The Flyers have Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek locked up for atleast the next 4 years. I presume the next 4 years will be much more productive than the 4 years beyond that should they choose to play.
The next 4 years also give us the the advantage of having coots, and ghost locked up to extremely favorable contracts, while having a pleothera of talented young players such as nolan ,sanheim, myers , provorov, frost, lindholm, hart, konecny etc all under team control for the next 4 years.
it is quite possible that our lineup looks like this within the next 4 years.
Giroux Coots konecny
Lindblom patrick voracek
jvr frost Allison
farabee rubstov laberge
provy myers
sanheim ghost
morin ginning
friedman
hart
that would presumbably leave top prospects such as o'brien, ratcliffe, and Tanner L as guys would would not be on the roster plus a vareity of potential hidden gems we have out there.
the only player in that groupoing that does not fit the immediate time frame in which they would be needed is Hart.
I think it will take hart atleast 2 years to get up to the flyers and become a goalie that can win a cup. That means we only have a 2 year window of having our highest probability of winning a cup . I don't like the fact that hexy has been very patient with this group, drafting and developing to only have a 2 year window. I think something needs to be down to focus on this next for years. for something needs to be done to focus on the years beyond giroux and voracek.
I think signing bobrovsky gives us a chance to win immediately. Which makess Hart Expendable. Considering this roster we should have the capsapce to do it.
As much i like Carter Hart and am impressed by his ability, I don't see a time frame in which we win a cup with him and giroux on the same roster.
