Flyers need to shed as much of these bad contracts as possible, even if it means eating 50% for 2 or 3 years.

They could probably trade Cates, Hathaway, and Laughton--around $8MM. They could also bury Deslauriers' contract to save another $1.25MM.

Play Ry Jo, play Atkinson and ride this year out.
We have more chance of being a bottom 10 teams than we do making the playoffs.

I trust you to take this in the spirit it was meant. I’m looking for the corner cases of what common sense could be missing.
Does the coach have a major say in roster construction? If so…well, the first priority of a GM is to keep their job.
Ry Jo would rather hurt himself than play for Torts.
Atkinson has no where to go in this line up.
Konecny, Tippett and Foerster all push him out of the top 9.

The Flyers think you need to have a washed up veteran in the lineup every night. You know culture and all that

I wonder if Alexander Wennberg is on their shopping list? Center ice. Former Torts guy.

Then you buy him out.
If we’re not netting a 4th round pick in value to retain half on him, there’s no reason to trade him. The retention slot has value too, and we’re already wasting one on Kevin Hayes, who I’m not so sure won’t be bought out himself. They spent a year weaponizing their cap space, there’s no reason to move heaven and earth to get more of it, this was their stated plan.

If Hayes is bought out by the Blues, he will take up a retention slot on the Flyers cap for four years, instead of the current two.

Them doing another Yandle would be further proof everything is the same and nobody has changed
Heh, you got me. Was typing on my phone from memory. I corrected the comment to reflect the pick value.
If you don’t think the Flyers are going to use the cap space this Summer then yeah it’s a non-starter. For the Sharks they do need some vets to insulate the rookies so it’s not as bad value for them as it looks on paper. I can see their interest and I can also see Cam’s disinterest.
I wasn’t intentionally ‘shitting’ on anyone though. I meant it more as a generality about hfboards placing a high value on picks.

Cams got 1 year left...I dont see the harm in just riding him out. He can be the token "vet character guy" instead of them signing an equally as bad player to a 3 year deal in free agency to fill that bs role.
And hey...maybe he has a decent seasom and can be traded at the tdl.

I think this is the best case scenario but due to the cap, someone is being moved and/or bought out. Could be Atkinson. Could be someone else.

He was/will be in the minors and the cap relief for that is only slightly over $1m
Because he's not going to play, and he wants to play.

There‘s no room for him on the roster, and the team probably wants some space to do something stupid.

This doesn't looks THAT stupid, apart from the washed up enforcer mascot.

not to mention this is the most powerful version of Torts..Wennberg won't want another go round with Torts.

Love we are cap strained and Frost who is pretty good , cheap, fills an important role will be the one who is moved.
