Lots of Flyers fans were upset when the team signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year deal worth $5.9 million. It is especially intriguing when you consider that Jack Roslovic, a younger center but with a longer history of performing, is still a free agent and would probably come at half the cost (although personally, I wouldn't mind seeing if they could find room for him now). It makes sense. Maybe that money could've been used somewhere else.
However, we don't know the full story about what goes on with free agent negotiations. We also don't know what the Flyers management team sees, values, or what they are looking for.
