I appreciate that the Flyers are trying to have a worse offseason than the Penguins to make us feel better about that godawful playoffs. Thanks Philly

Looks like Markov will be a career Hab

Looks like Markov will be a career Hab

But for how much?

All we know is length.

Edit: 5.75 aav

 

[Solo]

Same as the past 3 seasons

 

[Samyy]

Thats a lot for Markov damn
Isnt he like 36?

 

[bonesmccoy]

For some reason I think of Hartnell as being a negative presence in the locker room. Is that accurate at all, Flyers-GAF?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The way he plays age is less a factor. You won't see him get physical so there is a lot less wear on his body.

I've never heard anything about this.

 

[MetatronM]

So at Mats Zuccarello's charity game in Norway this past weekend, Patrick Thoresen decided to imitate Zucc. It's pretty spot on.

Thanks, jello. I don't know where that idea came from.

Markov's deal seems fine.

He's not a negative locker room guy... unless you think his lack of discipline on the ice is contagious. He's the king of stupid penalties. e.g. weakly spearing a Carolina player in meaningless game 82.

"Talk going around is Scott Hartnell requested
Flyers trade him. Has no-movement clause."

[Lone_Prodigy]

oh yeah canucks have a coach, willie desjardins

My expectations for next season are pretty low but it's good to see the Canucks have solid personnel in place for the next few years.

Looks like Blue Jackets win that trade short-term but long-term the Flyers will be better off without an aging Hartnell's contract.

 

[yyzjohn]

Good to finally see some hockey related moves. GMs are getting into full swing before the draft this week. Should be a fun time.

If this is true, why move him for someone who was possibly being bought out?

This trade is just awful.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I don't ever post here, but I am so fucking happy the worthless sack of shit known as Scott Hartnell is no longer on the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care if it's a bad trade or what, I'm just so excited I don't have to see his stupid face falling down for the umpteenth time for the rest of my life!

Harts for Clarks

Columbus weren't going to pay him $9 million not to play. Harnell had a full NMC and controlled where he would go.

I'm still basking in the glory of a Hartnell-less Flyers team.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Hope Markovs body can handle another 3 years. I imagine in year 3 his role will just be a PP specialist.

Pretty much. Hopefully Tinordi and/or Beaulieu can become legit NHLers and lighten his load.

I'm aware of Hartnell's NMC. but WHY Bumberger. It makes no sense. I would have been happier with picks instead if they're gonna keep him.

 

[Fata1moose]

1m Patrick Roy "confident things will go well" with Stastny and O'Reilly

I feel Roy is probably confident about everything.

 

[BigJonsson]

Hall of Fame time

 

[Fata1moose]

Foppa better get in on first ballot.

 

[BigJonsson]

Rob Blake
Peter Forsberg
Dominik Hasek
Mike Modano

Pat Burns....finally

Bill McCreary

 

[Fata1moose]

Glad that Burns finally got in, should have happened already though.

Happy for Forsberg and Blake, kind of surprised Blake made it in on first year.

 

[Solo]

That's a fucking SOLID 2014 class.

 

[ShaneB]

Terrific HoF class.

 

[Sheroking]

Yeah, that's a pretty insane class.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Pretty solid list of HOF contenders too:

Just listened to Hextall on 97.5 and he talked a lot about Umberger's verstaility, but also made it sound like BSchenn was the first choice for Giroux's left wing. He also brought up having to resign Voracek which makes me think they may consider buying out Umberger two years from now.

R.J. Umberger buyout from CapGeek.com

2016-17: $1,600,000
2017-18: $1,500,000

 

[Marvie_3]

fuck bill mccreary

 

[bonesmccoy]

Desjardins is 58!

[pringles]

Rob Blake
Peter Forsberg
Dominik Hasek
Mike Modano

Pat Burns....finally

Bill McCreary

Forsberg <3

The others are okay too I guess.

 

[Acid08]

Good for Blake.

And that Hartnell trade is ridic. Funny that he actually wanted to go to Columbus, such a change from years past. Their playoffs last year must have made a lot of guys impressed with that team.

 

[Fei]

Hasek. Undoubted GOAT goaltender.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

HASEK AND ALL AMERICAN HERO MIKE MODANO

BOTH RED WINGS FOR LIFE!!!

 

[Silexx]

fuck bill mccreary

No, fuck Hasek and his adductor.

 

[Razorskin]

HASEK AND ALL AMERICAN HERO MIKE MODANO

BOTH RED WINGS FOR LIFE!!!

Modano is Satan.
Modano is Bin Laden.
Modano is Lebron.

 

[Smiley90]

No kidding. Not just the team itself that's young and seems to do well without relying on superstars, but the fans seemed to be very into it too. Should be a good team/city to play for in the coming years.

 

[Cake Boss]

No, fuck Hasek and his adductor.

[Freyjadour]

Jarmo and Davidson are good people.

 

[Wingfan19]

I expect a full Don Quick statement to Pat Burns getting in to the HOF.

 

[Plinko]

That's an incredible HoF class.

McCreary, though. Never liked him.

 

[Sanjuro]

Burns should have been entered IMMEDIATELY after his passing.

 

[shadowkat]

Good for Burns. Should have been sooner.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

I expect a full Don Quick statement to Pat Burns getting in to the HOF.

As long as he doesn't bash Modano for not being a GOK.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Awesome HOF class.

Where does Hartnell slot in on the '16 - '17 Kings? Depth forward? Third line scoring?

 

[equippedwithtowel]

No complaints with the HOF class. Even if Hasek should have had another cup to add to that.
