  1. That’s a fantastic price to get such a force of nature. If he continues improving as he has this could be one of the best deals around

  2. luckytaurus

    This could be a steal, like when Couts was only making 3.9m or something insanely low lol

    Danny keeping that ginger/23 stat right up where it needs to be. Couldn’t be more pleased, LFG

    Well this is fantastic. This will end up being a steal. 👏

    This is awesome. I really think he’s beginning to believe – and could end up being like a 40g, 70/80 point guy.

    Wow that is a really good contract, he has shown this year that he is starting to play at a higher level

    So funny, I was jawing with a guy in a trade thread and he said we should trade Owen Tippett because we have Gauthier and Michkov coming. I said, Why would we trade a guy who’s showing he can be a regular 25-30 goal scorer? That was before he really dazzled and showed off the rockets too. I’m chuffed!

    I am so good with this!!!

    Also, fuck the asshole in this sub last week who said that Tippett would test the waters of restricted free agency before signing. That literally almost never happens in this league

  9. Tippett: sick spin-o-rama goal

    Briere: take my money

    Flyers getting locked up all week! /s

    Let’s goo! This is a great deal, and if he becomes the player we’ve seen the last month consistently then it becomes a phenomenal deal.

  11. No guarantees that Tippett continues to develop but this could end up being a fantastic move by Briere.

    Looking ahead …

    • Fingers crossed that Michkov makes it to Philly.
    • Drysdale stays healthy and develops into a solid 1st pairing D.
    • Brier continues to work his magic with trades to get more picks and then selects the right players with the treasure trove of picks over the next couple of years.

    No question that the Gauthier and Hart situations are not optimal for a team in a rebuild but I see great promise so far from this management team.

    Fingers crossed …

    Hell yeah, can’t wait to watch him skate his lap with the Cup

  13. SanePatrickBateman

    Very reasonable, especially if he has another level to his game.

  14. Streetkillz13

    Even if he’s maxed out his potential and this is the player that Owen is the rest of his career, it’s a really good deal. But to be honest, I don’t think we’ve seen the best of Tippett just yet.

    The cap going up 30 goal scorers are going to start commanding 7 million on average, most of them actually already do. Plus this also gives us clarity that Owen is going to be here as part of the Michkov era. Now we just need to see if Frost, TK, and some of our other fringe core pieces have what it takes to stick around, or if we need to make a trade to acquire young Center as the final piece of this core.
