I cannot imagine paying Travis Konecny (as good as he is) who has never scored 70 points in a season, has 1 goal in 20+ playoff games, has never had 40 assists in a season a 10m aav WELL into his 30s. You can't sell that 🤡💩 to anybody! Trade him at the draft!!!
Cayden Lidstrom or Ivan Demidov would look GOOD next to Michkov and Farabee.
Offer Konecny an 8m by 6 year.
If he doesn't want it.
Trade him.
This team NEEDS a playmaker BAD. And they NEED Center help BAD.
Zegras? Lidstrom? Catton stick at 1C possibly?
Drysdale has missed almost 4 seasons due to injuries. 🤦🏻♂️🤣😂
Briere and Jones got ABSOLUTELY FLEECED!!! 👀🫣🤦🏻♂️🤡💩💩💩💩
How did they not bring Zegras here for Gauthier? 🤢🤮🤦🏻♂️
Should've sent him to the minors until you got a return that wasn't a hospital bed?
How much more can the return diminish? 🤷♂️🤣
We got ROBBED by Anaheim.
Freaking pathetic.
I am NOT drinking the Danny Briere kool-aid. 🤢🤮🤦🏻♂️🤡
How is this team still trying to make and missing playoffs (and I thought that wasnt even the goal considering we just get mauled due to lack of talent when we do get in?) with the worst power play in the league not picking in the Top5 AGAIN afyer just trafing our LAST top5 pick for LTIR space? What a talent difference we miss out on again. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
CAPPED out with no future 1C.
No future 1D. No star goaltender.
Not one 100 point player.
Wtf are these guys doing?
Bill: love your insight, but you need to study up on buyouts. If the Flyers were to buyout Atkinson, they would save $3,516,666 in 2024-25 Cap Hit ($2,358,334 Cap Hit would remain in 2024-25 compared to $5,275,000 without a buyout). I think you were referring to the actual $$ savings (as opposed to Cap Hit Savings) of $1,758,333. There would be an additional $1,758,334 Cap Hit in 2025-26.
A buyout of Cal Peterson would yield $4,000,000 in Cap Hit savings (according to CapFriendly) in 2024-25 — not the $1,000,000 you referenced.
Edmonton kept shooting low on Bobrovsky which played to his strength.
The prudent thing would be to trade TK.
