Ooof. Briere might be bad at his job
This seems like massive overpay for a 2 game sample size in the NHL.
There is a report that the contract was agreed before Ivan even left Russia. So take that how you will, might not be based on the two game sample size.
Oh my sweet Jesus that’s a lot of money for that guy.
Good move, we need goalie depth
AAV is pretty stunning but the goalie FA market is pretty barren this summer.
Kind-of funny/par for course to see the same people thet clamored for him to start as soon as he arrived are the loudest in protest about this. (That’s not directed at anyone here btw)
Lol what
Horrendous work by Briere. The better goalie, Ersson, is now going to demand a lot more too when his current contract expires.
It’s a bit high, but give him time to get used to his teammates and the NA game. He will be good. It’s not like we are in win now mode at the moment, so Errson and Fedotov could well be a solid tandem next season.
I like it. Don’t overreact in October when he’s not playing up to this number. He’s going to be a solid tender towards the second half of the year.
I mean it’s only 2 years and worth the risk. Might be higher than expected, but doesn’t break the bank.
I’m not pressed about any $$$ value given out if the contract expires before michkov gets here
give tk 15m aav x 2
this does answer my question tho about whether or not we would see another goalie in free agency, I expect next year to have a huge woe in our save%
The overreactions are insane. Both years the 3.25 will be charged are years that the team won’t be contending. It’s a non issue.
The AAV is a bit higher than expected but in the grand scheme of things, it won’t really matter or have a meaningful impact. This was apparently their agreed-upon extension before he came over.
Wooooo. Cap is supposed to be going up with in the next year or 2 isn’t it?
Literally ideal. Dudes already proven and has shown promise already in just 2 games. Being a literal giant helps too.
Okay isn’t Errson making the league minimum or something? So we’ve got 4 mil yearly locked up for our goaltenders. Not an issue.
Yeah it’s high, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable. At least not on a rebuild team. The guy has shown sustained elite play in the K for a while now. There’s a very real chance he can unseat Ersson by the time the contract is up. Plus, there’s stuff we might not know. Flyers may be doing Fedotov a solid by paying him a little extra to make up for the missed years.
Or if you really wanna get tinfoil hat about it, maybe this is the cost of getting a player out of their contract in Russia now. We all know Danny somehow worked behind the scenes to get Fedotov here. And we know that because of the current sanctions, the flyers couldn’t pay Russia directly, so they pay Fedotov double, then he gives half to his old league and everybody is happy. Total conjecture, but hell , if Michkov signs his ELC for 5 mil AAV I get to claim I figured it out first.
Ain’t my money. Wish him the best.
1.5 mil to be goalie, 1.75 mil to be Russian ambassador and get Michkov here a year early
This sub reddit is hilarious sometimes, you guys couldn’t wait for him to get here. Were super excited when he finally came over. Did he play lights out, no. Did they rest of team play great at the end, no. In saying all that, our two goalies for next year are making a combined 4.7 mil, that’s less the Cal Petersen!! Ivans deal is done in two years. If he shits the bed next year but him on waivers and send him, no harm no foul. The team as whole sucks and is not ready to contend, but still have to spend money.
I like it. The risk/reward seems pretty reasonable to me. I’ve seen money thrown around in much worse ways.
the guy has about a career .915 sv% in the KHL, lead his team to win the gagarin trophy, won goalie of the year, helped russia win silver in the olympics…. but somehow three million dollars is an overpay? would love to know what people who are saying that is too much wanted to give him or who they would’ve got with that type of money in the off season!
it’s a good investment, trust me as someone who watched him exclusively for 3 years. he is worth it.
very happy for him. he was in such a bad situation a few years ago, now he’s making bank in the NHL living in a cool city. hope he plays well.
people say this is a overpay but are fine when we pay 2M AAV to the Martin Jones of the world, he has real upside.
While I don’t love it, I understand it. This is cheaper than any other option available outside the organization and the term is manageable. NTM, he’s the largest goalie in history of the league. Best case he becomes an above average goalie, worst case he’s a 2-year stopgap.
It’s either an overpay that doesn’t affect the timeline or it turns out to be a really good deal for the Flyers. And the potential upside is there for him to be a good option. It’s not a terrible risk.
After what this dude has been through I have to imagine he’s not just going to sit on his laurels and collect a check. I have hope he’ll work his ass off to make the most of the opportunity.
We’ll see.
I think Feddy will wow us next season.
