flyers 4th line and 2 healthy scratches making 11.6 million.
Cal counts as 3.850 million and the buyouts/retention 7.596 million.


23 million in that group, lots of money wasted. doesn't include RYJO

- hello it's me 2050


You are complaining about nothing. Cal was a cap dump we got paid to take him. The rest are all short term contracts on a non contender. We dont need Cap space for UFAs. We need Cap space to keep the guys we need and we have that as most the cap you are complaining about will be off the books within 1-2 years

- so laying out facts is now complaining? love when the flyers felators come out.

- cap space can be used several ways, no? didn't mention anything about UFA.

- simple question. Do you think it is smart business to have all that money tied up in the group I identified?

Incase 1 of the starting 6 can't play. The 7th steps up. You don't carry 8 unless you absolutely need to.

They have 6 healthy D. If another gets hurt , hust fly the 8th out.

- WhiskeyMan


Teams that have 6 healthy D still carry a 7th. Why? Especially on road trips. Why if you can just hustle fly another out?

He had to get multiple innings out of somebody. Can't use Alvarado. He's a manager managing a team whose star players can't hit and his best relievers can't pitch right now.

He asked for a trade and then signed a 1 year deal. I guess he is betting on himself?

Facts are that the flyers are not signing a big FA this season or the next.

They recieved 2 salary dumps for 2 first round picks.

About the time they are ready to sign a big FA, only ellis will be taking up dead cap space

Nothing to complain about.

they aint getting ant elite level free agents any time soon. there are many better options to go play for.

2 bad salary dumps. should have got more.

none of what you posted change what I said in my initial post on the matter

so, you're ok having all that money tied up in the group? you think that is good business? yes or no will suffice.

Does MJL know about an injury that the rest of us don’t or does he not consider RR, Zamula or EJ not to be NHL defenseman?

I agree with you - but that says a poop TON about how this team was built -- a lot of joy and vibes until it mattered

We will here the same tired cliches - I need to do better yada yada yada

How the coaching staff did not change the hitters approach as the season wore on is more than worrisome

What choice does he have? Toronto’s version of Robertson isn’t very good.

They also gave up players and picks to get those picks --- jones already mentioned they will spend when the cap situation improves

Pens looking good. Poised for a post season run again. Great work by ownership.
