As some of the podcasts have said. I like the dude he’s been good. If we are committing to him does that mean the Z at center does not happen?
The guy has been good. At many things.
He’s been good and there’s not really an enticing center on the market, but Martone’s coming Luchanko shouldn’t be far behind plus the wingers on the phantoms right now. Gonna have to move someone out. Curious what this would look like
I remember when all the dingus’s here though he was just an overpaid 4th line center and everyone on the subreddit kept projecting him as our 4C in their pre season lineup.
We overpaid by a lot to get him on a one year deal with the hopes of trading him at the deadline. Now hopefully we don’t overpay based on a purple patch for 3 months.
Solid player
1st round pedigree
Value at deadline – TBD
Great signing
I would like to see a 3ish year deal here
I’d like to resign him for 4 years. He’s the Flyers best center and the Flyers desperately need centers for the next few seasons. Coots is a 3C at best, Cates should be at wing and kids are unproven. The only way I trade him is if he’s part of a package for someone better.
Trade deadline is a while away but if this team is still towards the top of the eastern conference and he’s still effectively our top line center I don’t see how you flip him for a pick or two. Maybe he’s part of a trade package for a younger center or they sign him for a few years until our center prospects develop into nhlers and then trade him in his last year etc.
Isn’t 2 3Cs enough?
He’s on a $5.4 M deal now. I can’t see him taking a whole lot less. I bet he’s going to get 4 yrs at least in term too.
So I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something like 4 yrs $22M. I’m pretty sure they can get a late round 1st pick for at the trade deadline too if they want.
He’s been effective and centers are tough to find. Problem is this could be his best season at age 29. Playing with Zegras has been pretty good for his scoring, no doubt.
No. No. A million times no.
I doubt he would be worth whatever needed to get him to sign before market
Hes 30 and a career 35 pt guy with bad metrics …
But hes a center scoring at top 6 rate so would probably get decent multi yr deal
2-3 yr deal at 4.5 – 5 million and I’m good with it.
Anything longer or more than that & I’m very skeptical.
I think a middle ground could be had here.
Philly has talks now about an extension and that drives up the price a bit for Dvorak to get traded at the deadline.
But the center need isn’t going away in the offseason and you explore signing him once again, this time to a longer term deal even if it’s a slight overpay.
You get the draft compensation, you get him back for when it will matter more and you also have a chance to try out Zegras at center and see if he really needed Dvorak in the first place.
It’s a massive win-win in my opinion and the only downside is this season.
Imo I always think the idea was to flip Dvorak, but with how well he has played and the center free agent market he might have played himself into a contract. I just hope it’s very team friendly.
I can’t believe these comments. He was always a flip signing. Why are we extending a 30 year old who is on pace for well above his career high. Buy low sell high it’s not that hard man. Y’all want a new future or more of the same?
If we’re signing him needs to be no more than 2 years 4m idc

Sign extension… 2 years 5.5 per. Let’s go.
