I like Timmonen but that seems a little high. Oh well, one year so whatever.

that's insane money for Timonen. Remember that next year the cap is going down too... That's almost 10% of the cap on one old defensman.

Not a bad player for a 10th rounder.
1998-Jun-26 Traded from Los Angeles Kings with Jan Vopat to Nashville Predators for future considerations
I sure hope those futures LA traded to the Preds worked out!

He signed his current 6 million dollar deal when the cap was around 50 million.
His game hasn't changed a whole lot ince he signed that deal. He's one of those defenders who's sense and smarts is his best asset. He's played a lot of minutes, but he's played them very efficiently.

I take it you have no clue how good of a defencemen Timonen is.
He'd instantly become our best defencemen. 6 million is a good deal and he'd likely get more for a longer term in the free market.

Timonen lost pronger and carle this year. He's still awesome.. just needs help
Flyers also kind of desperately need to hang on to him. But yeah, market value for a great player.

Just watch Timonen for a full shift sometime. Even at the World Cup and Olympics among other elite players, he stands out as a heads-up, smooth, smart player. Plays like a mini Lidstrom. When it became apparent Nashville couldn't afford Timonen, I was really hoping Sutter would step up and bring him to Calgary.

Timonen is the only reason I want Philly to succeed if Flames do not. He's such a humble guy, classy.
you got PHANUEFED

Smart deal by both sides Philli needs all the help they can get on the back end.

He's not going to retire, because then he wouldn't get any money...but I don't think we will ever see him play again
