Per @frank_seravalli, Fleury's three year extension has a cap hit of $7M.
The most comparable contract to Fleury's three year $7M AAV contract is Ryan Miller's three year contract signed by the #Canucks in 2014https://t.co/7wYK9sfuiE pic.twitter.com/5AH5hMwXwz

Glad they signed Flower and I have been expecting this to happen.
I am a tad uncomfortable at the Cap Hit – hoping more towards the $6m-$6.5m range. However he is the face of the franchise, has stated he wants to retire here and it is wonderful he has a chance to do it. With all of the draft picks coming in the next few years, I expect his contract will not be a huge issue in two years.
Great quote from Flower about being the face of the franchise:
“I wish I had a better face.”
So Flower.

I second wantin the cap hit between $6 and 6.5, but good for him getting what he can.
No can they please stop messing around get Schmidt an extension. The price for a puck moving defenseman will only go up. He has also more than earned it.
