And I thought Hart's contract was rich. Shesterkin has started less than half as many games as Hart and has only one playoff appearance. His one full season as a starter was similar to Hart's first season in the NHL, when Hart was 20. Shesterkin is 25.

Yeah saw that contract and wondered wtf the rangers were doing offering him that.

I saw on Twitter he played at a high level in the KHL, but that often doesn't translate to the NHL. It's a pretty big risk IMO but maybe it works out 

Sanheim got a pretty high AAV after last year as well. $4.675 for 2. I think he's a solid top 4 so probably the going rate for that

Problem is he’s UFA after that deal is done.

Yea but I don't think he's a 6+ mil defenseman so hopefully it isn't too much of an issue. And by the time he's up again the flat cap should be done as well

Kevin Hayes' older brother, Jimmy Hayes, died at age 31.  No known cause of death being reported at this time.  Medics were called to his home where he was pronounced dead.  He played 7 NHL seasons (334 games) on 4 different teams registering 54 goals and 55 assists, last playing in 2019.  He is survived by his wife, 2 young sons, 4 siblings, and his parents.

Sounds like it could have been a stroke or aneurysm, maybe an undetected heart issue, if they weren't even in time to take him to a hospital.  Always hate to see someone so young leaving behind a family. 

 

Yandle is insurance if York isn't ready, brassard is insurance if frost isn't ready. If frost is ready, Thompson probably goes to Lehigh and brassard is 4c

Coots with the extension.

8 years at 7.75 mil 

 

Wow what a steal, that's an amazing AAV for someone whose game *should* age pretty gracefully. Not really predicated on speed or overwhelming strength, but good positioning and intelligence. Easy to build around

Seems like they went a little overboard on the Coots extension. AAV isn't bad, but it's got an NMC, and he'll be 37 when it ends. Typical Fletcher...

Think it's a full NMC for the first 3-4 years then it has a 10 team list. This is below market value, far below.

Wade Allison also got hurt today, hopefully it isn't serious 

 

 

Did Kevin Hayes pull a Scottie Pippen? Like did he just get hurt over the weekend or something or he’s getting the Medicals done on company time?

Doesn’t sound good.  Out indefinitely 

Robin lehner is accusing the flyers of drugging nolan patrick with non prescription ambien to help him sleep.  Some ugly accusations coming out.

The things:

1: Lehner has a history of bi-polar disorder. 
2: The Blackhawks organization literally covered up a chomo and absolutely nothing came of it. Non Rx Ambien is nothing compared to that.

Yea looking at his timeline i would assume he was off his medication or something because he is totally unhinged 

Lehner backtracking

 

I'm very late on this but I didn't know the tv deal the NHL made with ESPN got rid of nhl.tv, that has to he one of the worst decisions they could have made. Now you have to subscribe to ESPN+ and even then you're only going to get to watch 19 flyers games. This Fing blows, welp back to reddit streams for me
