They HAVE to name it after Ed Snider. Would be the ultimate classy rebrand. Call it Snider Arena or Snider's Place, or something like that. Comcast doesn't need naming rights money. If they're adding restaurants, a hotel, & a concert venue, make the complex classy, unlike corporate BS like "Little Ceasars Arena".
That won't mean much when he's 32 and can't score more than 40 pts and he's on the book for 8.75 for 4 more years. Along with Coots AND Sanheim making 8+ mil as well. I like TK a lot dude. But he does not fit in with what the team should be doing man
@@kod8933 yeah wanting to be here is great and all but 8.75m when he’s 34 is going to be a pain. That’s franchise / superstar territory. Gonna be tough finding space for TK, michkov, a good defensemen, a good center (which they need), and a better starting goalie. All of this while they’re already over the salary cap.
Love the player, not sure I love the contract. I'm not in favor of 8 year deals with NMCs and limited No Trades and all that. We'll see how it plays out.
Impressive take by Kelly. Completely reasonable and well presented. Good calling out those fans who want to just live in misery and hate. It gets old after awhile
A creative concept with the Spectrum part of the name or title of the arena would be ok. They renamed Boston Garden the TD Garden and now a lot of folks are calling it the Garden again. Yeah some folks might get mad or aggravated but most should be ok with it.
I still think the best way to build a team is from tanking. I know it is not popular, but when you look at all of the teams who have won Cups since 2009, with the exception of 2011 Boston and 2019 St Louis, they all had one or more influential players taken in the top of the draft. We have Michkov. That's it. With our current strategy, the team will finish 5th to 10th worse. We will not get the high end players we need not drafting in the top 3.
The way Charlie thinks about this rebuild and TKs contract, is the same way the oilers drafted 1st, 1st, 1st, 7th, 3rd, 1st, 4th from 2010 to 2016 and didn't do anything till 2022 but still hasn't won the cup even tho they have THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE. tanking is just as big a gamble or bigger. I have faith in Briere
You realize that's only a 12 year window? And we are already at 12 years of being a joke and a bubble team even at our absolute best during those years? Not seeing a problem picking high, then we have a better shot of finally getting out of hockey purgatory
This just in the flyers have signed the team skate sharpener to a 12 year 84 million dollar contract..........which they will opt to buy out of next week. No contract should be longer then 4 years.............i love the flyers but they have learned NOTHING....... every contract like this has been a disaster.
I don't think he'll be a 90 point guy consistently but I could totally see him have a couple over the course of this contract (depending on how much talent they add) Depending on how much talent is added I also wouldn't be surprised if he has a Zack Hyman type season in there where he really pops off for like 52 goals or something. I think this contract will age better than a lot of online fans think it will
If he is a center or defensemen I say yes for 8 years not for a winger especially a right winger a position the Flyers have depth and good future, I like Konecny he' s a top 6 but not a dominent player 🤷🏒🤔
If Foerster or Tippett step Up and become very good top 6 they Wil regret the 8 years for Konecny, at the same age Tyson Foerster is better than Konecny more complete and bigger player

The matt read mention made me so happy
Day in Day out, Bill still had the best podcast ad reads on the internet
THE SNIDERDOME
Peco Powerhouse sounds great especially with the new lights on the outside
To me the best part of signing TK is he wants to be here he wants to stay and be apart of this he luvs being a flyer and to me that says it all
That won't mean much when he's 32 and can't score more than 40 pts and he's on the book for 8.75 for 4 more years. Along with Coots AND Sanheim making 8+ mil as well.

The craziest thing about the TK contract is that LeBron will earn almost as much as his entire contract next year.
Not a sport
And konecny is still a better player at his sport
And TK does much more for the Flyers than Lebron.

We got screwed over by previous management!! But, I’m extremely excited about the future of the Flyers..

Charlie is right. Philadelphia made me pessimistic and I am always negative because it is a coping mechanism.
"Ladys and gentlemen, we got him" has become a meme in it of itself apart from the Iraq stuff
Gauthier will win the Calder just to spite us as Flyers fans. If Michkov gets above 50 points, I will be pleased.
TK is in his late 20s? He just turned 27😊
Exactly he’s still pretty young 😂
27 is late 20s and contract starts at age 28 ...
Contract kicks in at 28
and 27 is late 20's
He will be 28 when his deal starts, meaning it won't end till he's 36.....that's late 20s
Bad contract. Should've traded
Even if the contract starts next yr
Id argue 27 is just as close to mid 20s as upper 20s
$8.75 million AAV is gonna be a bargain in two years when he's putting up 90-100 pts. Plus they never would have got the return value in a trade.
I don't think he'll be a 90 point guy consistently but I could totally see him have a couple over the course of this contract (depending on how much talent they add)

We have 4 third Line center for the moment, he needs to have big seasons with the power Play
If he is a center or defensemen I say yes for 8 years not for a winger especially a right winger a position the Flyers have depth and good future, I like Konecny he' s a top 6 but not a dominent player 🤷🏒🤔

The worst thing for a GM is fall in love with His players especially in the Cap hit era and a supose rebuild too 🤔🏒😂
