A 26 year old 30 goal scorer with a 3m dollar contract for Erhoff?

To bad his body can't handle the NHL.

He'll be a good coach one day.

you are forgetting ehrhoffs cap hit is very team friendly, and hes a second pairing d-man at worst. yes, a team like the oilers would probably welcome an ehrhoff type player with open arms.

also, perron has never scored 30 goals in a season. came close, but hasnt done it.

No it's not....It's for 10 years and anyone who trades for him has the threat of a recapture penalty hanging over their heads.

Perron had 28 goals last year.

brad richards must be the happiest guy in NYC today. HE's getting like $50MM upfront for 3 years of work.

if i may advise him, his best bet is to move to a contender like the kings for $1MM-2MM for a 2 year contract, get the healthy scratch for half the season, get let loose in March as a 3rd line/4th line center, play the minimum needed to be engraved on the cup, and then kick back into retirement as you date the hollywood elite actresses.

28 goals isn't thirty. Its close but it isn't 30.

Re: NHL 2014 summer activity.

Also, the recapture penalties go to the team that signed him. Cap geek has a calculator on it.

So a second pairing dman on a team with weak defense for a second line winger. Seems like a fair deal.

Re: NHL 2014 summer activity.

did i miss something on hartnell? he's good, strong agitator with some scoring in him. why'd philly give up on him? are they starting a rebuild?

Re: NHL 2014 summer activity.

What are the contracts? Maybe that relieves their cap pressure?

Re: NHL 2014 summer activity.

What's up with this Hartnell for Umberger trade? Has Philly lost it? Why would they ever make such a trade? It makes no sense on the surface.

The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forwardScott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets for forward R.J. Umberger and a 2015 4th round pick.

The 32-year old Hartnell was drafted 6th overall in the 2000 draft by the Nashville Predators. Hartnell has five years left on his contract totaling $22.5 million and a cap hit of $4.75 million.

The 32-year old Umberger was drafted 16th overall in the 2001 draft by the Vancouver Canucks. Umberger has three years left on his contract totaling $13.5 million and a cap hit of $4.6 million.

Thoughts from media:

• Dan Rosen: “I can’t rationalize this on what we know. Maybe Hartnell begged for a trade. Maybe the Flyers wanted him gone. Maybe….just maybe.”

• Elliotte Friedman: “No salary retention for either team in CLB/PHI trade…clean break both ways”

• Chris Johsnton: “It’s worth noting that Scott Hartnell waived a no-movement clause to join #CBJ.”

• Dan Rosen: “I can’t describe the reasoning behind this deal from the Flyers perspective. I have to dive into some details but on surface I don’t get it.”

• Justin Bourne: “You do have to respect Philly’s decision to get appreciably worse for the same cap hit tho”

• Gus Katsaros: “Hartnell relies on brute strength to power his way to the net instead of a finesse approach. That’s going to wear down with age.”

• Nicholas W. Goss: “I like the Hartnell-Umberger trade from the Flyers perspective. Hartnell’s contract was only going to get worse.”

• David Pagnotta: “Nice move for the Jackets… Hartnell should win over the Columbus crowd pretty easily.”

• Joe Yerdon: “I know Umberger played well in Philly before but this just has all the makings of there being another move coming. This on its own is odd.”

• Joe Yerdon: “Hartnell is the better player in this by a long shot. I’m lost on this one.”

• Sean Gentille: “Umberger is way worse than Hartnell, but he’s signed for two less years. This is so tough!”
