I love TK but that’s a lot.

South of 9. Not going to get better than that. I think it’s a fine signing, but I want to see DH’s take.
For those unaware, this is a call to arms for u/DH28hockey. Vote for him for Hoagie Hall.
To be clear, I would’ve preferred a trade, but that requires a willing partner and a sensible offer on both sides.
Also, if you think signing TK is the death of this team, please just block me and move on.

Love the guy but sheeeeeeesh, i dunno.

One year into a “rebuild,” without a 1C or 1D in the pipeline, and Briere is re-signing TK until he’s 36. It was never a rebuild.
The Flyers just can’t fathom ever taking a serious step back in order to build for the future. Always need instant gratification.

Im just happy it’s under 9 tbh
Flyersandcaps
Should be fun for five or six years and then… would have preferred no extension and a deadline trade. But so be it.
HockeyNut2
I love it. That guy is a Flyer and he earned it.

I think Michkov coming early changed everything. If Michkov was still 2 years away, I don’t think they do this. I think Travis would’ve been traded.

Very happy about this. The right side is set in Philly and will be one of the best 1 2 punch wingers in the league.
RebuildFletcher
Conflicted about this. They are obviously banking on him aging like a fine wine. Age 28-36 contract isn’t crazy. $8.75M… I think it’s a fair deal, possibly a slight overpay but definitely in the ballpark. I just personally feel like this is adding unnecessary risk in a Championship window down the road. We are what, 3-4 well executed seasons away from being competetive. Usually these 8-year contracts are signed because you are contenders right now and the back-end of that deal doesn’t really matter. Here you will get his prime years during a rebuild, and the later years in a window of contention. Love the player, don’t love the risk factor involved.

I’m not upset but I’m not foolish enough to think they’re actually rebuilding. Can’t wait to see what the plan is for this team to get to where they need to be.

It’s a good contract. Hes better than mostly everyone who got 8mil AAV this offseason and the cap will go up further next year. Under 9 is solid. The term is a little long but not a total deal breaker given what the cap should be in 6-8 years you can easily retain half and trade him if need be.

Man this sub has become such a negative place. Every move is followed by “this team can’t do anything right”. Michkov is here – you aren’t going to stash your best prospect who came 2-3 years early on a team that’s tanking for the 1st pick in the draft. The rebuild has to be sped up.
CybertronGuy98
I’ll take south of 9 tbh. Would have preferred 6 years instead of 8 but, Danny really hasn’t done anything so far to give me too much cause for concern. Now Scott on the other hand, I love Laughton but, better flip him at the deadline
coolco
I love TK glad he was signed happy for him! He will have a Marchand type career and you will all eat your words!
EatUpBonehead
Fuck yeah. Flyer for life hopefully.
RPM021
Worth it. He’s going to have the C much quicker than we’re all expecting.
TK is the literal definition of a Philadelphia Flyer, and exactly who I think Torts believes TK to be the type of player he would’ve been on the ice.
Bug--Man
How cool is it to know you get the stability of 9 years. Pumped to have koneckny for the long haul
Careless-Pattern1690
TK, Michkov, Tippett, and Foerster. I think this teams gonna be a force as soon as Michkov matures into an NHL player
Gamingnerd10
Mitchkov – Coots – TK Tippett – Frost – Foerster
Love that top 6

I wasn’t done being Gay 4 TK anyways.
datyoungknockoutkid
Whooooole lotta bitching in this thread for a deal that really isn’t too bad.
andrewskdr
Good deal TK is a beast
flyersnstuff
This is how I’m looking at it: after this season’s free agency, it’s clear middle-six forwards are gonna get paid handsomely on the open market. So either the Flyers give it to Konecny now or they give 5-7 years to another guy a couple seasons from now with a comparable AAV.
I don’t think I’d necessarily want to do either, but I’ll take the guy that I know works in this system, city, team etc. over a Chandler Stephenson, Jake DeBrusk, Sean Monahan even if Konecny will make a little more.
ThadTheImpalzord
Finally!! We don’t have to see all these trade TK posts anymore
crafbicycle
Voracek and Giroux signed nearly identical contracts to each other 8 and 10 years ago respectively, both around 8.2. At the time of signing, Giroux’s was 12% and Jakes was 11.2%; TK’s is 10% and doesn’t start until next year with a rising cap while overproducing Voracek prior to signing and doing so with nearly 0 supporting cast. This is a fair value contract for the impact TK actual has on our hockey team imo
