This team three the towel in two weeks ago. I'm not even sure if they can move up at this point to get the better draft pick? Like you said, the team has no nutsack and they need to add toughness somewhere to protect their stars.

There are a few teams around us that we could drop below. Hawks have 80 and Canuks have 80. Hope they win out and we lose out.

Lets rank our defense best to worst for this season only.

 

[lasgop8]

We will have 31 million in cap space for next season. how much of that is eaten up by signing the following

Laughton
TK
Hartman?
Prov
Sanheim

Do we need Hartman and Laughton? Def would like better supporting players.

Im pretty sure we are keeping Laughton regardless and i would think since they traded Simmer for Hartman they would want him back.

Prov will be the priciest one of the bunch.

I agree but not much more than TK i would think.

Unless they package him up in a trade.

Prov will get paid like a true #1 dman, even for a down season imo. TK will get around 6-7 million per my guess.

I just read an article and i wont post it because its from February and situations have changed since then. But they laid out the following as estimates:

Prov 6.1 per for 6 years
TK 5.5 per for 5 years
Laughton 2 per for 2 years
Sanheim 2.25 per for 2 years

Hopefully we can get a little better discount on Provy, that would be awesome and help big in a bigger gun.

This shitty D needs another vet besides Gudas.
The D was absolute shit with him not in the lineup yesterday.

And let Hartman walk....he was impressive his first start and has been mediocre since.

Estimated to be somewhere around 15-16 for these four players. This would leave us approximately 15 million to spend on free agents but i suspect we wont spend it all.

We still have the following players the year after next as RFAs'

Patrick
Hagg
Myers
Lidblom.

If we let Hartman walk we basically gave Simmonds away for nothing.

I agree Hartman was impressive in his first game with us and then nothing after. I would think its because our team is built as a bunch of pusses and it rubs off on everyone.

 

[lasgop8]

He is a UFA and we weren't paying him anyway. Another awesome fee agent signing by Hextall

Well yeah......
Who doesn't like rubbing up on some.....oh wait.

There's still talk of Simmer possibly coming back...which I'm not opposed to at all.

I wouldn't mind Simmer coming back but it has to be at a good price for both.

Prov 6.1 per for 6 years
TK 5.5 per for 5 years
Laughton 2 per for 2 years
Sanheim 2.25 per for 2 years

I think they'll do:

Provorov - 7M x 7 years
TK - 4M x 4 years
Laughton - 2M x 2 years
Sanheim - 3M x 4 years

So my total is 16M, right in the same ball park. This is the offseason that makes the difference when the Flyers are cup contenders. They make their bets here on the Provorov, TK, and Sanheim deals especially. If you lock down Provorv, Sanheim, and Ghost and they turn in to legitimate top 3 defensemen, having them at 14.5M total looks unbelievable in a year or two. Some teams are paying 10+ for just a #1 dman.

Add TK, who could be a 2nd line guy, at 4M is a good deal. Couturier, a legitimate 1C at 4.3. The Flyers are in cap heaven. Just have to get these guys to develop in to what they've shown they're capable of.

The goal is to have Hartman and Laughton on the 4th line. Raffl too. If they make the necessary additions to have a Hartman-Laughton-Raffl 4th line, the Flyers are going to be extremely deep and difficult to match up with offensively.

No more Weiss, Lehtera, Knight, Varone, Vandevelde, Bellmare, Leier bull shit. Hartman-Laughton-Raffl is a legit 4th line. They can bring energy, Laughton and Raffl can PK, and best off all, at 5 on 5 they're not just going to sit in the defensive zone and bleed chances. Raffl has scored 20 goals in a season. Laughton and Hartman can both be 10-15 goal guys.

And to top that off, if/when injuries happen they aren't bringing up Justin Bailey to play 6 minutes a night and moving Raffl up the lineup. They're calling up Frost, Farabee, or Ratcliffe types from the Phantoms next year who can actually play on scoring lines.

That's better than I expected.
