To clarify, does this mean that the Flyers won't have to count his $3 million against the summer cap?
- LeachHextall27

In Dreger's (old) report, yes.

CapGeek has a conflicting take on the contract.

K cuz I don't.

Edit: FWIW he was good not great. The Flyers kept everything to the perimeter for him through 90% of the montreal series. Their Shot totals weren't exactly staggering and they are hardly offensively gifted that year. So he did what was asked off him but when Montreal turned up the heat he was mediocre against a mediocre offense.

I've yet to see Bryzgalov be mediocre against a mediocre offense in the playoffs. Even the Devils of this year were leaps and bounds ahead of that team.

That same Montreal team that knocked out the #1 Caps and #4 Pens as an 8 seed? Once again everyone else did great but Leighton, got it!

Annie, I was surprised he was still only 22, it seems the Leafs treated him oddly this year considering his stage of development. I promise to be nice to him (I don't boo anyone but the really bad guy visitors and maybe a ref or two). And hitting will make him popular here, unless there is need for a new whipping boy. With Carle likely to remain, I believe he's safe.
- bodiva88

Agree. Carle, with a fat new deal will have the target. Plus, Schenn fights and hits. There are a few that don't like it that Matty doesn't fight and isn't a big hitter. Ya see, dey like like der D men to be ruff and tumble.

I'm not so sure about that. Who would want to come here and sign a long term deal? Track record is that you will be traded..
- Jimmygrazz

True, but you're getting that money guaranteed, so even though you might get flipped for something else, you're getting paid. Thats probably why none of the players have dissed Holmgren when they left, cause they got contracts that maybe other organizations wouldn't have given them.

That's not what I said at all. The Flyers got an ideal matchup in that series. Did Leighton knockout those teams? No he didn't so it's got nothing to do with him. In fact we'll never know how he would matched up to those other teams because he didn't play them. That Montreal team reminded me a bit of this year's Rangers team if anything and I think we can mostly agree they matched up better with some teams then they did others.

Absolutely Voracek has the scoring ability to be a scoring Winger. Take a look around the League. Tell me how many teams had 4 Wingers who each scored more then 18 goals?

You look it up.

Also included in 2 of the 3 players contracts I think? Only reason JVR didnt have one was he was too young? The Flyers take care of their guys, other players in the league know this. Yea you could get traded, but you're getting compensated somehow

kid's got it.

- stveshdy

I believe I posted a video of him making a great play similar to the one the other guy did. But that's okay grass is greener in Anaheim.

You look it up.
- RooNosHockey

I already know the answer. And I already know that Voracek has enough scoring ability to be a scoring line Winger.
