With talks of Jeff Carter signing an extension in the fall air, it got me wondering exactly why it would be smart to keep him in Philadelphia. A new contract would probably be as much, if not more, than what he is making annually now (about $5 million according to csnphilly.com).

Jeff Carter is a good player and plenty of teams would want him.  Is it worth it to further stretch our salary cap issues by signing him to an extension?

Throughout the summer, rumors swirled about Carter's availability on the market because of the tight salary cap.  As management squashed the idea of trading Carter, veteran Flyers forward Simon Gagne was moved to Tamp Bay ending the possibility of a scenery change for Jeff Carter.

There were five good reasons I thought of that made me think resigning Mr. Carter would be the best thing for the long term success of the Philadelphia Flyers. 

Let me know what you think and thanks for reading!
