Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Part 2 of Five Year Plan. We will see quite a few young guys break camp I think, and I have Gauthier making the team. I will also cover the TDL in 24. As for the draft, not gonna get into speculating who they draft but I doubt they will be on the team this year. I am also expecting Couturier and Atkinson to play in 2023-24, at the very least more than 22/23 (likely zero for both). Doesn't mean they will be the same players or play the whole season, but it is what it is.

For Cates, he reminds me a lot of Eriksson Ek's projection. While he doesn't have as much time in the NHL to back it up, I think they'd be smart to sign him to a longer deal to something below 5 million. York, I really like him but I think a bridge is more likely and same goes for Frost. They'll both get shorter term deals to prove it. Frosts' reminds me a bit of Myers' deal in situation. I hope it proves to work out better.

Moving on to trades, I do think they will look into trades for two names that have been ciruclating: Hayes and Provorov. Now Provorov has the horrible PR stench, but I think we've seen that GMs will try to get away with anything they can and he's a talented enough player that they won't care about his stupid protest. I think the Flyers will get less than before that, but still a decent enough return. Hayes I think there is interest in, depending on the amount they want to retain. I'm looking to move Provorov to a team that has an opening window and Hayes to a team that is already in one. These two will happen in the offseason.

DeAngelo will be a TDL move, as will Walker.
