I'm sorry but for $10m/yr, said player must be AT LEAST career PPG+ player for a forward an/or TOP-5 player for a defenseman... I mean I like TK as he would be an ideal 2nd line sniper for championship team but he is NOT worth $10 mill...Pls Danny no more throwing bad contracts like the past and if they're at an impasse then trade him because this NOT the right time for the Flyers to be investing that kinda money into a 3/4 ppg player...
Konecny tied for 59th in the league in scoring with 68 points, which was a career best. Paying him anything over 8 would be an overpay. And Anthony is wrong when he said "take a look at the production of guys like him and see what they're paid." Stutzle, Horvat, Kyrou and Larkin make between $8 and $8.8 mil a season and they're pretty comparable and they all have new deals. If Konecny gets something near that, then alright, but only 15 players in the NHL have contracts worth over $10 mil a season and paying Konecny as a top 15 player isn't a good contract. Also they are stacked at RW with Konecny, Tippett, Foerster, Hathaway and Michkov (maybe). If Konecny wants more than $8.5 he can roll. I honestly don't even think he's worth that. Giroux made $8.5 and he was getting 100 points. Paying Konecny the same for 68 points is absurd even if the cap does go up.
Understand Ant's point about potential value, but the Flyers are full of potential value and decidedly lacking in actual value. If someone wants to pay him that much for 30 then let's get some value for a couple years down the road. Love TK but not enough to mortgage more of the future on the hope that he stays healthy and productive. Just because he's the best we got doesn't mean it's gonna be enough within the rebuild timeline. The Flyers best wasn't good enough.
If the Flyers pay him 10mil another move that will cripple this franchise. They have over paid so many players already on this roster. For fk sake start signing players from other teams. Ant u are 100% wrong the Flyers will never do this and the cap barely moves in NHL
10.5 million will be a massive mistake by Briere if he hands out that kind of deal.....That's a massive overpay, and the going rate for a 100 point player. It IS NOT the going rate for a 60 point player...Konecny is not a 75 point pet year player, he had never put up 70 points in a season lol...If Konecny is as good as Ant makes him out yo be, he will have value to other teams, regardless of what the term is.
The flyers have to be focused on the future. Konecny is a here and now guy. He needs to be traded, sooner the better for the future of the team. And honestly the flyers shouldn’t be handing out ANY long term contracts until they prove they can properly develop talent
Ant, I love you but paying Tk that much money is ludicrous especially with what you said about Cam. At TK's point in his career on a point-wise basis cam has surpassed him. I know it's only points but still. I'm the biggest TK fan there is but he's not worth nine and a half million let alone 11. You can use cam as a perfect example and he makes what six million? 5.75?. You're looking in the cupboard at all the food your wife doesn't eat and then you're going out and buying more of it.
love the player but sheesh. already an allstar, if he played with other high end offensive guys he'd be making headlines around the league. top line wingers get that percentage of cap, pretty sure thats how they negotiate these. tough spot to be in
Anthony - if you don’t get the players that you need then you trade TK. Everyone watching - Anthony trading TK is the best way to increase our chances of getting assets that become high end talent. Anthony - Sign TK and Trade him when he’s over 30. There’s now way he becomes another Sean Couturier, Cam Atkinson, take your pick of other high contract players we can’t get rid of. Anthony - 🤷
No way can’t do it. Commit to the rebuild, it’ll hurt for a couple years but totally worth it when we finally have top 10 nhl talent. TK is not a top 20 player in the league
He won’t get that much but the flyers should and will re-sign him. Especially with the cap going up. Flyers want him to stay and konecny wants to stay. It’s going to happen and I’m here for it
Michkov, TK, Tippett, Foerster, Brink but we aren't loaded at RW. I love TK but they should be trading him to strengthen another area. He doesnt fit the timeline either. Giving him 8 yrs at 10.5 million would be a Fletcheresque move.

Anthony is losing his mind. He can not be serious
Wow, and the more I listened the worse it got. So giving TK 8 yrs at 10.5 million is better than 4 yrs at 8.5 million? ASF needs to lay off the dope.
IMHO Russ won the debate handily .

