Flyers have 0 interest.

Fletch really hit it out of the park with Hayes last summer.

The Provy and TK deals were master strokes.

Salary cap room to re-up future stars of Hart Lindblom Frost Farabee Sanheim Patrick...well on track. Sht load of money to re-sign G snd Coots in 2 years.

Great job Chuck. You’re putting some finishing touches on a multi-cup champion.

Thank you.

The only strokes Fletch is getting are you stroking his wang. No really. Does he prefer the completely vertical approach or the 45 degree incline?

The contracts given to JVR and Hayes were awful at the time, and look even worse now. Huge money for two mediocre talents. Very Flyers-y move.

JvR, yeah, but although the Hayes deal was frowned upon heavily at the time, has been lauded as a huge success since. He was a major cog in the team, value only rivaled by Couturier and Provorov this season.

In a few years this will likely change, but as of right now, you’re wrong about that one. I have to admit it. I was, too. I hated it at the time. But he earned that cash this season.

Seven seasons at 7.1M for a 28 year old who has never eclipsed 50 pts. Another contract that makes you wonder why teams spend valuable cap dollars on ufa's. Five years at most then let him walk at 33/34

Nah, it’s a bad deal. He’s a 45-point guy, and that production will decline in each of the next six seasons. In 2023, that’ll be one of the league’s worst contracts

He’s not s production guy...he’s a 200 footer...up by 1...down by 1...last 2 minutes type of player...added bonus...we can actually score short-handed again (not since the days of the great mike richards!!!)...

We got danglers...we got finesse...and there’s so much more on the way...

Chrst...kyle dinkus has to give up 1st round draft picks just TO GET RID OF SHTTY WASHED UP OLD FARTS!!!

Leafs fans = all-star losers!!!

LET’S GO FLYERS !! !!!

Thanks for agreeing with me...Hayes is 34 when deal is done...according to my calculation...

That’s 2.8 cups later...let’s round it up to 3.

Again...thanks for agreeing!!

How does a team win 2.8 Cups exactly? Are you talking about the 1999 Dallas Stars?

He got the 7 year contract when he was 27 and eclipsed 50 points last year.

They gave him a lot, but the contract wasn't awful when they cap was still going up every year.

I think you're an expert on this. How's your dangling though? Amazing Double Punch? Brokeback Brucey? Wait, Chuck was in a beauty contest?
