I’d be fine overpaying for Zegras. But more so if we end up with more of a 2C this draft. Not sure we still should trade for Zegras if we get Catton until we see him play.
Did you forgot Konecny and Couturier exist?My ideal lineup from players what we have:
Foerster - xxx - Michkov
Farabee - Frost - Tippett
Cates - xxx - Brink
xxx - Poehling - Hathaway (trade him at the TDL)
York - Sanheim
xxx - Drysdale
Andrae/Zamula/Ginning - Attard/Bonk
Ersson
Fedotov
But I know, both Seeler & Ristolainen will be in.
Also I definitely would NOT buy out Atkinson. Just keep him for the last year & then say goodbye. No reason to have him on payroll until 2026.
There are rumors that Utah would like to acquire a first-pairing defenseman. If they would've had interest in Travis Sanheim, Briere should be listening.
I really hope they'll be traded. I expect they won't.Did you forgot Konecny and Couturier exist?

Ellis is still owed $16.5MM. Not an attractive contract for a team trying to cheat to the floorI wonder if the flyers try to trade Ellis to the Utah team too. They currently only have Shea Weber as their hold and let’s not act like they won’t be cheap for the first year or two.
Wouldn’t insurance cover a good amount of that? And flyers could even retain if they feel the need to.Ellis is still owed $16.5MM. Not an attractive contract for a team trying to cheat to the floor
Oh, I didn't consider that. Not sure how that works.Wouldn’t insurance cover a good amount of that?
They can just keep him on LTIR.And flyers could even retain if they feel the need to.
Their cap situation is so f***ed it’s ridiculous.
Maybe in the final year a cheap team would take him since his 26-27 salary is $4.5m for a $6.25m AAV.Wouldn’t insurance cover a good amount of that? And flyers could even retain if they feel the need to.

UHC currently have zero dmen signed
I sometimes wonder within this board, if people just want to be better entertained, or to actually win sometime in the future. With Zegras, you get one of these things and it isn't the outcome I want when things matter.
What is it about Zegras that makes you think he isn't worth pursuing? Honest question. I know he had a down year last year and dealt with injury, but is there something specific about his game that you feel would not make this team better or that he wouldn't work on a line with Michkov or something like that?I sometimes wonder within this board, if people just want to be better entertained, or to actually win sometime in the future.

Oh, I didn't consider that. Not sure how that works.
