Well in comparison it's not a lot, but better than past summers. Like you said, they can easily resign everyone and a bargain buy here and there. As long as the Flyers don't go crazy with Schenn or UFAs they are in a great position next summer with more lost dead weight and hopefully a decent bridge for Ghost.

The Flyers have 11.9M of available cap space before re-signing their RFA's such as Schenn, Manning, and Cousins. That includes the Umberger buyout.

You number seems high. I don't trust some of those websites, they use fuzzy math for their end result.

Forwards (9)
Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Coots, Raffl, Read, Bellemare, VdV, Laughton

Defense (6)
Ghost, Gudas, MacDonald, Streit, MDZ, Schultz

Goalie (2)
Mason, Neuvirth

Buyout
Umberger at 1.6M

Salary 61.778 w/ bonus cushion accounted for

Did they officially announce the cap? I am using 71.4.

Ok they did officially announce that. I thought that was just the kooky estimate.

My number is not high
Cap is 73m

Flyers are at $61, 071,666.

73,000,000 - 61,071,666 = 11,928,334

This is a projected roster total, not a true off season cap picture.

Mine wasn't a prediction, more a here's a rough guess at how much cap we're looking at after re-signing the likely to return FAs.

Because he's likely to get no offers this season. He's not good and may have to settle for a tryout. Stamkos, you suck so much. Right guys??

Would be a smarter move for Edmonton than the 6 year 40 million dollar deal they're about to give Lucic.

If I'm Hartnell, I would have someone else start my car.
Maybe get the brakes checked.
Hire a food taster.
Buy a canary.
You get the drift.

If Hartnell is willing to waive his NMC for the expansion drafts, I don't know why a team with cap space wouldn't take him + an asset/reduction in salary. For some reason, he gets lumped in with these other terrible players with big contracts. He's still a good player. He's not Clarkson.

42k under but with minimum players, so something has to happen.
