Zegras is good but shouldn’t get what Aho does even with cap inflation.
For example, Carolina’s Sebastian Aho carries a $9.75 AAV on his current deal (which started in 2024-25).
Aho has been a consistent PPG guy for pretty well his entire career.

349 93 160 253 0.725If I’m Danny, I’m already reaching out to Mityukov’s agent with an offer sheet for the highest amount for tier 2, 11.923 mil p/yr, heavily front loaded, for a full 5 years. They can’t match both and we need a #1 D as much as a #1 C. As soon as they match Leo, I sign Mityukov and get my Dman of the future, and for less then 4 #1 picks. (2 #1’s and 2nd and a 3rd). Verbeek really left himself wide open for this. It should probably cost him his job.
we are too late on that one now. we couldn’t have do it anyway at the $7.4M cap that it cost Anaheim. I still think they match on LC but I hope I am wrong!!
While the Philadelphia Flyers engaged in the first week of NHL free agency, their annual Development Camp took place at the Flyers Training Canter.

AM thanks for this. Been looking for coverage on dev camp. didnt see much out there. I wasn’t able to attend.
Yo meltzer, please tell me danny isn’t done! I like the TF extension. The rest is a lot of nothing.
Beat me to it. Bring us Carlson at least.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they just run it back with basically the same roster for this upcoming season. You will have Martone for the full year and maybe Bonk and/or Jiricek replace someone in the top 6.
Looks likely unless an opportunity comes their way. Once they get all the RFAs signed, they have a full roster of NHL players with extras. Briere has shown a preference for filling needs internally. If you’re a Flyer today, you will get a fair shot at stepping up before they look around and see what’s out there. The 1C and another top pair D should be on the wish list but aren’t essential at this point. Intrigued by Carlson on D. Anyone moving a 1C is or should be rebuilding and will want a proven younger pro center back. Flyers don’t have that yet. Teams will keep an eye on Jett and the two Jacks. If all goes well, Jett pushes a PPG in LHV this year. If he’s closer to a .5 PPG, that’s very bad news. A lot can change in season too. Fully half the roster was different from opening night to the last playofIf game.
I don’t think they simply run it back. Danny knows this is still a bubble team if they do that. He’ll want to take the next step forward which is a more solid playoff team if not an actual contender to win the East yet.
