If Yzerman is smart. Which he certainly is. That's exactly what he will do. He's already hit a home run with his coaching pick in my opinion.

Need to hire a GM. Yzerman or Ronald Hextall. Who you taking?

Lol, the other GMs don't want JVR until the TDL, if they even want JVR at all.

If JVR gets moved before the season, it will probably be a cap dump that requires the Flyers to give something up. Or it will be a swap of bad contracts.

Only problem if he doesn't sign a center is even if they draft one with the 8th overall, that player is likely a few years from being able to center the 2nd line assuming he even reaches his potential and can be a center at the NHL level. Without that 2nd line center they won't be a cup contender and likely not even a playoff team. Best UFA option would likely be Malkin since he would be willing to sign short term and give time to whoever the center they draft time to develop for a few years.

We'll see what happens when the UFA market opens i guess.

Not being a contender or a playoff team is a good thing. Get another impact player in the draft.
