Bill, I haven’t been paying close attention lately but I see there is a new CBA agreement. I heard in passing that there is a cap in the play-offs now?? Is there indeed one?
Any other highlights to mention? Anything new with players going to college (i.e. Cutter)?Here’s Bill’s rundown on the new CBA: https://hockeyhotstove.com/forums/topic/new-cba/
There are five teams in the conference that are already playoff locks: FLA, CAR, TOR, WSH, TB. The Flyers are light years away from being better than those teams. The rest of the conference is not that great. MTL, on paper, looks improved. NYR will get a boost from roster moves and Sullivan . . . or not. OTT ran a nice end season hot streak into the playoffs. NJ isn’t the team of the future as some predicted. The rest of the conference sucks worse than the Flyers.

Unfortunately, the Flyers offered no proof of that last season.
who else do they need to sign and why? — black_francis
Absolutely no one… was simply responding to another poster still dreaming of a top-4 defenseman, which apparently you didn’t notice.
Being just under is a better picture than was being painted on the socials yesterday.
Still not ideal for where the Flyers currently are, but a better situation than being over (which was the speculation yesterday).
The number on this deal is so good, I’m even more disappointed the Flyers didn’t get a bona fide Top 4 Dman on UFA day.
Danny shot his wad… no more money to spend. In fact, was reading earlier that they’re now over the cap (though they can put Ellis on LTIR, something they’ve not done the past couple of seasons).

Nice work, Danny
He got the Rasmus Ristolainen deal, and is a much better player (even if he is still a work in progress). Definitely a good deal by Briere.
