They know they don’t have a ton of room under the cap, and burying Cam won’t cost them a dime if he continues to suck out loud.

This would’ve been much smarter to do than bringing back Erik Johnson’s corpse

It does say he left money on the table. He’s trying to earn one more decent contract on a winner. I doubt this team was even a consideration.

Sadly, 2, followed by a lifetime employment as he moves into management in some capacity

I cannot believe how many of these contracts have NTCs and NMCs. No other sport does this.
Between this and the trading for UFAs thing, it’s just so damn difficult to give most of these front offices much credit.

Still doesn’t seem real that he was used as a top 4 dman that one year by Hak.

Soccer is too hard to work but it can work even there if the players have hustle. Hockey for sure could work. Get a bunch of smart fast players. The modern NHL would bend the knee imo

That Schmidt move is a shrewd piece of business. Winning has its advantages.
Everyone remember when this was Briere when Marc Staal "chose" to sign here?
As we've seen with Johnson also "choosing" them, Flyers brand still has value.

Joel Edmundson somehow even got trade protection in his deal. Granted the deal in it’s self is basically trade protection in reality but that’s still wild nonetheless.

Here for the chaos and lolz
Was it really only one year? Felt like forever.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's just one more byproduct of the insular nature of hockey "culture". If you told me meetings between NHL higher-ups played out the way they do on Shoresy I would not be shocked.

Rob Blake is pretty much a cornered animal right now. No way he lasts much longer in LA... but given that his buddy Luc has a lot of sway and the Kings have a hell of an old boys club of their own, who knows. LA fans hate the two of them as much as we hate the Bullies.Joel Edmundson somehow even got trade protection in his deal.

It doesn't even necessarily have to be the whole lineup. If you've got 5 guys who can make it work, there's a single unit
Yeah it's complicated but I'm confident if everyone tries hard it can be done.

You have think if we got Demidov we may have an option starting there.

Sure could be, but the difference is absolutely hilarious. Most of the guys in MLB that have it get it because of the 10-and-5 rule. Less than 10 NFL players have one. There are weird corner cases where guys get them for one year for various reasons, but there have been 10 full NTCs in the entire history of the NBA. 9 were HoFers.
Or to put it another way, more NHLers have trade control than players from MLB, the NFL, and the NBA combined.

If the Flyers had any damn sense (and they don't) they would offer oodles of money to departments that don't involve on ice production directly. Paying someone like Tulsky to walk away from his job for example or getting more scouts. Personally i'd make Tulsky shave his head because that head of hair is Medusa levels of bad. But no....... they need to keep Lappy around ffs.
