Depth their way with cap space? They are clearly aware they need high end talent. Likely not the kind where they hit on a 2027 1st. If anything, it’s 100% on brand to try and get the biggest UFA out there.
Franchises don’t stay undesirable forever. Like my old avatar, I’ve been around awhile to see plenty that have become destinations after being far from first choices. Not saying the Flyers are that today, but there is a path for that. Cut Torts, draft a star or two, have a ton of cap space. It ain’t likely, but it’s the only real path forward.
Also, I’m not bocowski or whatever tf. I don’t change my avatar bc I have better shit to do. I also have better shit to do than pour all my time in something I don’t believe in, ie the Flyers.
