Should we be worried he hasn’t signed yet? Foerster and Cates have signed but what’s holding York up. We can’t lose our best dman.
Hold up is bridge vs. Long term. They aren’t close to an agreement yet. But they expect to get something done.
Any insight in two which side wants the bridge vs which side wants the long term deal.
I guess one would assume York wants the long term deal, but IMO I would think it is York that wants the bridge.
Also agree York would want a bridge. Test the coaching waters out first. See how the team is constructed in the next few years.

Hopefully, the team is constructed in such a way they can afford to let him walk as a UFA. But for now, he’s a top pairing guy here. That won’t change this season.
Why would you let him walk? That makes no sense at all.
I said it’s not going to happen soon but I’d like to see the Flyers build a Cup winning capable defense. York is getting close, experience wise, to being what he is as an NHL player. I hope he surprises me and takes a big step up this year. If he doesn’t, they need to upgrade the slot. That doesn’t necessarily mean letting him walk, that’s why I said hopefully. I don’t see him topping out as a top pairing Dman on a legitimate Cup contender. Sanheim, on the other hand, I do.

Maybe it’s me though seems you said let him walk.
Overall the Flyers D is trash with very little help on the way. Will take years to get a cup contending D. Many years.

Not any time soon. He’s a top pairing guy here on a defense that needs an upgrade badly. You’re making it sound like he’s some superstar who is in a position to see how the new coaching staff does and see how management builds the team the next couple or more years. It’s not like he’s another Makar. He’s not a top pairing guy on, I would say, most teams in the league.
How on earth you draw the conclusion I am making him sound like a superstar is very odd
Because you wrote this:

I prefer the Flyers sign York to a bridge deal. I don’t necessarily think he’s a guy you can literally build your D around. If he is around for years to come, I would hope somebody comes in and supplants him on the top pair. Again, they have no D prospects that will help this year. Maybe a couple will get a look due to injury.
How is what I posted propping him up as a superstar?
He is a young vet who may not want a long term deal if he sees no path to contention. In that case he may want a short term deal. Then move on if he doesn’t like what he sees.
They have no one close to supplanting him.

Why would the Flyers want to sign York to a long term deal?
No one close this coming year and likely next. Which is why you sign him . . . to a bridge deal.

Why? Is that a real question?
No one close in the next 5 years. They have one D prospect who projects to be an NHL player. One. Outside of Bonk they have nothing but potential bottom pair guys, if they even pan out.
