He is a better player than Schenn and cheaper. So that is cool

You crack me up.

That move is a head scratcher for me. Filppula is making 5 million through next season according to Cap Friendly.
- Doc_Sarcasm

We're going for it next year!

Well he has 34 points putting him 5th on the current squad. Also, we lose Streits salary, and will likely replace d-men with prospects at a low cost so there really isnt a big cap crunch like some believe.

We're not losing Streit's salary. Filppula is making what? 500k less than Streit and signed through next season.

ok

We're going for it next year!

by "it", please tell me you don't mean the #1 overall in the draft.

You crack me up.

I'm glad someone enjoyed that gem

This is the same guy bought out by Detroit when we signed TB buyout guy VInny...
Guy did do a bit better then Vinny back then...but really, now we get more TB scrap heap type guys...
This deal really gives us a shot at the playoffs lol

Nope. We're going for the Cup, baby!

Maybe he is expansion draft insurance???

ok

So we retained some of streits salary this year. Seems like a weird trade.

Seravalli suggesting that the Flyers might buy out Filppula at the end of the season.


That liittle tidbit doesnt make this deal any less of a head scratcher for me.

That would make this a terrible deal.

Turn Streight into 2.5mil cap hit over two years for a buyout for a 4th and conditional 7th? Stupid ad poop

Filppula is a deadline trade chip for next year if he is not taken in the expansion draft.

So Streit to Pit now... Hmmm.

They got a 4th round pick

i wonder if Hexy knew, and if not, will that damage his relationship with Stevie Y?

2018 4th rounder

Tampa retained half of Streit's salary according to LeBrun, and the 4th is in 2018
