Good deal if it's in the 3.5m - 4.5m range.

I'm expecting an overpayment in the 5.5-6.0 range though.

He must be thinking about retirement to sign a one year deal. Still a very effective player at his age. I'd rather pay him 7 million a year for one year than have Wideman for three more at his salary.

For a 1 year deal, that's probably not an overpayment if it is 5+. Not having to secure a long term is a huge advantage, especially considering the lack of viable defensemen in the market this year.

Given the cap situation, I don't see it going over 4m.

EDIT: Solid deal.

Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Kimmo Timonen signs a one-year deal with Flyers. Base salary in the $2 million range could be worth close to $4 million with bonuses.

The phrasing in that tweet suggests to me $4 million total. Your edited title suggests $6 million total.

That's a very fair contract for both sides.

It's going to be weird seeing sensible contracts out of Philadelphia.
