DET wasnt going to qualify him for 4M. it was this or lose him for nothing.

Wow. I'm surprised.

Also, he's still quite young at 26. If he does well maybe he gets into the mix long term? Elliott and mrazek?

Yeah he's basically a pending UFA with that qualifying offer attached to him.

Ok, so what are we getting here? Give us the straight dope.

Would that suggest we are going to try make another trade? Why else would we need to save cap space for a RFA?
- Buzzo

It’s odd. I guess Hexy just wants to leave options open? Definitely odd as it upped the compensation

Mrazek woooooooo.

I imagine the conditional 3rd next year is if we extend him. And the 4th May be number of games he plays for us this year.
- hereticpride

Neuvirth could also be going to the ir and potentially Elliot as well. Which would open up the necessary roster spots

What do you think. One condition being how far they get in the playoffs and another if he resigns (or traded maybe). I'd bet there's a good chance it doesn't end up 4/3

yeah, probably something like that...that's fine. i don't really care what they are. i feel much better right now. and i'm (frank)ing pumped for lindblob.

Capfriendly doesn't have anything for Lindblom and it's making me sad

They wanted a goalie to tandem with Elliott. Mrazek is a much better option that regard then an injury prone Neuvirth.

BGMRH needs to make a deal for a goalie or else he should just resign.

BGMRH gave up too much for a goalie, he should just resign.

In hextall I trust. If he deems it prudent to send picks, there's a reason.

hes ok. i mean, he played on a poopty team all season with a crap defense in front of him. let's see what he can do on a better team.

Do they get someone to take neuvy or bury him? I don't like the idea of letting mrazek walk and wonder if they want to pay him 4 mil to qualify.

Honestly I think Neuvirth is a better goalie when he is healthy. Problem is that he never is. Neuvirth could be done though so who really knows at this point. Mrazek is probably the most consistently talented goalie that was available

wings fanbase seems kinda divided on him. Some think this is a steal for Philly and others are happy he's gone.

He's 26 he fits the timeline as a bridge. Elliot only 1 year left on deal same with neuvy. I think it all depends on how our trial run goes

I think both goalies are headed to ir tbh. Elliot retro active

I now believe Neuvirth has played his last game in a Flyers jersey.

- Hextall271

The reason was tomorrow night, our backup was the house goalie.

totally fine with this trade. we got lots of picks

also did lindblom get called up? who got injured

Yeah I mean news of him being called up

He's the red wings Steve mason

I imagine they try to find a taker for Neuvirth. I also imagine they won't find any.

I just hope their thread has an MJL so we can get to the bottom of who’s right
