I agree, Twitter is blowing up in negativity however.

They were probably so impressed by the way he protected the net last night.

definitely a nice signing by the flyers. hes been pretty decent this year for a supposed plug depth guy at the beginning of the year.

and only 2 years on the term too. very nice.

If they get MDZ signed at around the same number, they have a 2nd pairing at $4.5M for next two years. Not the ideal 2nd pair, but those two have outplayed everyone else.

Number is manageable too if they want to flip Schultz next season or the season after

Ok so I was at a meeting and came back to my office and WIP was still on (I turn it off at 1 because of Josh and Bruno) and Bruno and Josh are talking about how they signed the young Schultz at a good rate which he has no problem with because there is upside

and click, switched quickly to Sirius

Very happy with the Schultz deal, only 2 years and a very reasonable cap hit. Well done Hexy!

Indeed. Schultz's usage and possession stats this season are similar to Couturier's, so the extension is very reasonable.

Schultz has played well, fair deal for both sides.

If Hextall doesn't move out a few dmen at the deadline, I'm concerned it's going to be the same blueline again next year. Which they aren't going to be able to sell to anyone.

Also considering how god awful he looked in preseason, his play has been a really nice surprise.

I know you're just trolling but they should seriously be looking at options for moving a couple of those guys.

I think one of these will be gone at TDL and another at the draft.

I doubt AMac is the one that gets moved, though.

personally think we should trade as many as these guys as we can, perhaps package with B schenn for young talented defensemen, and then with that money freed up with these trades sign forwards via free agency, only problem is can't think of any good wingers to bring in that could work for us production and salary wise.
