Created by: sensonfire

Team: 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 14, 2023

Published: Feb. 14, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

1. Philly gets full value at the trade deadline on every pending UFA.

2. Philly wins the draft lottery and selects Connor Bedard at 1st overall.

3. Chuck Fletcher is dismissed as Flyers' GM and is replaced by somebody more competent.

4. Cutter Gauthier decides to sign his ELC instead of going back to Boston College and is ready to start the season with the Flyers.

5. Sean Couturier, Cam Atkinson and Ryan Ellis all return from injury fully rehabilitated.

6. To start the next season, Head Coach John Tortorella decides to not upset the team's chemistry and to allow everybody to play to their strengths instead of forcing certain players in to roles that they are not accustomed to.

(i.e. Connor Bedard as a third-line checker that kills penalties).

7. With a new season upon them, the Flyers under Coach Torts and a brand new GM decide to reset and embrace a future of optimism and opportunity that allows them to remain competitive night in and night out.

NYR aren’t paying a 3rd for a 9th D man.. Braun is behind Hajek. Even if it was an 8th D man. Too much. Also don’t think him returning is a good fit

How about instead of the 3rd round pick swap we swap 1st round picks

I only have the Canes in my ACGM because Capfriendly has the wrong 3rd round pick going to Carolina in the DeAngelo trade.

It's supposed to be the Rangers' 3rd because it will be the lowest.

Im going to try to be honest, I think Coots is only in the NHL for another 2-3 years. This back injury doesnt look good

Minnesota is not good enough to be buying rentals.

Have a feeling Atkinson and Ellis are done for good. Coots will return at 50% of the player he was if we are lucky, and head for buy out in a few years.

Minnesota is not good enough to be buying rentals.

Also shouldn't be paying a premium for retention when we have more cap space than we can conceivably use this season.
