If Brayden Schenn asks for 6 years 36 million what does Hextall do?
Trade him at draft for a top pick ?

It's not schenns fault. Hextall screwed it up paying a third line center second line center money.

Buying him out doesn't make sense. One more year and he's gone. Maybe he should just retire. I'm sure hextal will allow him to seek a trade this offseason and he'll see nobody would even take him at a huge discount.

However, I looked at our cap and it sits at 10 mil in space with a stagnant cap. Wtf. I've never seen this for the Flyers. Imagine moving streit. Or umberger. Or both !!!!! Omfg!!!!! Or mcdud. Lolololol.

Now off to find that new shiney object to spend millions on because we can.

Just buy him out. Be done with him. He's not worth the locker room stall. It's really not going to affect our cap

That's VDV's next contract.

I like Baby Schenn. I want him signed. 4-5 years, 4.5-4.75 would be preferable. Maybe touch 5, but then keep the years down. But he is not safe in my mind. IF there are offers out there, he might have some very high value right now. Maybe never higher. Hexy will do his diligence, even if he's resigned rather quickly.

Arbitration or package him with the 1st to move up. The former is about 500 times more likely

Possibility, but what's the cost? Schenn alone won't get it done. Schenn and 18th overall might not even get it done.

I watched Phantoms games for most of the year. He's solid. He'll do well in a more structured system with better players making better decisions. Not that it means anything but I said the same thing about Gostisbehere. You could see they were doing things and having to wait far too often for the players they were with on the ice to do the right thing/be in the right place.

I can't blame Umby for not retiring. I wouldn't give up $3 million either. Its good to clear the roster.

Myers with another assist tonight. 9 points in 12 playoff games his team looking like the frontrunner for the memorial cup. Well, his team or provorov's

Jacques Demers was a Canadian Senator, and a Stanley Cup winning coach, and the guy was illiterate.

3 games is absolute nonsense. The arbitrary nature of the NHL discipline system is a joke.

If he's not checking things out, Hexy isn't a good GM. Sure it's probably 85% likely, but it doesn't have the inevitability of the Couturier signing...or even Ghost's new contract this offseason...

Alls I'm saying is: listen to his demands, sniff out his league value, explore all avenues. I still think he's being signed.
