Contract negotiations are a give and take sometimes when it is done fairly. If you want a player to give up Free Agency in his prime, you have to give him something in return to do so. Especially for the lower Cap hit. Hartnell wanted long term security. The Flyers gave to him in exchange for the lower AAV. This is a prime example of a great deal for both sides.

Fantastic deal. Both sides walk away with ice cream.

Well done Homer

I watch pro-sports for that. Seriously the pro-guys leaving for the olympics messes up the flow of a season with leagues like the NHL.

I hate pro leagues shutting down for the Olympics. In fact, sole reason I watch Olympics is there's no NHL

Ice cream on top of it all just makes it better. Who doesn't like ice cream?

I have a theory that skinny people are working behind the scenes with insurance companies to outlaw it.

Well done Homer

Awesome. Only UFA left worth signing for Philly is Kimmo. Though Homer may want to wait for the new CBA to see if there is a change to the over 35 rule.

This signing makes up for the Shelley. JUST KIDDING YO'

Butsy on twitter:

Teams offered 36 yr old Shane Doan $7m+, Hartnell will be 36 when his contract is up. He can easily be effective for the full term #Flyers

Either way, I'd wait and see what condition he's in at the end of the season.

OVERPAYMENT SNYDER HAS 2 GO

$500,000 raise for a guy that just scored 37 goals. Based on this offseason scoring 20 goals a year gets you near 6 million. But hey, 4.7 for Hartnell and this is a bad deal? Last time I checked, you have to give to get. Hartnell sacrificed dollars for years so this team could keep it's players and people are crying. I think I'm done with this site because, frankly, most of you people are ridiculous.

St.Louis Blues TJ Oshie hat? WTF Hartnell. Trade him.
