Seems like things are tightening up. Not sure if it's just the mods. I kinda blame it on new peoples love of the [!] button. I've had several comments deleted and have been banned in the last month or so. I think in all the years I've been on here I had one argument deleted. Definitely ramping up. I'm back to behaving myself a little more than usual.

It's a great deal for the Flyers. A steal!

oh man the Flyers will pay the going rate market value for a skilled offensive defenseman to fill a need..what a disgrace!

these koolaid spindoctor yes men are so dumb!

I just want to say that I apologize for the contract the Streit signed. Trust me, you guys will soon see what islander fans have been talking about
- NYI44

Well maybe we can trade him back to you guys so you can get to the cap floor! LOL

Seriously though never knew you guys hated him so much... weird to me. I've got no worry about the money but term is long.

John Tavares for MVP?
- jmatchett383

It's a joke. A guy decides to play half a season and wins MVP. Just proves that the NHL will only pick big names.

Full NMC is a given.

Aren't NMC extinct since you can't bury contracts in the minors?

NMC protects against waivers, too.

4 year deal at 5.5+ for a 35 year old is a steep price to pay. Like I said before, he fills a need he's a good QB on the PP, and can move the puck, but he's not very good in his own end. Strictly an offensive dman.

With Briere out and Streit in the Flyers are a better team, roster isn't a finished product, but lots of work to be done.

Trust me I don't hate him one bit. I liked him a lot and he played well always even when the isles were awful, which was a lot during his time as an Islander. Just time to move on for him, but I have a ton of respect for him. He may have a few issues, but he is not awful

Must be an election year.

It's on TSN that it's 4years... man that's a long term. Please stay healthy.

4 years at 5.5. I knew we weren't going to like it. I thought we had a shot at 3 at 5.75

yeah im hoping its below 5.5 obviously

but there werent many other options out there and you couldnt really expect a guy like Streit to sign for cheap or for short term

- Just5

Speak for youself. I am fine with it. If 4 years at 5.5 is the cost it takes to keep schenn and couts... fine.

where did you hear 4 years?
is the deal done?
- Marc D

Very possible that a deal has been agreed to. But it won't be announced until after the Flyers make some player moves. IE: buyout Briere.

- Crimsoninja

We didn't trade anyone for him and he fills a need. If this activates the Bryzgalof buy out it's a win win. I'm done with him.

If you really thought Streit wasn't getting 4 years, can I just point and laugh at you?

If he can play the 4/5 spot and anchor the second PP unit, I"ll be ok.. have to see, but Offensive dmen cost you big nowadays in either assets or money. I'm more ok with this than a Couturier and schenn for Yandle.

If the alternative was trading Couturier or a B. Schenn package for a marginal type d-man, sign me up for this.

I'm not very high on Edler. I have zero doubts that he would come to Philly and break into a billion pieces.

We're currently -$2,552,262 over the cap, and i believe you're only allowed to spend 10% over the cap during the offseason. So that'd be 6.43M. So the Flyers have to make some moves before this can be finalized.
Im pretty sure you have to wait till end of the season to use an amnesty, no?
Maybe Meszaros gets traded?
- FLYERSROCK!

It's not technically the off season yet. That 10% over the Cap off season exemption doesn't kick in until July 5th. But you are correct in that they have to make some moves first due to tagging space to officially sign him.

And take that total on Capgeek with a grain of salt. Capgeek does not calculate the off season Cap. It is an guesstimate of the roster for the following Season

We'll see how he does. With the Isles, he was the captain and he had all the respect of the fans. He wont have that in Philly, but I think he'll be fine. I'm sure he'll be good, but still not sure if he's worth the years/money.

Per @DFriedmanWFAN, Flyers deal for Mark Streit is for 4-years, $22M

I know isles fans think it's lunacy, but our D is a mess right now regarding puck moving.. we need someone like this or it'll be out of the playoffs again..

It's def a better option

seriously
- Crimsoninja

He wanted 4 years, near $5mm with the Isles. Let's face it, he wasn't taking much less to come to terms here.
