Wow!  30 year old LW played all 82 games, scored 37 goals and had 136 PIMs.  He signed for less than $5 MIL a year.  Nice signing for the Flyers.  Starts in 2013.
 
I don't know, I like him, don't get me wrong but he's a fairly robust player, no? These guys more often than not have a limited shelf life. At 30, it's somewhat of a risk.
 
I always assumed that Hartnell was older than 30.
I think it's a good signing for both parties. Hartnell's season may of been a huge bleep on the radar. I think he's closer to being a 20-25 goal scorer as opposed to a 30-40 goal scorer.

Robust means healthy.

Anyways, I think OTH kind of hits on the real matter here. If Hartnell scores 37 a year it's a bargain. If he's more the 20-25 a year guy with 50 or so points then you could argue it's a bit on the high side.

Okay, wrong word.

You were accidentally right I guess. In the past 5 seasons he's only missed 3 games. With his style of play it's unlikely that continues, but who knows?

Yeah, I mean he could have Iginla-type horseshoes up his you-know-what but I wouldn't hold my breath. That's all I'm saying.

I don't think it works that way though. His ability to stay healthy in his career (and the last five years specifically) is a reason to think he can stay healthy, not evidence that he's "due".
