Fletcher hinted that he's looking to steal an RFA from a capped out team rather than going batshit in the UFA market.
Offseason - Are we going to Overpay for a Bottom 6 FA

Those little moves are "meh" until you have to watch Lehera/Varone play every night.
What is this? You're repeatedly stated that little improvements like that are totally irrelevant.
i could be wrong but, i don't think they will , judging from the mess this team is. of course if they overpay then it's always possible. if all they care about is the money.

Makes sense, better to overpay a 24 year old than a 29-30 year old on a 7 year deal.
Hartman should cost about $2 to 2.5M a year on a 2-3 year deal.
The flyers have always been a destination for free agents. Top class organization, treats its players right. A free agent might like it elsewhere, but this organization won’t stop someone from coming. And are they really a mess? Only 1 unproductive contract left. Mac for only 1 year. Young players throughout the organization. A possible franchise goalie who is 20. A lot of fans would love to have this mess on their hands.

I think with Hartman he might try to move Laughton. Also, if they sign a player like Panarin, I think lindblom could fraud bait as well.
There are a lot of possibilities for this summer. One possibility that can’t be an option is not significantly improving this roster. High end talent is needed.

i respect your opinion, but at this time, i don't agree with this being a destination or that it is a first class orginazation, not with how it's being run and the results it has produced over the last few years. hopefully they do some things to change that soon.

Actually we probably have enough high end forward talent if Lindblom and Patrick keep improving.
We're adding Frost, and Farabee this year or next year. With JVR and Hartman we go 9 deep.
What's killed us the past few years:
1) other than Mason, bad goaltending, even when Elliott played well, he couldn't stay healthy
2) bottom six forwards, we have had to play 4-5 guys who were 4th line quality or worse
3) defense, when was the last time we rolled three pairs where you didn't have to cover your eyes?

Nope. You have the cap space. Add another top player on this team and with the young players it’s a contender.

I mean that points essentially to Tampa and Toronto. I’m not sure there are too many teams that really are in an extremely tight spot with the cap.
Lol it means he will trade for Callahan from Tampa. I would die.

This is another Ghost-centered trade I could see, for Nylander especially, or Kapanen. Ghost's contract has to be super enticing to the Leafs (and everyone else).

do we need to address scoring...? aren't we 15th in the league in GF? With shitty PP, idiots coaching staff, 10 straight loses.. sure add a 20-25 goal scorer but we need PK, we need take aways, we need 4th line that plays like 4th line we need physical play and play along the boards, neutral zone play.

We're already seeing with Lindblom what experience can do for talented players.
Do we think TK, Patrick, Provorov, Sanheim and Myers have maxed out their talent?
Add Frost to that mix and how much more scoring do we need (we always want more).
Solidifying the defense, to me is the highest priority.
We struggle too much getting the puck out of our own end and into the O-zone.

We should not trade ghost . We could have 4 good dmen next year. Sanheim provorov Myers and ghost . That is far more important than nylander.
