While he's in control of who he picks I don't think his options are going to be great without picking some high end contracts. He can't field a team of scrubs. Not when they'll be compared to Vegas' first season and they need to reach the floor. I think there will be a few high priced contracts included in their picks. Will they try and get rewarded for taking them? Absolutely. But I think enough GMs learned not get burned from the last expansion draft. I think he'll get some low end prospects or some third rounders, but I'd be pissed if my GM was giving away first rounders as sweeteners - weak draft or no. - FlyersGrace

Noone is getting overpaid in this league right now. The flat cap in place for the foreseeable future will take care of this. Regarding Klingberg, yes, Dallas may not be interested in moving him. My real point is to get 2 top 4 defenseman in the $4-5M price range, one that can move the puck on the PK and one that can add a physical presence, especially on the PK. These are just examples of possible players that can fill this need. I don't believe in Myers. I don't believe the Flyers can come back with Ghost on this roster and I don't believe York is ready to be rushed into a top 4 role. The Flyers in my estimation have 2 holes to fill in their top 4 right now and they must look outside the organization to fill them. - jd250
There are teams that have cap space. There will be players that are overpaid as usual.
Your mind will be changed on Myers just as it was on Farabee.

Very true. I think the difference is that most GMs figured out that they got burned in the Vegas expansion draft with those sweeteners. While they would never admit it I think it will be much, much more difficult to get those kinds of concessions again. But of course, I could be wrong.
