Emery has been to a SCF and in his rookie season he (Boucher) carried the Flyers to the ECF, went up 3-1 on the Devils and Eric Lindros came back and shit all over the team. Clarke did his usual dump the young guy for an old over the hill goalie. If they get an average effort from their goalies, I think the Flyers will be fine. |

Out of that batch, Exelby can be a seventh or eighth guy. They probably trade Van Ryn just to dump his salary. Frogren probably gets cut or sent down. And White can play forward if he needs to. Or you just do the obvious: trade Kaberle for a top line forward. (Note in case Brian Burke is reading this: a "forward" is like a defenceman, but he plays further up.)

From that group, I'd say he's your fifth or sixth guy (on a Burke team). To be honest, with some time to reflect, I really don't like the deal for Atlanta & wish they hadn't done it. A lot of night XLB was one of the few guys in blue who had a pulse and I expect we'll be looking to flip Kubina for somebody else's prospects by the deadline.

Cam Barker 3 years /$9.25M
What kind of room are the Hawks going to have next season to extend Toews and Kane?

Good luck with that. He has a NTC and refused to waive at each of the last two deadlines.

In that case we'll probably end up paying him to sit, just as it seems we've done with every other veteran defensemen we've brought in.

The last two...I would've expected all the hype around this guy to net him at least a few million a year for 3 years.

I'm glad to hear the Monster went to Toronto. I like it when the Maple Leafs are interesting and it's been a while since they were initeresting.
Burke, Wilson, the Goon Squad, the Monster, no forwards to speak of... Good times!

I don't know if Campbell is truculent enough to match the new Maple Leafs mold though. He's great at spin-o-rama-ing himself out of the play in a playoff game though.

dola, i guess it is, if you entered the league at 18 (isnt it 7 years of being in the nhl or being 27 years old, whichever comes first?).
still makes no sense for someone not in the league. |

So Pronger has already signed an extension with the Flyers. So, he's basically a Flyer for life. That's good. He belongs there. I am happy to see him in the East.
The Flyers, where old, giant hulking defensemen go when they get old. (see, e.g., Rathje, Mike; Hatcher, Derian).

Though I've despised the Avalanche for many years, I've always had tons of respect for Joe as a player.
First-ballot HoF for sure.

Was texting Sak about this. I trust the Flyers did their homework on this, but could be interesting. Players over age 35 who sign multiyear deals, all those years count against the cap. Period. Pronger is 34 now. But, he's got a year left on his current deal, this new 7 years is an extension. Does it count when he signs it (34) or when the new deal starts (35)? Again, I'll assume the Flyers checked this all out...but would be funny as hell if it's the 2nd option.

That's too bad. He had a great career. He was the one player who always kept me from completely and utterly hating the Avalanche back in the day.

The League Year starts on July 1. Pronger's extension is effective July 1, 2010, which would suggest that what matters is his age as of June 30, 2010. Which is 35. I'm assuming that I'm reading all this wrong, since the Flyers couldn't possibly make a mistake like that.

Yeah maybe by then the Devils will have some offense to actually do something. The 7 years was to get the cap hit down. So when you look at it the Flyers are paying Kimmo and Pronger the same as the Rangers are paying Redden and Rozsival . Last edited by Dr. Sak : 07-07-2009 at 08:01 PM. |

Reading through most of the HF thread about Pronger, the consensus seems to be Philly is on the hook for $5M a year against the cap for the term of the deal-- through 2017.
The few twists that could occur: LTIR-- also known as "The Rathje" Trading the cap hit to a team with space while sweetening the deal with a pick-- also known as "The Malakhov" Sent to the minors-- savings of $100K per year, cap hit only $4.9M through 2017. Also reading in there, the deal is on the books as $34.4M, but also includes incentives that could make it worth up to $43.9M, making the potential dead cap hit $6.2M. Confirmed Signing with Link: Chris Pronger signs 7 year extension with Philadelphia (35 million) - HFBoards

Reading the CBA though, it's not his age the day he signed the contract, it's his age as of June 30 of the league year. In this case, league year 09-10. And on 6/30/10, he's 35.

SR I'll bet you your tickets to a Flyers game next year that if Pronger retires it comes off the cap. You win I pay for your two tix...I win...I get your 2 tix.

Deal. Though, I don't know for certain I have a PIT-PHI game, but I'd be 99.9999% sure I've got to have one. I would tend to agree that Flyers front office would have looked into this...but everything I've read so far says differently.

Just for entertainment value, the best-case scenario is for the cap hit to count, but for Philly to have mistakingly thought that it didn't.

Given this fact... Quote:
It really sounds like the evidence is mounting in support of the best-case scenario. More evidence in favor of the "best-case scenario." NHL's Billy Daly has confirmed that the entire value of the contract will count against the cap.

How can that be Pronger's year-by-year deal, though? I thought the CBA said that salary could only drop 50% year-to-year?

That's a good question. I just looked at Zetterberg's, Franzen's and Hossa's contracts on nhlnumbers.com. Near the end of their deals, both Zetterberg's and Hossa's contracts fall by more than 50%. Zetterberg's goes from $3.5 or so to $1 and Hossa's goes from $4 to $1 in one year. Franzen's declines more gradually, never being reduced by more than 50%.
