Flyers close to re-signing Giroux
Pierre LeBrun@Real_ESPNLeBrun58s
Hearing that Claude Giroux and the Flyers are close to agreeing to an 8-yr deal worth north of $8 M a year...

I like him a lot....but 8+ a year? That seems a little much.

Too bad they ran out of buyouts. That team is a complete mess. No team building concept just slap together anything and everything you find.

Look at Getzlaf's and Perry's contracts.
Giroux is better than both of them.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun. Just ironing out a few wrinkles and it will be announced within a day or 2. Sources suggest closer to $8.3 per.
Also, where is sureloss today? I keep double-checking to make sure I'm not posting stuff he already has.

Well, he's going to make more than Getzlaf and slightly less than Perry and the cap is coming down, so it's tough to compare. I still think it's too much, but I guess that's the Flyers' problem. He is a great player, though.

Looks like they are signing a goalie too:

Flyers are working hard today to sign a goaltender. Goal is to have a deal before noon Friday. #RDS

Keep in mind the cap is only down this year to get the revenue percentages in line. Most speculate that the cap will get back to 70 million for next year. So when the contract takes effect, it's likely when the cap is even with where it was last year so the declining cap this coming year is less of a factor. Even with 4.5% average growth, it's a 91 million dollar cap 8 years from today. I don't think owners are going to get another 7% of revenue from the players anytime soon, and this is what a 10 year CBA?
Get used to it, the cap numbers for the good players that sign is now going to be quite high as there is no more hiding money up front.
Really this cap decline has lead to a few buyouts, but teams seem to be able to get within the confines of it without having to give away any players they want to. Meanwhile there are going to be a lot of teams straggling to get to the floor.

Good. I hope the Flyers keep signing and signing players to large contracts until one day it all implodes on them. It's gonna happen one day.

Must be nice to be Paul Holmgren. Consistently throw tons of money at players, many of them bust, the team has accomplished essentially nothing in his time as GM, but he's still employed. Flyers are gonna need a compliance buyout a year at least.

Like you guys wouldn't give Giroux 8 years at $8.3mil per. The Flyers have made many mistakes recently and this is not one of them.

He wouldn't get such a bad wrap if Chris Pronger's brain wasn't scrambled.
