Samifan Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Excellent contract. Wonder if Hextall or Homer drew up the terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Happy to have him. That just about locks up nine forward spots for the next two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Excellent contract. Wonder if Hextall or Homer drew up the terms Whether or not there is a NMC will be the telltale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Good deal. Versatile guy, seems like I never see him coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Anytime you can fill a top 9 forward slot for just over a million a year, it's a terrific bargain. The great part is he will progress and evolve over these two years he is signed for so cheap, he should show continued upward trends in goals, pts, play away from the puck. A real life diamond in the rough, great job by Homer and his scouts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
off_the_post Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Excellent signing. I thought he could have asked for $1.5m per season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanflyer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Whether or not there is a NMC will be the telltale. Well, hopefully we can presume there was not any 2nd rounders involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Excellent signing. I thought he could have asked for $1.5m per season though. I agree. Yet, he wasn't even playing in the Swedish Elite league when he signed with the Flyers. I would like to know who scouted him!? His type of pick ups only seem to happen to the Red Wings.

jammer2 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 @Vanflyer Both Dave Brown (director of player personnel) and Illka Sinasalo get the credit, both seen him at the World Championships last year. Apparently, there was a bidding war that came down to Nashville and Philly. Perhaps the Weber offer sheet damaged the Preds ability to compete for Raffl, if so, a double win for Homer here. http://flyers.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=18144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Love it. Really nice deal for a solid top 9 forward who can play all positions and is a strength defensively.Kinda leaves me scratching my head as to why B Schenn is without a contract. I'm hoping it's because Holmgren wanted to wait and see how he progresses throughout the year before signing him. His gritty game becomes more valuable come playoff time IMO.
