Andrae should’ve already been in their top 4. He has promise and should be getting plenty of ice time
I like Andrae better than Zamula or Drysdale. Only Drysdale is a difference maker but his difference making is in the negative direction.
I’m not looking to move the needle, I’m looking to move Drysdale, Zamula and Andrae down the depth chart and eventually out of Philly. They are not top 4 players who will be here if the flyers ever become contenders.

You expect them to do all that this off season? Acquire a top center, Dman and goalie? They’re drafting their elite talent at center with the #6 overall draft pick. It’s unlikely whoever that is will be a #1 center this coming season. Somebody who knows hockey would know that.
Reading comprehension helps. There isn’t anywhere in my post where I stated, implied or suggested that I expected them to do all that this off season. Instead of questioning if somebody knows hockey, apply common sense first
Yes getting JD out of top 4 long term should be the plan. Otherwise let him play top 4 minutes see what transpires instead of a 1 year stop gap Duomolin type. That’s all I am saying.
What will happen is they sign him he plays well then gets a 3 year extension. We know how that ends.
Projected lines doesn’t matter as right now the have no room to add anyone. Forward prospects also pretty empty
Let’s say they are all top 4 on the Flyers. Adding them accomplishes what? They go from 4th worse to say 8th? What does that do in the big picture? It stunts the potential growth of players on the roster for no real gain.
You can’t have it both ways. Didn’t you say earlier the cupboard is bare on D prospects after Bonk? We agree on that. Getting Drysdale out of the Top 4 needs to be a priority. The only role I see for this guy here is as a protected 3rd pairing Dman who can help the power play a bit. I’m fine with clearing spots for the developing forwards and letting them run. Maybe we can debate about projected lines in some other post. Hahahaha!

As far as feee agency I stay away off the top of my head seeing where they are at. They will need to make a trade to address a top 6 center. Will likely have to overpay which may not be bad as need to see the deal first.
Brier was also part of the mess as he was the assistant GM. He doesn’t get a total pass.
I don’t see the point in signing fringe guys like you mentioned. Either go out and get quality who will be around for a while or stand pat with what you in house.
They’re all top 4 guys here and you don’t have to give up assets to get them. So whether it’s one year or two or five, you can make that move July 1. I like Faulk just fine but the Blues won’t give him away. I’ve seen it happen plenty of times: A team adds one right guy to the mix and it literally changes the entire team for the better.
This is the 3rd off season this management team has been overlooking. What have they added? They have underwhelmed big time
Briere came in spring of 23. He inherited a mess. I have high expectations for this off season. They aren’t sitting on what they’ve got now . . . at least I hope not. I think they have two must make moves this off season. Which UFA center do you think they should sign?

Those guys will all want and get multi year deals. I don’t tie myself up for those types. They did that with Seeler and it was dumb.
Can’t wait to see the grand Flyers plan this summer.
Maybe Gavrikov can help though he is 29. None of those guys moves the needle in any way. They are not top 4 players who will be here if the flyers ever become contenders
