Even MJL thinks A Mac was flyers worst D man in history. Performance vs salary.

Well common sense to me is you offer him around the league with some retention so you don’t have dead space next year. Maybe they didn’t want to retain idk.
- daryl stanley


Yeah, common sense. I could see them shopping him. Not sure they would have offered up that deal but I could see them wanting a deal instead of buying him out. As they just did.

Yes. I think so. Just to me this move is very telling. He had about 10-13mil to use after RFA signing (depending on deals). Working on a Hayes deal we know of. Wanting another 3 plus million to work with let’s us know he plans on spending some significant money. May want a big fish to land. Or should I say he more likely plans on going after the big fish.

Well, he is going to keep this off season entertaining for sure.

He’s going to try for big fish. This move gives him more immediate options

I’m leaning towards a wing. He is working on center with Hayes, traded for a top 4 D, and now he only has another goalie and a top 9 winger on his to do list.

Not saying he is getting all the right pieces but he is checking off his shopping list.

And he just made sure he has a bigger bank account to write the checks.

Entertaining this guy is.

Yes a top 9 RW. Who would you think?

Also it looks like the isles may pass on Anders lee. He might be asking too much. Do they go that direction if Hayes balks at them?

Haha. That is why I read this blog is to hear you guys out.

MJL thinks whatever fits his narrative at the time. One day AMac is a top 4 Dman, the next day he's a good choice for the top pair with Provorov and the next he's worst Dman in history

Only flyers fans can get this upset over the buyout of a guy the whole fanbase wanted gone.

Curious to see how much Konency, Provy, and Sanheim get. Personally, I m not a fan of bridge deals. I hope they commit long term to all 3.

The cap charge for amac is 1.1 for 19-20 and 1.9 for 20-21

That’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but I’d rather they eat his remaining contract this year and not worry about it for 20-21.
