“The Flyers have three great-looking deals on prime-aged players, the problem is they all expire next year. Travis Konecny, Morgan Frost and Cam York are all playing roughly $3 million under their worth and while that gives great value for next year, their next contracts will dictate where the Flyers land next season. They could all sign perfect deals like Owen Tippett’s or Joel Farabee’s, get good value like Nick Seeler’s or slightly overpay like Travis Sanheim’s.
Across the board, there isn’t much to complain about aside from a heap of dead money on the books over the next two years. That does drag the Flyers down, but Philadelphia’s biggest problem contract is one any knowledgeable person would’ve given out at the time. Sean Couturier landed on our worst contracts list as a result of injuries derailing his value, and it’s his deal that brings the Flyers down to 25th. They wouldn’t be an above-average team regardless, but they wouldn’t be this low either.”

Who cares. Most of the roster will just be here in three years.

Coots hurts but it’s not like we knew he’d completely destroy his back after signing that contract. It was a fair deal for his skill back then

Yeah because Sanheim’s contract is definitely worse than Risto’s 😐
These advanced analytics models mean nothing to me.

The Athletic is so bad when it comes to hockey. They try to manufacture stats for clicks instead of reporting.

Well that’s it… 40+ years of watching the Flyers down the drain because The Athletic thinks they suck. Guess I gotta follow cricket or curling now. Thanks for your insight assholes.
