Makes it easier to get Eichel now!!!!
- hello it's me 2050

I didn't say THAT.......but while you bring it up....

The only acceptable deal for coots to Stayin Alive would have been a 1 year extension because when a player hits 30, they are totally cooked and should not be playing in the NHL anymore.

He definitely would get 8 years and close to 9mil in free agency. This was unexpected. Very excited to lock him up
- Richieattack18

Can only get 7 years in free agency. So lets say 7 years 9 per. As opposed to 8 years 7.75 per. He really didn't leave much on the table at all.

Coots gives another hometown discount!

Hey team negative... Guess what..... Coots is locked up for cheap!!!

Nothing to hash out.

I really wish this site has a block feature

Why do some of you continue to feed these flyer hating trolls?

Bobby how you doing today? Anything good for lunch?

No cup for next decade. Cool. Go canes
- Stayin alive

How can you root for a team with a Jordan Staal contract like that He is 32 with a few more seasons at 6 mil?!? The horror. No cup for them. They also have a ton of contracts extending well into players 30s. They are screwed!!

34-yo Derik Brassard isn't exactly a sure bet either, tho.

So what happens if frost Allison and tanner all get injure? Which is a possibility. Insurance.

no way. he is testing free agency. we are not a destination. etc. etc.

It’s not about the Flyers, it’s about hating those who are here.

That’s been his game for many years, Rinaldo.

Coots contract is great. Good job chuck.

Coots must really have hated Chucks moves this offseason to commit to that much more time with the Flyers.

something something coots doesn't care about winning. he can take it or leave it.

It’s at the very least both.

This is why I think we can lock Risto up if he does well. Everyone saying 7 mil. But for 8 years the aav goes down a little. Right…

Cheap is a bit of a stretch. We pretty much assumed he was going to get what Giroux got. We saved 525k

To me this is a statement by Coots, this is where he wants to win, he took a deal that at worse is really fair and truly it is just team friendly.

most haters will go silent or be more ridiculous than usual.

I have not loved all of CF's move but he has loaded the boat, addressed every position and really put it on the players to go and make it happen.

There is competition at every position, there is depth and they have leadership.

Again, I don't love every move but I am locked in and 100% behind them and ready for next season...

Rosy glasses engage

not a center but almost the same deal and is 21

Not questioning Frost’s motivation ir drive. Just saying a healthy competition doesn’t hurt anyone. Fringe vets were signed as the back up. Between injuries, the several back to backs, and Covid it doesn’t hurt to have depth. Brassard and Thompson won’t be regulars if younger guys player better.
- arichardson22

This is where we disagree. I don't think the fringe vets were signed as backup. I see them as ahead of players like Frost on the depth chart.

Outstanding deal. Well done Chuck.

- Ftown19125

Here comes stronzo with still spewing the false narrative. Show one poster who said he will test free agency?

With the exception of 3 guys on their last leg's on min deals every free agent agrees with you them not being a destination.

Mhm. Flyers got a very good deal. Canes perhaps got an absolute steal. He isn’t quite the two-way player Coots is, but that looks nice.

Svech is very young to have taken that, but I guess he’s lined himself up for two big paydays in his contract.

Maybe, but I think it is smart not to rely on a guy who missed so much time expecting he can step right in to an NHL role. The smart move is starting him in the AHL and if he knocks the NHL door down more power to him.

The obvious plan is that they expect him to get top line minutes for the Phantoms to get his legs back and I dont think its a bad plan.
