Hayton now has a one-year, $4.775M contract and cannot be traded until next July, after he is scheduled to become a UFA
Any player signed to a one-year contract is eligible to extend after Jan. 1, though
@billmeltzer Not to mention the bonus structure of the contract. 95% of the payout is on July 1st as a lump sum. $19m in cash paid out in a single day on an ANNUAL operating income of $26m is a huge strain on cash flow.
Foerster said he never curious about testing RFA market in a year. "I'm not in this for the money." Said he's happy in Philly -- it's where he wants to be and where he wants to win.
I’m told the Anaheim Ducks have went to the NHL in search of an additional compensatory first round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers for the Leo Carlsson offer sheet
Verbeek believes the Ducks are entitled to the additional first as Carlsson will have the highest AAV in the NHL
We have tendered an offer sheet to Anaheim center Leo Carlsson. The offer is a five-year contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $18M, which would require four of the Flyers first-round draft picks in each of the next four seasons as compensation. https://t.co/nfhD4h6nEc
Pat Verbeek's "I'm going to jerk around my RFA's until the very last minute because what are you gonna do, offer sheet them?" approach has finally backfired.
@BraggingRtsSpts@FlyersAnt Bedard is a tougher call because there isn’t another guy emerging in Chicago (yet) and they have the cap to match. At least Anaheim has Gauthier to worry about if they don’t match Carlsson.
@cocombatsports@SleeperNHL Do you get that capital up front if Anaheim doesn’t match? Or does Philly get to control within the next 5 seasons which 1sts are surrendered? I know that it has to be our firsts and not acquired from other teams
