Flyers Sign Michael Raffl To Extension

Hopefully it's not for a lot of $

 

[Cobiemonster]

I'm not sure if that's good or not - that's a lot of money for a forward that only has a half dozen or so goals on the season

 

[EVille3]

I think it is great value for a guy that play any line. Great deal imo

Agreed just when you get down on him he impresses us. His flexibility is a nice asset.

It's a fair deal but I would've rather just naturally slid Leier or Cousins into a full time spot next year. Not that this contract is huge but I wanted to save some dollars. I'd also like this a lot more if I confidently knew Raffl would be used in a role that he can play.

I really like the deal. It is not as much as Gagner's contract by +/- a million. That means there you move out Gagner next season and are still ahead.

 

[Maverick426h]

A lot has been made about him not scoring obviously, but at least the guy is responsible defensively and can play on virtually any line comfortably. You don't find many players like that at this price, so it's a good signing.

I'm OK with this. I would've liked to see what they could have gotten for him, but 2.3 for 3 years isn't a bad deal. He'd be a good 3rd liner on a good team.

 

[lasgop8]

I like Raffl he just tricked me into thinking he was going to score 20+ every year. He's a good two way player that can play on any line and if he ever gets back to 20+ going forward its a great deal

 

[lasgop8]

This makes me feel real good about this signing.

Michael Raffl extension a shrewd move by GM Ron Hextall

 

[Retroram52]

Hextall is working his shrewdness to perfection. It's taking time but we are way ahead of expections of many at the start of the season.
