Flyers love shooting themselves in the foot. I can't see any situation where you go after a player this way making your organization look more attractive to other free agents or players with NMCs who could block being traded to you.I don't get the Flyers anger over this. It's been made obvious they don't want him, while he doesn't want to be there and is willing to sit out due to injury. This seems like the perfect scenario for LTIR where the Flyers get maximum cap relief and he gets paid to stay home.
It's dumb and not worth it. Of course the team is owned by Comcast who will try to **** you over for $20 despite a market cap of over $150B. So I guess they could think its worth making their team look less attractive to players if it saves them $8m.
