Everyone of these deals makes me like the Letang one more and more.

*I liked it to begin with but it gets better.

Gudas extended for Flyers. 4 years @ 3.35mm.

Flyers gonna Flyer.

Note: like the Engelland deal, that's $3.5 mm per.

Not for nothing, but I believe it is $3.35 million per. Either way, they replaced Luke Schenn. Another guy that runs around chasing hits. He's easy to isolate and expose. The beard itself is worth a buck and a half, but i'm not really a fan of his style of play or other D like him...positional integrity over big game hunting for me...

Whoops, I left the 3 out by mistake. Good catch.

I laughed out loud on the train this morning when I read this, adding in an "idiots". Not sure how I looked to those around me, but it was worth it.

When I read it last night, I litrally said "lolwut". My wife looked at me liked I was goofy.

You should read through the thread about this on /r/hockey. It's hilarious.

Elliotte Friedman
Rumbling: FLA preparing eight-year, $60M-ish extension for Aaron Ekblad. He can sign any time after July 1. Team and agent decline comment.

Bridge deal be damned I guess. Ekblad is good, but that's a lot of damn money.

Flyer fans will love the deal - but if the league attempts to follow suit for how the Penguins are built... well Philly... I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

I've been reading their forums all morning. They all seem to love the deal, and consider him a top-4 defenseman.

Yeah, I can't figure that out.

Their fans are as brain-dead as their management.

Nothing new here.

@MODS

What is the plan for the draft and free agency? This thread is already competing with the randomness one....it's already getting confusing.

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 4:59 pm

I created a draft thread, FWIW.

Postby **Fire0nIce228** » Sun Jun 26, 2016 5:18 pm

As a Penguins fan I love that Gudas deal...

Sid Geno Phil and the boys are smilin like butchers dogs at that one!

Don't care when it's not in the Pens section.
