    Hartnell re-signed for 6 yrs



    The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have re-signed 6-2, 210-lb left wing Scott Hartnell to a multi-year contract extension, according to General Manager Paul Holmgren.

    “We are pleased to announce that we have agreed with Scott on a multi-year extension,” said Holmgren. “Scott has been a very good player for us over the last five seasons and we look forward to many more good years to come.”

    “I am very happy to be staying in Philly to continue my career playing in front of the best fans in the NHL," said Hartnell. "I would like to thank Mr. Snider and the entire Flyers organization.”

    great signing but do we know how much the cap is. I am worried about them signing all these players when they really need to get some d-man.

    anyone else think 6 years is kinda long for hartnell? can't see him being real effective at 36

    I'm not worried about a lockout. With all the injuries on the backline it would probably help them

    I wa sthinking the same thing bnut when you think that he has only missed like 3 games in the past 5 years i think 6 year is ok. also from what i heard the cap hit in the last 2 years in low.

    I don't know if the backend will be ok by the time they come back cause the 2 bigs ones are pronger and Mez who is out for a while.

    yeah, I'm not expecting pronger to ever play again. shortened season could help timonen. and maybe they can get meszaros back towards end of year for playoffs.

    def a strange offseason

    this sucks.

    also means i most likely will miss the entire season, unless they reduce the package price for center ice. i won't pay full retail for a half season. :nono:

    I'm a Rangers fan but I was in Berlin where Briere and Giroux are playing for Eisbaren Berlin. I went to 2 games while I was there. This is a video I took of Giroux being called out for an ovation as the star of the game. Their fans are crazy!

    it's usually half price after the all star break. goes from 160 to 80. not sure about all cable systems, but that's how it is on comcast.

    if nhl was smart (they're not) it would be free for the upcoming season, assuming there is one. gotta do something to show the fans they want us back. again

    ..PRAGUE (AP) -- The Czech Republic's ice hockey federation says it has fined a club after its fans aimed racist chants toward Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds, who is playing in the top Czech league during the NHL lockout.

    In a statement on Tuesday, the federation said the Chomutov Pirates were fined 30,000 koruna ($1,554) by its disciplinary committee for the chants directed toward Simmonds, who is playing for the Liberec White Tigers.

    The chants were uttered during a game on Sunday.

    Chomutov has apologized to Simmonds, who is black, and the club said it would do everything it can to prevent any future abuse.

    Last year, a banana was thrown at Simmonds from the stands during an NHL preseason game in London, Ontario.

    I've never seen a player as skinny as Simmonds be able to fight and play as strong on his skates as he does.

    First course of action is to amnesty the Bryzgalov contract.

    My bad, contract buyouts(2 max) cannot start until beginning of next year.
    So Bryz gets another year to show something.

    I don't know if they do this. Who would they get to start? I think Pronger gets bought out to save the cap space that they will need to sign some players.

    I don't know who else they drop.

    here is a question can they buy out Bryz and then sign him again for less money and a shorter contract?

    They will not buyout Pronged. They will still be able to keep him on the LTIR list. He will only count against the cap in the summer. Once the season begins next year his money comes off the books.

    thats true but you know they have to buy out some players so who do they buy out?
  • MayDay10MayDay10 Posts: 11,672
    no word on LTIR yet. Seems like they attacked every loophole, so I wouldnt be surprised if they limited that as well.

    It may be cheaper for them to just buy Pronger out anyways. Im not sure if there is anyone they will really want to buy out after Bryzgalov. Seems like a slam dunk, those 2.


    Sabres fans are calling for the buyout of Leino
  • chromiamchromiam Posts: 4,114
    Players on LTIR cannot be bought out of their contracts (at least that's what I have heard).
    And as for the LTIR being limited as a loophole, I don't see how that is possible, since its not really a loophole. If a player is injured and cannot play, then there is nothing the team, player, or league can do to remedy the situation, other than allow teams some cap flexibility, as they do now. Players are checked periodically by an independent doctor who accesses whether the player is fit to play or not.

    As for who to buyout, well the obvious candidate is Brzygalov if he has a bad year. The only other two that stand out are Briere and Mez. Briere is 35 with one year left at 6.5mil and Mez has one year at 4mil left, other than that, no one really makes any sense to buyout instead of trying to trade.
