How much of the 9.3 million in available cap space is Hart, Sanheim, and a backup goalie going to eat up?

Rather bring back Raffl than Pitlick

Hopefully as the band needs 1 more year to see what they can do.

Seems Francis may have overplayed his hand. To not have one side deal seems rather odd.

Now we get to see what the GM is made of and what value the 3 amigos have league wide.

ED was a huge letdown in terms of Flyers’ cap relief, however, it could be worse...the Caps screwed the pooch big time. They lost (arguably) their best goalie to SEA, and are left with not enough cap space to resign Ovi and Samsonov.

Anticipate teams following the "consensus" even less this year.
- Tomahawk


That is definitely something I am hoping for and hoping someone makes an unexpected pick prior to the Flyers picking.

It was a huge letdown to majority of teams across the league

I would assume the Capitals are betting on trading Kuznetsov to free up that space needed anyway.

If I were a Kraken fan, I’d be hopeful I kept my receipt to return my jersey.

I'm not confident that the Flyers will even be making the pick.

Not sure why anyone is judging them as of now, there’s going to be plenty of turnover before game 1 all the way in October. We got folks on here saying they like their team because they have grit lol, like they are playing a game tomorrow.

If they are going to trade a 1st this is the draft to do it. I'm not confident that they will utilize the asset correctly anyway.

Why would this be the draft to do it? I would think with everything that went on this year there is a much higher chance of a guy slipping to us that we thought would go much earlier.

I see Flyer fans lamenting some of the FA D that bring some size and physical game to the table being gone, wondering if we could offer -

Manson & 3rd overall for Konecny & 13 -

We need scoring bad and you get a nasty D man -& chance to get Eklund or whoever @ 3 -

Wouldn't be opposed to that, depending on the return. I kinda moved on from Sanheim after watching him get bulldozed by that smurf Gerbe.
- PLindbergh31



LOL is that what happened?

I sure hope you don't get to serve as a witness at any trials. I bet you have lied under oath so many times there are hundreds of people falsely imprisoned in the system because of your testimony.

The only difference between Vegas and Seattle was that other GMs made bone head moves to help Vegas. The majority of good players selected by Vegas were made because other teams told them to with compensation, way too much compensation. The brilliant part was what McPhee did with that compensation to make the team better.

So it's Seattle's fault other GMs weren't stupid this time?

Chuck Fletcher would probably orgasm and say yes all within a nano-second of that offer

Flyersbuzz GMs always know better than actual GMs. The ED was last night and already people are saying Seattle is crap, let's pack it up.

It's still a weaker draft whether players weren't scouted as much as normal or players didn't get to play as much. It's not just the top of the draft that is weak, the depth is just not as strong as the next two.

Looks to me like he is off balance after hitting the boards and gets tripped by Voracek's stick.
