It's not just that Vinny won't notch Bobby in. It's that flyers CANNOT sign him without also giving up $6m in other contracts. Even then, he's gonna sign for $7m+ next year so they wouldn't be able to keep him with all of the re-signings coming up. Flyers would have to give up 2-3 of:
Voracek
Simmonds
Read
Streit
MacDonald
Coburn
Schenn
Is bringing the philly kid (even though he was born in NJ) back to town worth crippling your defense or getting rid of multiple of your best players? Flyers miss playoffs if you bring Ryan over, they can't handle his contract.
Philly is close to the border. Probably the closest city.
i highly doubt we would get ryan but everybody keeps forgetting we can clear up 5m as soon as we ltir pronger u can go over the cap by 10% in the offseason iirc whiich is what like 6m?
if we were to trade vinny to the sens in the package thats 4.5m freed up as well ryan is @ 5.1 and yes i agree he will want a raise but 7m? if hes on philly we can prob nab him for like 6-6.5 we seem to get decent prices
he doesnt exactly have the greatest production numbers since leaving getzlafs wing if he wants 7m for 50 points... what a joke
+ we got some prospects who could end up in the roster soon enough i wouldnt be surprised to see hagg make a good push hes been playing vs men in sweden came over to play in ahl and seems to have done good
