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.
I hope they do get some combination of Soucy, Ceci, and Hague. Would be par for the course.
10 million for 7 years may get Ekblads attention.
I’d be happy as a clam with Ceci and Hague. Two holes in one off season filled. Might even be overkill depending on Ristolainen. Watching Florida this playoffs, you can see how well they support the puck and watching the Flyers last season, you could see how lacking they were in that too often. The D is a big part of that. Guys who can fill one or two holes on the blueline are available. There are UFAs, teams that are cash strapped. Of course, they could make an offer for Marner . . . .
Last thing the Flyers need is another 3rd pair defender.
A 3rd pairing Dman isn’t necessarily that here. They should get an in-depth report on him from Tocchet who Soucy played for in VAN. Regardless, I’m throwing every sleeper name I see out there. I’m pretty sure we agree they need an upgrade on the blueline. Ekblad isn’t signing here. The Flyers need to be realistic. One Top 4 guy is essential. Adding two would be better. I don’t like the Flyers D that much after Sanheim and Seeler is good in his role.
According to reports, the team see Carson Soucy and the final year of his deal with a $3.25 million salary cap hit as one that could and should be moved as GM Chris Drury looks to sure up the back end of this Rangers lineup that has seen major changes in recent times, notably with the trade of Ryan Lindgren.
Hopefully, no more than a 3rd pairing guy here but he’s apparently available. Would add this guy before Zibanejad who is overpaid, has 5 years left on his deal and his scoring numbers are likely sagging.
hypothetically who says no:
tippet for zebanejad.
Cap hit of $8.5M for another 5 years for a guy who is, now, maybe a .75 PPG and likely to sag. I wouldn’t give up anything for him. That contract is an albatross.
“Sources confirmed to Kurz that the Flyers will not be in the market for big-name free agents come July 1. While general manager Daniel Briere and the front office have nearly $19MM in cap space (per PuckPedia), they seem content to continue to resign their own younger players. Excluding non-roster players, the Philadelphia Flyers have two restricted free agents remaining—York and winger Jakob Pelletier—and no unrestricted free agents. It appears the Flyers are opting to retain a roster similar to last season’s, with Tocchet and his coaching staff aiming to maximize player performance and development.”

They do have the cap space for the UFAs I think they need (Top 4 D and goalie) and, again, I’m fine with them staying the course on building the forwards through the draft.
LeBrun says the Pens are the only bottom-feeder currently selling… the rest are trying to add lol.
So Flyers trying to “improve” while the Pens are making plans to tank for McKenna…
I like where the Flyers are better than PGH. Unless the Pens are willing to sell Crosby, Malkin, Letang or Karlsson they’ll be bad but too good to finish at the absolute bottom. They don’t have a whole lot else to sell. Rust or Rakell? They could be Top 9 guys in a lot of places. I can actually see a path for the Flyers. Whether they follow it or not . . . WE WILL SEE! Hahahahaha!
flyers and shrewd moves dont go together.
The Farrabee-Frost roster spot/cap dump might not have been shrewd but it does indicate they have some direction. We’ll see how they go about filling those spots.
what a shitty lineup and roster this flyers team have assembled.
if he isn’t traded, brink is a lock for a roster spot. as he should be, not even in question. one of the few I actually like.
that is not entertaining at all. why would they want to add a depth guy? do they not have enough of those? 1 year deal suppose wont hurt anything.
Yes, it’s not pretty. Hahahaha! I am willing to stick with the draft build up front and we won’t see much from that this year. Brink is the best of the bunch after the Top 6, but I would hope the Flyers develop past him unless he has more upside than I saw last year. To me, the earlier effort at drafting D with the first pick (Provorov, Sanheim, York yet passing on Makar!) was sort of ass backwards and I actually like the way the Flyers are set up to move forward. Draft those forwards. They contribute sooner and if you develop a stockpile, you have an asset to acquire plug-and-play D help. This year will still be tough even if they do make a few shrewd moves.
