Good teams have many good players. I think maybe this development changes the narrative around TK and the extension. Danny didn't poker face up too well when asked about Michkov. His comments about not being a competitive team yet were made after being asked about MM. I hope people don't freak out about MM's ELC, it's going to be high. For the same reason Fedotov's was high. Reimbursing the player for buying out a contract isn't cheap. I'm sure it is built into these Russian deals.

radoran Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Just now, mojo1917 said: Are you going somewhere? Eventually. "Dosvedanya" means "until we meet again" or "revisit this" among various meanings based upon the inflection and facial expression of the speaker, as Russian tends to be. We'll see how they decide to go. The New Era is still being built, comrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimbursing the player for buying out a contract isn't cheap. I'm sure it is built into these Russian deals. I am not sure what you mean. The ELC is dictated by the CBA. Thankfully the Flyers can't pay him whatever they want (or the salary would be $11M). Michkov's salary won't be an issue for the first three years he is here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 @SCFlyguy I mean, the 19-year-old isn't buying his way out of anything. Where's he getting the money? The Flyers will have to build reimbursement bonuses into his ELC. So, while the CBA sets the terms of ELCs This one is going to be near the high end of those ranges because of doing business in Russia. I don't know what will happen, I'll wait and see what actually happens before I make any judgements. I don't share your level of skepticism about what's happening. And that's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCFlyguy Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) @mojo1917SKA released Michkov from his contract. The only cap hit will be his rookie contract. Edited June 24 by SCFlyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers problem is they pay mediocre talent elite money in hopes that makes them elite. It doesn't. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's far from the only example of the Flyers doing this, though. They have a shameful tradition in arrogance and stupidity, in doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying high end talent what they're worth is a problem 100% of GMs are happy to deal with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I just hope this is the missing piece to help send them towards eventually winning it all. All i want before i leave this earth. A Stanley Cup win for the Flyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto12 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Is this a rebuild? Is Michkov here? If the answer to both is yes, then do what ever it takes to get Lindstrom. Kopecny, Drysdale, the 12th and 31st for Caleb. First line center fo a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be elated and enjoy but Lindros? That’s a stretch for me. Tap the brakes a bit. Even though it ended awfully he was a talent that we haven’t seen since. If he played in todays NHL, where his melon didn’t have a bullseye on it, I could see a statue outside the complex 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Hopefully we'll see more of Briere's vision at the draft this week because if the plan is Michkov is going to be the saviour and they aren't going to continue to build, then they're setting him up for failure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray every night that Danny B doesn't overvalue his assets and miss out on acquiring picks and prospects for the future. If he manages like they are a piece or 2 away then MM should just stay in Russia. We shall see in the next few days. Lets Go Oilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