The Flyers best wasn't good enough.
If 8m per year is not enough for TK then shop him.
Trade him dont sign Konecny 10 millions not Much between 7 or 8 millions Come on he's a good player not a great player 🏒🤔
💯 correct
8m/per tops.... Don't fk this up
The more i listen to this ...the worst it gets. Anthony is totally wrong.
Trade him to Carolina for Necas,
If the Flyers pay him 10mil another move that will cripple this franchise. They have over paid so many players already on this roster. For fk sake start signing players from other teams. Ant u are 100% wrong the Flyers will never do this and the cap barely moves in NHL
I love TK but 10.5 million for him is insane and the Flyers will end up regretting that. ASF trying to defend a deal like that is equally terrible.
10.5 million will be a massive mistake by Briere if he hands out that kind of deal.....That's a massive overpay, and the going rate for a 100 point player.

They have to trade this guy. They cannot overpay and lock up another one of these guys long term. Danny B and Jones will have to go if this happens .
Konecny needs to be traded for assets. No to Konecny.
The flyers have to be focused on the future. Konecny is a here and now guy. He needs to be traded, sooner the better for the future of the team. And honestly the flyers shouldn’t be handing out ANY long term contracts until they prove they can properly develop talent
I agree Russ
TK does it all. Pk and PP. Worth more than Tippett. But he ain’t Nylander.
Ant, I love you but paying Tk that much money is ludicrous especially with what you said about Cam. At TK's point in his career on a point-wise basis cam has surpassed him. I know it's only points but still. I'm the biggest TK fan there is but he's not worth nine and a half million let alone 11. You can use cam as a perfect example and he makes what six million? 5.75?. You're looking in the cupboard at all the food your wife doesn't eat and then you're going out and buying more of it.
Sanfillipo is pretty whacked
Konecny scores mostly on the rush. He is a younger version of Atkinson. Konecny will turn into Atkinson in 4/5 years.
Happy Memorial Day weekend fellas
Who was the last Flyer rookie to score 20 goals? Foerster could easily blossom more
Konecny is a Torts guy. Torts will not be the head coach after 2 yrs from now. Please trade him.
ASF as usual - Confidently Clueless!!
Good timing too. Few moments ago Rookies got a HR
love the player but sheesh. already an allstar, if he played with other high end offensive guys he'd be making headlines around the league. top line wingers get that percentage of cap, pretty sure thats how they negotiate these. tough spot to be in
Not a bigger sign of a bad organization than signing good players big money before you have great players
Love the countdown clock and music, Russ.
Anthony - if you don’t get the players that you need then you trade TK.
Everyone watching - Anthony trading TK is the best way to increase our chances of getting assets that become high end talent.
Anthony - Sign TK and Trade him when he’s over 30. There’s now way he becomes another Sean Couturier, Cam Atkinson, take your pick of other high contract players we can’t get rid of.
Anthony - 🤷
Anthony smokin some good dank to think that
What does Nylander make?
11.5m
T.y. my guy
Why is everyone rushing TK's contract, he still has a year left no hurry to give him a new contract
If he's going to be traded, his value will be higher if he is traded with a year to go on his contract
No way can’t do it. Commit to the rebuild, it’ll hurt for a couple years but totally worth it when we finally have top 10 nhl talent. TK is not a top 20 player in the league
He is not worth $10.5 million. I love him but NO
Barkey turns into TK. Give him a couple years.
💯 agree
Lol I like Barkey but I don't see Barkey as a 30 goal scorer. I'll be happy if Barkey is an every day NHL player.
7 years? Give him 3 years
Tippett is 6.2 AVerage.
lunacy 10 for TK is stupid
The "Russ"ian Bear...
You guys speculate and feed into rumors
Abolish the cap.
Tippett is 6.2 aav
Hello everyone
TK is the best player on the team. And they should resign him
Michkov is coming
Its time to trade Konecny and his body Sanheim together for something big 🏒🤔
Fuck no. 7 mill tops
$8M is the max I would pay
If you pay TK $10M…what does Michkov get after his entry contract is over and he outscores TK? He will want $13
TK is not a superstar and he does not deserve superstar money!
Not a chance
No he won’t
Trade TK
He won’t get that much but the flyers should and will re-sign him. Especially with the cap going up. Flyers want him to stay and konecny wants to stay. It’s going to happen and I’m here for it
Michkov, TK, Tippett, Foerster, Brink but we aren't loaded at RW. I love TK but they should be trading him to strengthen another area. He doesnt fit the timeline either. Giving him 8 yrs at 10.5 million would be a Fletcheresque move.
It’s wild how clueless Russ is.
Hit that like button
No he won't
