<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JokiStan</b></div><div>Not sure what the plan is to sign Byram, Peterka, and Quinn after this year under this plan</div></div>
31.6M in space:
Marner 12M x 8
Peterka 7M x 8
Quinn 4.5M x 2
Rousek, Levi, Johnson get a couple more years around 1M
Greenway, Girgensons, Foegele replaced with ELCs.
Leaves 2M in space.
Samuelsson/Byram/Clifton is where you make room. Can't carry 6 D making 3M plus. But that's a problem for after next season. Maybe can just sell 2 and have Strbak/Novikov/Komarov/11th overall be ready. Or add cheap UFAs.
Being good first is the priority though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>Ofc Torts (or Shaw) is big part of the improved PK and the addition of Poehling did help for sure. But as said, he's been big part of their PK and could eat minutes in there to let Tuch, Cozens or someone else to focus more on 5v5/PP.
And just wondering why Oilers, Rangers, Leafs, Avs or even Sabres were interested of him, if he'd be as bad as Sabres fans say. At least the GMs of the contenders (and Sabres) can see something in him.
If he would be going to be traded to Sabres, I think Krebs would be part of the deal and could help both teams. Sabres would get more physical 3C and Flyers younger reclamation project.</div></div>
I don't see how a guy can be part of the worst PK year over year for 3+ years and then when everything else changes and it gets better he's seen as a positive piece of it? Everything else is what caused the improvement.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>Naa, even if you do have some personal vendetta against Laughton, and he had a bit of a down year, he'd be making your bottom-6 and PK stronger + brings leadership and work ethic into your young team. Flyers had 4th best PK, Laughton played 2nd most in PP of Flyers forwards, only Poehling had 5sec/game more. And just because for some people points are what matters, Laughton had 8 SH points, while Sabres as a team scored 7 goals SH.
And about that trade, even if the value is kinda close for what Flyers probably would want, I think they'd still decline that. They really don't need more small LHD or RW. Flyers FO and Tortorella really values him, and they had many teams interested on him, but they're not trading him for just the sake of trading.
" "Fair value" wasn't going to cut it, Brière said, because for everything Laughton has brought to the Flyers, especially in the past two years as the organization set out on its rebuild, he means a whole lot more than that. "</div></div>
He's an absolute liability 5v5 and the Sabres PK was already plenty good.
Not to mention the Flyers had one of the worst PKs in the league the 3 years prior to this year where he was still the most common forward on the ice.
So it's far less likely that he was the cause of success, and far more likely that it was Torts' system mixed with the rise of York, Seeler, and Poehling.
Can't discount the removal of Staal and Risto from the PK either.
No need to spend quality assets on that.

Either your 24 1st or one your top young guys like
Benson/ Quinn/ Peterka need to be involved.
Or even a Cozens
Savoie is your 4th/5th best u22 forward and they have no need for Johnson. Minnesota have a decent amount of similar potential LHD prospects already.
I’d say your offer would have to be
24 1st+ Quinn + a few more mid round picks or B tier prospects</div></div>

He won't be a UFA after 2 more years. He'll only be 25 with credit for 5 seasons I believe. They'll have one more year of team control.

I agree. I think next summer he's more of a buyout candidate to make space for Quinn/Peterka/Byram to get extensions.

Gets you better players now. I'm dealing with 3 years from now 3 years from now. Skinner is also blocking prospects who cost less than 1M who might be just as good if not better than him already.

Just get past this year, his actual money owed drops to 7mill and then 5mill. Think Pegula would do 50% then when he's actually paying less than his Cap hit even at 50%. Hope he keeps scoring goals, think there will be Teams that would take him for 3.5mill and then 2.5mill the last 2 years.</div></div>
It saves money all 3 years and then the negative money is 2.5M for the 3 years after that. You can see the payout structure if you look at the Long Term Outlook

RFA Acquisition
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>You are leaving no cap space for Peterka, Quinn and Byram extensions if cap will not raise significantly</div></div>
It's extremely tight but bridges are necessary to get through the Skinner contract assuming no other moves:
Peterka 2 yrs x 6M
Quinn 2yrs x 5M
Byram 2yrs x 5M
That leaves 3M for 4 skaters and a goalie. A Skinner buyout makes it 8M for 5 skaters and a goalie.
Assuming Kulich, Savoie, Rousek, Johnson, Levi at 1M each.
That leaves 3M for 1 skater.
Aside from this, I'm not fully sold on Byram yet. He's where the flexibility comes in.
I really like him but with Dahlin and Power he is the replaceable piece.
