    Rasmus Andersson, right handed D, pretty good, fits under the cap, end of season UFA. Might be available sooner. We will see. It’s a very safe bet, after the big Frost trade last year, Briere has at least checked in on him.

    I thought about Andersson also. With Rasmus turning 29 soon, I do wonder if Briere would use significant assets to improve the blueline for a younger Dman. I do not know, but this top 6 is not playoff contender quality even when/if York and Risto return.

    he is a real good dman. will have a lot of interest.

    help me understand why he would choose to come to the flyers for his last big contract.

    That’s the catch, isn’t it? Choosing the Flyers over the Rags, at least, is a no brainer.

    he will have many suitors. flyers at the bottom of his list I would imagine. therefor not really realistic

    once that communist socialist mayor is elected in NY it will be interesting to see if it effects athletes wanting to play in NY. he wants to tax the shit out of high earners.

    I do believe if the Flyers acquire a Dman, the player will have term left on their contract because the Flyers are not really a destination franchise right now. So I would expect a Byram type Dman to be the player they would acquire.

    Andersson is from socialist Sweden so he likely won’t have a problem with that. The Rags organization? That’s a different question.

    he wont like his $$$$ being taxed out the ass.

    either way he isnt a flyers option. they will probably trade for dylan mcllarth…..

    As a UFA, are the Flyers an option for Andersson? Vegas needs to do something about replacing Pietrangelo, who might be finished. Climate wise, Vegas would be a big adjustment from Arctic Calgary. The Flyers do need one Top 4 guy. Byram is the other guy who might be available. That’s about it for now as far as I know.

    option yes. realistic option no.

    byram has a 2-year contract then UFA. After being in buff does he want to re-sign with buff south? buff will move him if he wont re-sign long term. do you trade for him without an ext?

    their best bet is to somehow trade for someone who has term or control. who that is I dont know.

    UFA pickings are slim after Andersson. RFAs who might be moved, also slim.

    With the Flyers playing against Ghost tonight, is there any question as to him having a better career since he left the Flyers than anyone who played for the Flyers except maybe Sanheim over the last 5 years?

    He plays 20 minutes a night dman averaging 29 pts/yr on the PP the last 2 years while making 3.2 mill/yr and cost nothing to acquire. Thankfully the Flyers have no issues on the PP. That’s why Carolina is a well run team and the Flyers keep throwing darts and draft picks at the wrong players. He’s making only slightly more than Nick Seeler, the guy the Flyers can’t live without and who they gave a 4 year contract.

    Unfortunately the Flyers have shown no signs of growth on defensive talent evaluation in the last 6 years.

    Rick Tocchet thinks Jamie Drysdale can play like Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar

    JFC flyers cant help themselves. just a silly as comment. if he is as good as karl dykhuis its a win.

    Through 2 complete games. Drysdale has 0 SOG, 0 points, -1. I can see the Makar comparison.
