A Farabee trade.

Most likely. Just using Capwages info (since I don't have the brain for anything more) Laine would be $8.7M, minus RyJo's $4M cap hit, means we'd need to find $4.7M in space, along with our existing $830K overage we'd need to clear, so about $5.5M. Farabee out for no cap back gets us $5M of that, and the rest can be handled by sending someone down; alternately, we'd either have needed a taker for Ristolainen, or a combination of assets out, possibly Laughton and Frost.

It's just that if Flyers management had to choose between trading Laughton and sawing off a leg, they'd all saw off both their legs to be sure.

Sorry Briere, you're gonna have to find a 1C through the Draft. No easy way out. Good thing they are tanking to give themselves the best shot at it! :rolleyes:

Uh, Briere wouldn’t want Draisaitl at $12MM, let alone $14MM.

“When you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does…Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way.”

It’s not about stars. It’s about half-stars.

You win by grinding and trying to reach above your talent level through the alchemical wizardry of Hard Work. No team has ever won that way and no team ever will, but we are going to.

Not on a contract that starts at age 30.
And a player who's basically one dimensional.
He's not as good as Sidney at the same age.

If Michkov puts up 100+ points for a couple seasons, he'll get paid.

Nor on a contract that starts at 22. He just doesn't want skilled players. He said so.

That would have added $4,700,000 to the Flyers cap this year and next,

Pretty funny that for all the talk about taxes, Laine would rather pay Canadian taxes than play for Torts again.
Can't say I blame him, I wouldn't want to play for torts either
