Yes, you should coming off the 1st contract if you can make the right deal. You're buying UFA years and getting them cheaper. I think he's going to develop into a legitimate #1 NHL defenseman.

Bridge deal first. Then can do contract where you buy few years in fa.

I can't get over the fact, if indeed it is true, his agent asked for 10mil AAV. Dude is straight up on bath salts.

As per Sport-Express.ru, Provorov's agent provided this comment about rumored $10 mil demand:
Mark Gandler: “ As for Ivan Provorov’s contract, I will tell you that I do not want to even comment on these nonsensical statements and rumors from media and the internet. I just don’t see any sense in that. What I can say is that GM and I know the truth”

The Athletic have an article looking at Oscar Lindblom's role last season, and going forward.

https://theathletic.com/1...or-the-flyers-in-2019-20/

The madness reached its peak in Hakstol’s final game as head coach. With firing rumors swirling, he chose to go out on his terms — by giving Lehtera (who would never score another point for the Flyers and would appear in just three NHL games afterward) the nod over Lindblom in the starting lineup. It was perhaps the most perfectly timed “this is why people are screaming for the coach’s head” decision in recent hockey memory — a promising rookie benched for a player clearly no longer capable of keeping up with NHL-level competition.

Injuries create openings.

TSN reporting that Boeser is asking for 4 years, 7M per.

However, as has been noted many times, there is a leaguewide stalemate on the upper end of the RFA markets. Teams and agents alike are waiting for someone else to set the market first.

Even if one guy signs, I don't expect the backlog to clear out quickly.

Lot of entrenched positions. Lot of posturing leading up to the next CBA. Lot of holdouts incoming.

Cheaper now, more expensive later versus more expensive now, cheaper later.

I know people will poop all over it but if Provy is not backing down I would get behind a deal involving Provy for Liane. Keep Ghost up Sanhiem's minutes and continue to develop Myers. I think the D would still be pretty good.

Realistically Privy ends up getting a bridge deal here imo...

Laine hasn't signed. You'd be right back into the same situation. A potential # 1 NHL defenseman is too valuable.

AMac gets a tryout deal with Calgary. Quality top 4 D, yesiree!

He is willing to die to block a puck. That’s was the only gem the Cowgary brass saw, watching the Isles and flyers tapes.

Does anyone know where Jay O'Brien stands in our prospect pool? He doesn't get much coverage, and didn't seem to really light it up freshman year at Providence.

Should we reasonably expect eventual top 6 minutes from him?

He's completely off the radar at this point, pending a bounce back season. Not written off, just in a state of flux.

He’s playing in the BCHL this season then will attend BU next year. I read where he gained 13 pounds and was very optimistic about his future. It will be at least 2 more years before he goes pro. Still way to early to count him in or out of the Flyers lineup.
