The career of Andrew MacDonald in Philadelphia will always be boiled down four simple words in the minds of fans: six years, thirty million.
That of course, was the contract that MacDonald signed way back on April 15, 2014, while playing under another Flyers general manager and for another Flyers coach.
But long-term extensions don’t just disappear when those responsible no longer have personnel power. MacDonald played just one season under the massive contract before he and his five million dollar cap hit found themselves in a battle for a roster spot at training camp in 2015, a battle that would end in defeat.
