 or 2017 season and there was going to be an expansion draft.
Honestly, I have just been forced to really think outside the box to try and explain why Rinaldo was signed to that extension.
A bowling ball. Literally if you wrapped a bowling ball in a Flyers jersey and rolled it out on the ice, it would run into people, take stupid penalties and eventually score 2 goals.
Hextall saw value in Rinaldo for whatever reason however the contract given out doesn't guarantee him a spot for good. He can easily be stashed in minors without any cap penalties.
The expansion draft really has no effect as the league gives enough slots to hold onto to your most valuable players. The draft is basically filled with marginal players who either are or aren't on bad contracts.
