Read Jake Allen was looking for a 4 year deal. Good for him if he can get that term, definitely do not want the Flyers to give him that contract. Hofer extended in STL, so he is no longer an option. Demko may not extend, which will supposedly lead him to be traded. I expect the goal tending situation to be resolved pretty quickly after the start of free agency.
Reimer is a UFA and might be what they need. With DET getting Gibson, Talbot might be available in a trade. Demko looks like an expensive risk to me. I’d rather see them play it fairly safe with the goalie situation.

– the Jett is either flyers or juniors. no AHL for him
– brink put up 41 points in his 2nd nhl season. he wil be a fixture in the flyers lineup unless traded. not even debatable.
– abols is a 1 year placeholder if that. no need to sign a 4th line vet and overpay. keep him or even that dorwart kid at this point. if they dont cut then can always find a 4th line center.
If Shabanov signs July 1st, he will be playing a top 6 role to start the season. Be curious, who gets pushed out. They have to give him plenty of time to play in a top 6 forward role to see if he can play in the NHL. By the end of the year, Shabanov will stay in the NHL or go back to the KHL.
brink could get traded, otherwise he is in the lineup for the foreseeable future. Brink will get phased out as the flyers love them some owen tippet. not gonna move the forrest ( as they shouldnt at this time).

Luchanko had 6 pts in 7 playoff games for LHV. He’s certainly ready for the AHL but, I was wrong on his eligibility. It is Flyers or Guelph. He could also make the big team and stick the whole season too. Brink is a fixture in your imagination. Do you think the Flyers won’t replace him with a guy who can get them .5 PPG who weighs 190 lbs instead of 160 lbs ASAP?

Any kid taken at #6 should be treated as being 12-24 months away, at a minimum. Even Schaefer should probably spend another year in junior. Teams keep hurrying these guys into the league and wondering why they don’t develop as expected.
Maybe they just weren’t as good as the scouts projected them. That happens too. Celebrini played a full season for SJ. Michkov was 19 the first half of last season. If guys aren’t ready, they aren’t ready. They will be soon enough. They shouldn’t be held back either. We won’t see what I’m suggesting on opening night, but it’s coming.
I don’t think it’s out of hand to see him get the 10 game look out of camp like Luchanko did last year. I also don’t think it’s out of hand to see Luchanko start well enough with LHV to get called up. I can see them get a combined 50-60 games in with the Flyers.
