Fanuck Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 In before someone says he's a RD and we should take a 'Flyer' on him - pun intended. Surprised it took their organization this long to buy him out frankly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it... why are they buying him out with only one year left on his contract? They have 30 Million and they are in good place financially. No UFAs this year, aside from maybe Kevin Hayes. Maybe they are going hard after Gardiner? He's not going to fix their problems. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/flyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised it took their organization this long to buy him out frankly. He's not that bad. Sure he's no offensive stalwart, but here is a somewhat generalized report of his play, FWIW. He was paid 5 million, so more than Gudbranson. Gudbranson's salary was a "deal" compared to this guy. But I guess you get what you pay for... Gudbranson's lack of puck mobility puts him in the 4M range. Moves the puck well and is generally good with the puck. Can log an awful lot of ice time at all levels. Very mobile, he also has a bit of offensive ability (especially at lower levels). Does not play a consistent game at all, in all facets of the game, so there is a true lack of dependability and reliability here. Is somewhat prone to injury. Lacks ideal size. http://www.sportsforecaster.com/nhl/player/5984 Edited June 15, 2019 by Dazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have Provorov, Sanheim and Konecny as core RFAs to re-sign. They need a veteran goalie to play with Carter Hart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the $9M they will offer Bobrovsky and there goes the cap. Not only that, they save about $3M cash doing this, so there's that too.

rekker Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) May be a good fit with the Leafs. Older right side dman that cant play D very well anymore. Edit. If the Leafs do sign him cue the "Most Underrated Signing of the Summer" headlines. Edited June 15, 2019 by rekker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Honestly wouldn't be the worst thing to sign the guy on a 1 year deal. Adds some much needed depth to our right D side. In my opinion he's comparable to Tanev. Hutton-Tanev Hughes-Stecher Edler(or UFA)-MacDonald Sautner-Schenn Leaves lots of room to move pieces throughout the season. Hutton, Tanev, MacDonald, Schenn could all be moved if others show they're ready to play. Juolevi, Rafferty, Chatfield, Brisebois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing in a veteran defenceman who's main weaknesses are reliability and consistency isn't what you want to be exposing the developing core of youngsters to imo. At least a guy like Schenn, while not the most skilled guy on the team, will give you 110% every shift - there's something to be said for having a guy like that on your team when you're trying to build a certain culture in my view. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without quoting her, basically he lives it up and is lazy. Basically he knows he was set for life and doesn't care.

-AJ- Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 He was a great AHL defenseman in NHL19 for me, but yikes, that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I wonder who will end up picking him up, he wasn't worth what he was being paid but I would imagine he's still a serviceable bottom pairing guy on a smaller deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to think they might want to target a veteran backup at this point rather than a starter that will take over Hart's minutes. Maybe there will be some interest in taking on Reimer and Hoffman from Florida to allow them go after Panarin and Bobrovsky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
