Brayden Schenn and Meszaros for Ladislav Smid and a 2nd rounder
Scott Laughton, our 1st and our 2nd for Justin Faulk
Timonen - Streit
Coburn - Faulk
Grossmann - Schenn
Gustafsson, Gervais, Bourdon
might as well order my #48 jersey tomorrow
The only thing I would be pissed about if I was Briere is that he, and his agent, probably wishes the Flyers bought him out last summer.
If he was 34 signing a new contract he would have got paid a hell of a lot more than he will now on a 35+ contract.
Taken from capgeek.com
WHAT'S A 35-PLUS CONTRACT
Players who sign multi-year contracts when they are age 35 or older (calculated on June 30 of the season the contract begins) count toward the cap under all circumstances, regardless of where (or if) the player is playing.
----
A 35+ contract carries more risk because the team that signs the player is stuck with their cap hit even if the player retires. A bigger risk = a lesser payday.
Thanks Guru....I see your point, and its valid, but I only think its in play if you are talking about superstars that are going to command a contract that takes them to retirement. I could be wrong, but I think Briere is looking at a 3 year contract at best......similar to what Gonchar has been through ..... I think Briere getting bought out, combined with his new contract, is a great scenario for him.....
I agree, I also think Briere getting bought out, combined with his new contract is a great scenario....
I just think if it was a year earlier it would have been the best scenario.
He might of, could of, gotten an extra year or two on his next contract which would translate to another 4-6M I would assume.
...We will find out soon enough I am sure.....Thanks for your clarification
Under the old CBA there was no reason to buy out Briere, he would have finished his contract in Philly at the least. If they bought him out under that CBA he would have been confused. The fans and media would have been shocked and outraged that such a dedicated playoff warrior was cut from the team.
But things change and to move forward you can't resent the past. Danny will still land a good contract and it will be supplemented by his buyout funds. Whether it means the difference between a 3 and a 5 year deal I certainly don't feel sorry for him. As far as being on the raw end of a business deal he is still going to come out of it very well. I get the vibe that he understands, respects, and appreciates the state of things. He's along for the ride!

This is an older post, yet it seems that the ball of the future for Bryz has been in his own court for some time now.
The writing was on the wall

You're comparing Philly throwing out ridiculous contracts (35+) to other teams?
