@flyrrs Players don't just automatically reach offer sheet eligible. The Flyers would have to fail at resigning him (basically making the same mistake as ANA). Why would they do that?
@nhl_review He obviously has a high chance of leaving in 5 years since he’s signing offers elsewhere now so is that really the “backbone of the franchise and future captain”? Maybe the backbone for 5 years and the future captain of another team.
@MinkaB6170 He may end up screwing the Flyers tho if ANA doesn’t match and in the next 5 years he doesn’t become worth the ridiculous cap hit for 1 player.
@ReindeerGames91 Whoever would pay a very underwhelming Mintyukov 7-9.5 million is only doing Anaheim a favor by giving them picks while WAY overpaying for a 3rd pair D-man. He’s probably 2nd pair on ANA but that’s only because their d core is so bad.
@project_hockey He’s very good, great hands, moves, technique, etc. He’s NOT the best player in the world, however, and it’s doubtful he ever will be. Shouldn’t be getting paid more than numerous better players who have earned it through REAL production, not everyone’s hope of what could be.
@mikaylaaaa777 Not only that, but believe it or not Boldy had as high of a faceoff % as Carlsson (who is supposed to be a #1 C) and Boldy had 60 hits to 14. How does a kid as big as Leo only get 14 hits in a season?
