A team obviously can only have so many high cap hit players. The Flyers big need on defense is for a RH top pairing defenseman. I'll gladly pay that for Couturier.

I like Couturier, but where is the cap space coming from?


And fill the need for a top defenseman?(Niskanen was a $5.75 cap hit and not on the level as a Jones or Hamilton)
And resign Carter Hart this summer?
And a backup goalie this summer?
And resign Sanhaim this summer?
And Farabee next summer?
And Frost next summer?
Replace Giroux next summer?

If they can unload a contract in the expansion draft, then that would help greatly. That's why Seattle may want a decent draft pick to do so.

Couturier is one year from 30 and nothing behind him at center to hand off the keys to. I prefer Jack Eichel over Seth Jones. You can get a serviceable right handed defenseman to play with Provorov like Matt Niskanen who was by no scratch a star. I think we need something elite up front.

Makes zero sense..
Can only have so many big contracts
Flyers BIGGEST need is rh TOP PAIRING DMAN

I’ll gladly pay that for coots? Who isn’t top dman.

Mjl making the case for flyers fans are the dumbest in the league

The cap is challenging moving forward for every team. You keep your best players and build around them.

Sixers choking bigly. Trae Young 1-12 and the Sixers are down 2 at half.

Ben Simmons on pace for 4 points.

Simmons twice in the first half penetrated the lane 4 feet from the basket and didn't even look at the rim.

Then explain how you keep Couturier and build around him given the FLyers cap issues and holes in the lineup?

Tobias Harris involved but also struggling. 3-10.

This team has 3 max players and it’s relying on Curry to score like his brother. This isn’t going to end well if they don’t turn it around quickly out of the half.

If Embiid goes cold, they're in big trouble.

This game would be over if Tobias Harris could make any shots within 3 feet of the basket.

Montreal trying to go up 3 -1 against Vegas with Cole Caufield and Erik Gustafsson.

76ers might be minutes away from losing game 7 with Ben Simmons passing up a dunk when under the basket.

What a night.
