Thirdly the flyers will still suck next season. In fact they will embrace the suck. Torterella has been heard espousing a new mantra. “If you don’t suck you have no balls”!

Fingers and toes crossed that this get's done.

Buying out Atkinson seems to be a no brainer.
Considering that HC Utah doesn't have any Defense signed for next season at this time, it is possible that they could be open to making a deal for Risto.

Personally, I would buy out Peterson and Atkinson. The penalty this year is less than the penalty for sending Peterson to the AHL.

I really hope that Torts doesn't mess with Michkov too much.

I thought the Flyers had $28M of cap space?

Nothing can be announced until Michkov or his agent -- it cannot be the Flyers -- pay a $400,000 cost for the player to buy himself out of the remaining two seasons on his KHL contract with SKA.-EK


Why not?

Guessing it is part of the agreement between leagues that prevents one ownership group from stealing players from the other league. Making it at least appear to be entirely the player's intent.

No buyouts. Flyers need to punt completely on next year and have as much cap space as possible for 25-26. Trade one of Laughton or konecny this summer to get compliant. It’d be better if MM weren’t around but what are the flyers gonna do if he wants to be here they have to accommodate.

No series projections. No assessment of coaching changes. There was a list of the top centres and top left wings available as UFAs, but no follow-up for RW, D, or G. No update on Utah.

But stuff about Philly looking at Chychrun. Philly's plan for Michkov. Philly. Philly.

Too bad there isn't a NJ writer to discuss Keefe's hiring. Oh well.

I hope you're right. Would love to see Philly get a bust like Nolan Patrick 2.0.
