-Didn't the Flyers already give up on Myers once? I get that you take him back for the cap hit, but I think Tampa chips in more than a 5th for Braun at $1M.
-I think JVR getting a 2nd will be tough - I think a team will give up value equal to a 2nd if you retain him down to $1.75M, but Philly's splitting that value with a 3rd team.
-Probably could do a little better for absorbing Horny's cap hit, but not gonna quibble. Get an asset for eating cap, works for me.
-I get why the Avs might pass on this for cap reasons, but it's also a terrible deal for the Flyers. Hayes is still a very productive player at 30, and you're giving him up for a pending UFA in Compher, a post-hype Martin Kaut, and a B-tier prospect in Ambrosio - and on top of that, you're eating $3.6M for the next 4 seasons? Bad value for the Flyers on a useful player. If you want to move on, move him this summer when more teams might be happy taking a 3x$7.1M swing on a guy like Hayes instead of having to pay 7x$7M for whoever this summer's JT Miller or Nazem Kadri is.
