Drouin Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The contract is for $14.5 million, or an average annual value of $3.625, which will serve as his cap hit beginning in the 2014-15 season. http://flyers.nhl.co...st.htm?id=20510 Cam Tucker @CamTucker_Metro12m Flyers sign Matt Read to four-year, $14.5 million contract extension http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/20/flyers-sign-read-to-four-year-14-5-million-contract-extension/ … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 LOL. Can always count on Holmgren and the Flyers to make me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 3.5M is good for a guy who can potentially score 20-30 goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 they have no cap and no goalie. The last thing they need is another forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I still want the Canucks to get him, I think he and Hansen would be great together. trade Higgins + w.e for him pls MG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 might be a little of an overpayment, but i'm always happy to see guys who played for the des moines buccaneers get nice contracts. congrats matt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mason/Emery tandem can work, and I believe putting Pronger on the LTIR may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Truly unbelievable. I can't remember a team messing up so badly in one offseason. Philly is in a whole different world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Agreed. The guy is a gem. I think he's going to be something special for the flyers. I only hope we can get him here somehow. Hate to admit it, but it is a nice signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marleau_12 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Maybe a bit much, but Read is a player. He's damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub Voracek Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I think this is a great deal. So far in his short NHL career he has had 47 points in his first year and 24 in a shortened season. He has done pretty good for the flyers in a third line role. He is a pretty versatile player for the flyers, he can play on the power play, penalty kill and pretty much any situation. The cap is going to increase in the following seasons so the cap hit on this deal is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseforthenet Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 So does this mean he is being traded at the draft next season, before his contract kicks in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

people please Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Good signing I like how people just say stuff when (most likely) they don't watch many flyers games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
