The Flyers are right near the middle, which is exactly where they almost always end up. If you do a list and the Flyers aren’t painfully mediocre, you’ve probably messed up somewhere along the way.

The Flyers have a plethora of deals that appear to be bad value – three of which came onto the books this summer in Kevin Hayes, Justin Braun and Matt Niskanen – but four deals that save them from themselves. My model rated the Sean Couturier deal as the third-best in hockey and that alone gives the team a lot of leeway. Claude Giroux doesn’t come as cheap, but $8.3 million is still a discount for his services. On defence, Travis Sanheim’s bridge deal is going to be a steal, while Shayne Gostisbehere, despite his warts, is still a great asset on his current contract.

off topic
TIL horvat's 2nd cousin is Travis konecny?!



seems about right
not sure why we got niskanen hoepfully he can play out those finals seasons decently
specially retaining salary on gudas when he was arguably our best defensive d man last season

is he horvats 2nd cousin? thats kinda cool i guess? lol

looking at team usa roster for today farabee isnt on it o.O wonder if he got hurt
brink is on the 1st line RW york 2nd line D for usa
ginning is 2nd line D for sweden

USA head coach Scott Sandelin has some high praise for Joel Farabee (PHI), who will be gunning for NHL spot in fall. “He’s been one of the hardest workers every day and one of our best players. That’s a credit to him. He’s focused on what he’s doing here.”


also i spotted this according its based on history and stats and shit so idk how accurate it is :D
players 19 and under with zero nhl games under their belts likeliness to make the nhl

do you guys think any rookies make it this year? i dont think we will see anybody like farabee or frost as much as id like too
we have an open 3rd line wing spot according to everybody but i feel like raffl or laughton could pretty easily take that spot

in terms of rookies though there is farabee/frost but i was thinking maybe vorobyev? he had such a strong camp last year then was meh and got sent down after looking like he secured a roster spot on the 3rd line
maybe this is the year he pulls his shit together and plays in the season like in the preseason/camp games and sticks in the nhl

i feel like farabee could make it but they would raather just send him to ahl for a season to bulk up and get all kinds of toi

so did u guys see the latest on twitter?
apparently frank seravalli is saying he got told from a player that he ran into that hayes would only sign in philly if they overpaid him
a friend of hayes ryan whitney tweeted thats bs he was talking about how fired up hewould be to play for philly ect ect when they were hanging out the day before servali "ran into this unnamed player"


even if its true who cares its not like its massive overpay to what he likely woulda got as a UFA and servalli is all like
"idk why they gave up a 5th on top of overpaying him" like OMG END OF THE WORLD ... its a 5th bro calm your tits


i hope hayes has some good seasons as a flyer and proves all these doubters wrong kind of annoying seeing people act like the guys getting twice as much as he should be
i admit hes slightly overpaid but god damn is it really enough to keep on about it months later?like jeeeezus lol this season needs to start
