There is time-sensitivity for the Flyers to complete a contract extension for RFA-to-be Tyson Foerster.

Seems odd that they have a better chance to drop then sty in the 4th slot. Any peeps know why that is
-
The odds of dropping are higher than holding the default pick specifically as a deterrent against tanking. I’m all for it. Finishing last still has the highest odds of picking first (25.5 percent) BUT there’s nearly a 3-in-4 chance of NOT getting the first overall pick (getting the 2nd or 3rd instead). It goes on down the line for teams near the bottom of the standings.

Hi Bill, thanks for the post! Congrats and good luck with HHS.
I hate these long term contracts for guys who aren’t stars. I like Foerster, but wouldn’t lose any sleep over losing him. The Flyers being under pressure to get him signed makes me real nervous.

This wait to know exactly where the Flyers are picking has been killing me. I have been dreaming and I mean absolutely dreaming that the Flyers are gonna get the third overall pick. I’m always wrong, so I’m prepared to move back one slot to 5th.

Foerster (I gotta learn how to spell that) is one of two untouchables on the current roster. So in the words of John Malkovich in Rounders, “pay the man his money.”
It’s really a no brainer. This guy has something about him. Has future captain written all over him and has talent. I’ve read before that people have compared him to a very young version of Mark Stone. A high compliment and if so, worth every penny on a long term deal.

@elcamo. I am also on the McQueen train. They need to take the risk and draft the high ceiling guys instead of the safe 3rd liner. This is the most likely scenario of them getting out of this decade + long disgracefull run.
They have the draft capital and a few prospects to make a move. If they have to overpay so be it as that’s the cost of doing business.
Somehow package those other 2 first and whatever it may take (bonk? Tippet? Brink?) to get into the top 10-12. Is it feasible? Don’t know.
It is just sad that after years of losing the flyers really do not have much at all to show for it.

One top 5 pick to show for five years of suckage. Oh yeah they traded that dude away because he didn’t want to be here. They were lucky to get Michkov. They might literally get another Cootes level player. The odds are so far against getting another Michkov level player doing it the way they are doing it. As always I hope I am wrong.

https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/noah-cates-philadelphia-flyers-arbitration-restricted-free-agent
According to a team source, Cates is said to not be interested in a long term deal at this time and is planning to bet on himself on a one year contract that would be awarded via arbitration. With the salary cap set to skyrocket over the next several seasons to well north of $100 million, the two sides don’t seem to be in lockstep with what the player’s value is on a long term deal. According to the source, the team views Cates’ value in the $3.5 million AAV range on a four- to six-year contract.
Always said they should have looked into selling high. Sadly that is not a concept the flyers understand in any way.

Not surprised about Cates at all. One year away from being a UFA, who the organization has touted as a great 3rd line shutdown center. With those figures presented by the club, that is more in line with a bottom six wing position. I just do not know how many bottom six forwards are necessary to secure long-term with top six talent still needed. Nothing against Cates, the player should try and maximize his value. The management needs to start trading this abundance of bottom six players for other assets. The Flyers “top line” of Cates, Foerster, and Brink- with the depth of the organization does it make sense for all 3 to be here long-term? I agree, it is okay to trade a player before the value of the player has plummeted to a level of giving away. I would keep Foerster and move on from Brink and Cates by next summer because their value is pretty high at the moment. Couts is signed long term, his contract is immovable just the reality, one of the bottom six center positions is locked up. I do not feel it is necessary to lock up the other bottom six center spot long term. I would prefer the other bottom six center spot not to be a liability at faceoffs if that player is signed long-term.
