The Flyers will likely start the year in the bottom third of payroll and possibly a bottom 5 cap team. If they do not resign Simmonds, the situation next year could be similar. While they do have to resign Konency and Provorov among others, they are losing Lehetera's contract and possibly others including, Simmonds, Elliot, Neuvirth, Raffl, Weal and Weise buyout . The following year they flyers will have to resign Patrick but are again losing anchor contracts in MacDonald and Weise (if he wasn't already bought out).
It's quite a reversal from when Holmgren was running the show.
The Flyers almost don't have the roster space to add a free agent given their prospect situation but they do have the cap space to make a significant addition next year. Next year's free agent class may include Seguin, Skinner, Karlsson, Panarin, Wheeler, Pacioretty, Simmonds, Eberele, Silfverberg, Zuccarello. Hayes among others. Many of those players would strengthen what looks to be an already very deep team.
Interesting times indeed and quite a bizarre situation to be in as a Flyers fan.
