If there's a luxury tax, you know the Flyers will be over it.

Each and every season, no doubt. At least, as long as Snider and his checkbook are in charge.

I'm not crazy about the length, but the cap hit is nice.

The Flyers will have to trade away players to keep him or go over a the luxury tax (which could be in place w/ CBA).
- stveshdy

Neither side, the players or the League has had a Luxury tax in their proposals. Don't see that as part of the new CBA.

I'm not worried about the length (not to say there's absolutely no reason for concern). It's not like he's signed through 40.

No doubt about it. Money doesnt scare the Flyers.

He changed it. TP is right.

Well that washes out the 2 years possibly too long. Thats a fantastic price.

No doubt about it the Flyers aren't scared of spending money.

That and they've acquired new scapegoats to destroy

I came this close to making that save

If it's true that Hartnell's AAV is 4.75M. That is a flat out steal for the Flyers. An absolutely great deal.

hartnell gave up $$ now so he could get extra years. NHL deals are guaranteed right now in this CBA

Team player.

Well, through 37.

It's not a bad deal, just some minor concerns on length.

thanks for proving my point.

I thought I read something about that? I could be wrong but it was an idea being discussed.

Did I miss a memo or something? Got Plind saying this deal is good, you saying that ^ getting my head ripped off for saying the olympics should be limited to amateur athletes etc, etc what the heck is going on!?

But seriously, fo the peoiple who said it was too long of a contract, is that whiped out now b/c of the low cap hit?

Hard to get Hartnell any cheaper.

It was in the speculation of the possibilities. But neither side has proposed a luxury tax. Both sides proposals has had a continuation of a hard salary cap.

I have a mild concern over it, not a huge worry.

There were speculations in Canadas national media that a luxury tax could be part of the NHLPA first salvo but it never happened.

No.

It's a fair deal for the next 2-3 years. Beyond that, it'll be an albatross.

I agree. But I got questioned for doing so.

Your words were, "You've got to be kidding me." that's a far cry from minor concerns on the length
