With that cap space, you should sign someone better than Elliot to backup Hart -- or play 1A/1B with him. Bernier, Raanta, Reimer, Driedger, etc.

I think they stick with that tandem one more year. The goaltending was sub-par but they were left out to dry so many times. I see your point, but Hart hopefully is on a bridge deal which will increase drastically in a few years.......hopefully. Have to resign Coots, Farabee, Frost, and maybe even Giroux. Gonna need some Cap.

Fair points. The bottom 6 is pretty expensive, so I wonder if they try to find some $$ by cutting costs there when the top guys need new deals. I could see a 2 x $3m deal for Bernier or something and maybe you’re able to shave off $500k off of Hart’s salary. $5m for a goaltending tandem is pretty darn cheap compared to a lot of other teams. 1 year of Holtby could be interesting too.

They most certainly have to do something. The Flyers are in the state of they have the talent to compete, but they are also one bad year away from a potential rebuild because of the flat out inconsistencies in this core/team. I have no clue what they are going to do this offseason which is exciting. However, I am totally prepared to be let down. haha

Would you take a 3rd for Patrick? I know he could still have some upside but his poor play combined with an injury history is a bit concerning.

Personally, I wouldn't but who knows what the Flyers would do. I am not 100 percent I would deal him for a 2nd. I do understand if they did though. Patrick has shown flashes of skill, but this year was just not good. They moved him up and down the lineup. Gave him top pairing line mates and he just looked lost. His lack of hustle and losing puck battles was most concerning.

Did Patrick have the stem cell surgery for his concussions?
