They couldn’t keep an Ekblad signing under the cap. Same with Dobson if he truly is available. The Flyers should have about $4.5M in cap space to add a Top 4 Dman. I think that’s doable but not with the high profile names bandied about. In a trade, they’ll have to send salary back. Then you hopefully upgraded but haven’t filled an open spot.
good Gm’s find a way to get it done. shouldn’t be a problem cap wise if that is the path they choose.
not sure what 4.5 will buy you on free agency. a bottom pair dman masquerading as a top 4.
This is why I hope they continue the stated path to build a foundation that a big name star UFA would want to join. People talk about McDavid etc but I don’t understand why McDavid would ever want to come here. At least not in the short term. Players like that are looking to win now.
And to be honest I don’t trust a player who would accept an overpay to play for a franchise that isn’t winning. We saw it with Kevin Hayes. Do you want to win or do you want to get paid? When we talk about the type of money these guys make, millions and tens of millions of dollars, is a few extra million worth not winning or having a chance to win? I mean, why do you play the sport?because flyers fans are dumb and uneducated for the most part. Been saying this for years aka TK, Sanheim, and ex selke. they fact they stayed speaks volumes to me. comfortable and complacent.
they didn’t hire and make tocchet the 3rd highest paid coach (which is a joke) to sit still.
a true rebuilding team pretty much runs it back, for 1 more year with Mckenna the prize, with a few tweaks and would have kept Shaw.
for the most part the flyers going to have to offer more term and more $$ to get free agents to sign here. unless they have no place else to go as richard gere once said
For free agents: Just because it’s the Flyers, I could see them targeting Trent Frederic.
I would be interested in signing Ryan Lindgren.
If they sign Shabanov, call it a summer for signings.
freddy reupped with the oilers last week
Saying you don’t want to draft Hagens because you already have Luchanko is baffling logic on the level of not drafting Buium because you already have Andrae, York and Drysdale.
good chance all not even on the roster in 27/28
– when does the broad street bully well run dry? has anything ins sports been milked as much as that?
– overall gets tiring seeing the local peeps who cover the flyers still try to prop them up to an extent despite the piss poor results.
– shabonov will be another low risk move if it comes to fruition.
– if they move up look to Vancouver’s spot at 15
– they may be more active in free agency due to circumstances beyond their control. stay tuned.
– not sure why the think tocchet can “unlock” tippets potential. didnt several high end offensive players regress under tocchet last year?
disagree with you on who they pick Bill, if hagans is there he is the guy. Unless briere has completely soured on him cant see them passing as been on the radar for 2 years.
don’t think acquiring zegras changes anything either.
