Exactly where he should be. A little more than a guy like Pavelec, who he's clearly better than, but still at a level where he has something to prove. Love love love the term

Somewhat similar to Cory Schneider's deal right? I think Mason is much better than Schneider.

is this true?

Yup...

Philadelphia Flyers
@NHLFlyers
BREAKING NEWS: The #Flyers have signed goaltender Steve Mason to a multi-year contract extension. MORE: nhlflye.rs/1jeiVjf

So basically 4.1 million / year for the next 3 for Mason..

Good deal for both parties I think...I like Mason but I think he needs to prove his worth over the course of a full season and see what he does in the playoffs before extending him for more than 3 years.

Yup. It's a solid deal for both parties. Now let's find a defenseman to help him out and we're good to go.

Almost identical deal.

You would rather have Mason than Schneider correct?

Hmmm.... Schneider's been a lot more consistent and steady............... as much as it pains me, no. /dontkillme

agreed!!!!

Uhhhhh Laughton was 4th line center... He was amazing on the PK
MacKinnon was awful in 2013 WJ I guess he's gonna suck too right?
Stolarz was the backup to Gillies better write him off too eh?
Seth Jones wasn't that good either in 2013, he started off very rough, better say that's sickening too!
Sidney Crosby had 4P when he played on team Canada at 16... Geez that's pretty sickening too I guess!

3rd and 4th line centers are at a premium. Puck moving dmen are a dime a dozen.

The cap hit is a little high, imo, but I'm happy with the term. That's a trade off I'll take everyday.

Schneider's also been on much better teams.

so the Carey Price comparison was nothing
the fourth period is putting Meszaros on the block,

Listen mr bald head no eyes...




That's all I got.

whoa. nice.

For all of those complaining about the cap hit
Mason 14th highest cap hit for goalies next year, and that's without Halak, Miller, etc and company signed

So please enlighten me on how Mason doesn't deserve 4.1M. He'll prob end up being the 17th highest payed goalie in the league next year

No it was something, as an agent you don't go in using low numbers.

Very happy with the Mase deal.
I just like him.
I don't expect him to carry the team every night,
3 years is nice, maybe they are getting better with their contracts.

Next up Schenner.

Just a good old negotiating tactic. As for Mesz, he's playing better lately, but if you can get good value for him, why not?

Miller, Hiller, Halak, Varlamov all have to be signed this offseason
So Mason will end up being the 18th highest payed goalie in the league

Please tell me how he's overpaid.

It's a good deal for both sides at this time. I don't see how anybody could feel differently.

We have Hagg coming in, don't worry.

Just based on comparables, his cap hit is right on target... maybe even a little low considering he signed in an environment of an increasing cap.

I've given Homer a lot of poop about his contract negotiating skills, but this one is right up there with Giroux's 2nd-contract in how smart it was.

We have Hagg coming in, don't worry.
