My day is made!

Love that they re-signed him!! what are the terms?
- jak521

have not seen money terms yet.

? Hes 36 when the contract is over... he'll be playing with one of the premier Centers in the league the rest of his career. Tell me why 6 years is bad please.

Power Forwards break down. Bill had a blog on it earlier this summer I believe. Not a fan of signing him to six years with all the young kids coming up for raises very soon including Mr. Giroux.

It was a 'gimme'. Can't pass those up.

Let's see what the cap hit is.

Shane Doan is 35 this year. I like Doan put hes not worth the money that hes asking. Have to wait on the terms with Hartnell.

I'm guessing in the 5.5 range.

Power forwards are notorious for major declines around age 32-35... and signing him right after a career year almost assures that he's snagged himself a healthy raise. Have to see the terms first, but a 3-4 year deal would have been ideal.

Tocchet, Brind'amour, Hartnell... I see a Simmonds and a Schenn either one, making their way onto my favorite Flyers of all time list.

?

So what, they were just gonna give him a 1 year extension?

Im not worried about the cap at all. We have more cap space than people think. Now stop complaining. This is a good day.

Also, Hartnell showed this past year that hes a vital asset to this team. Losing him would be a huge blow.
You're the only one complaining baout it so far...

I agree. Lets see what the damage is first.

Because power forwards don't typically age well or have their best seasons from age 32 on.

Hartnell has a lot of mileage on those tires, coming in as an 18-year-old. He's going on Season #12 this year and is now signed on for Seasons #13-18.

He needed to be re-signed, I just hope the number of years were given as a concession for a lighter cap hit. We'll see.

Not really complaining just saying I didn't like the length of the deal. Just my personal opinion. Thanks.

- stveshdy

Yes exactly, Shane Doan is 35. Just because a power forward is north of 30 doesn't mean he will fall off the face of the earth. I'd say Hartnell breaks the 20 goal mark 4 of those six years.

Always negativity in Flyerdom.

Shane Doan, Jarome Iginla, Jaormir Jagr all say hi. Ad im sure players like Bobby Ryan, E. Staal and co will join them.

Im not worried.
