Team: 2017-18 Philadelphia Flyers

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 28, 2018

Published: Feb. 1, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Obviously the bottom 6 need work for the Flyers. Can't see Hexy spending big to fix things in the short run, but perhaps some bargains can be found. Per TSN, Ward and Hansen could be sold by San Jose as pending UFAs. The Flyers do the same here with Flip. It's not a pure sell move by San Jose, as they swap bottom of the order veteran wingers who could both use a change of scenery. To make up for the salary commitment to Weise, the Sharks pocket a token early 7th rounder.

As a big body, the Flyers can use Ward on the 2nd power play unit in front of the net. Finally, both units can work the same system. I have Travis Sanheim recalled and playing some PP2 minutes as the left hand shot. It's a bit radical to have a D man play like a forward there, but he has offensive ability, so the Flyers might as well take advantage of it.

The PK on the other hand still has its issues. Maybe Vecchione can make the difference there, as well as add some juice to the third line. Thoughts?
