Today is the day! Flyers training camp has begun and Ivan Provorov is in attendance! Last night, just in the nick of time, Provorov signed a six year contract worth $6.75 million AAV. Generally, this contract has been regarded as a good one, we broke it down this morning. So while this is all exciting…
Earlier in the offseason, our very own Kurt wrote a piece projecting what Ivan Provorov’s contract extension could look like. There were questions about potentially bridging Provorov, and conflicting information about the AAV ask from Provorov’s agent led to more questions than answers. However, we finally have a resolution to this long drawn out negotiation,…
TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported earlier in the day that the Flyers and restricted free agent defenseman Ivan Provorov were close to an extension, and that the deal could be close to done. Now, McKenzie reports the Flyers have indeed signed the blueliner to a six year extension. Sounds like PHI and RFA D Ivan Provorov…
Perhaps you’ve heard, training camp is happening and Travis Konecny does not have a contract. This is a thing that is happening. And it’s not as though we’re still stuck in this impasse period where absolutely no RFAs are signing. Things are starting to move and the market is being further set, but there’s still…
All is not quiet on the RFA front, I don’t know if you have heard but some dude named Mitch Marner has signed a contract with the :checks notes: Toronto Maple Leafs. Hm. That seems like a big deal, I wonder if people are talking about it? I kid, I kid. Of course people are…
Hello friends! It’s been a long while since we’ve done one of these, but Philadelphia Flyers hockey is finally here (sort of) with tonight’s preseason tilt vs. the New York Islanders. This technically will be the second time these two teams will have played each other this preseason, with the rookie game vs. New York…
If you’ll excuse me for a second … FINALLY!!! Alright, that’s better. The Philadelphia Flyers have extended forward Travis Konecny to a six year $33 million contract giving him an AAV of $5.5 million over those six seasons. After extending Ivan Provorov last Thursday, we wondered how long until the Konecny deal would be reached,…
We’re back, folks! We had our first taste of hockey last week with the rookie game up in Allentown, but the preseason officially kicked off last night in Philly, and it’s all becoming really real. And, because the Flyers really are back, they brought sort of a messy game and dropped their first one at…
Hockey is officially back at the Wells Fargo Center as the preseason kicked off against the Islanders on Monday night. James van Riemsdyk was the lone scorer for the Orange and Black as he got on the board early in the second period, hoping to shift some momentum. It wouldn’t be enough as the Flyers…
First period Brian Elliott ceremoniously welcomes the preseason with an audible fart on a Thomas Hickey point shot as the Islanders jump out to a 1-0 lead early. Remember, these games are much like the points on Whose Line is it Anyways, and while they don’t count, it didn’t make this duck from the point…
