Flyers Free Agent Focus: Derek Grant v. Nate Thompson

You can only have one. Something your mom might tell you when you’re picking a toy as a child. The same premise applies to Chuck Fletcher’s approach to free agency. According to CapFriendly, the Flyers have just over $7.8 million to plug four spots in the lineup, not counting extra forwards or defensemen. With one forward, two defensemen, and one backup goalie minimum to sign, Chuck Fletcher has his work cut out for him when it comes to free agents.

One decision Fletcher has to make is centered around the bottom-six of the lineup. Deadline acquisitions Nate Thompson and Derek Grant are both unrestricted free agents and are likely to be cheap(er) options.
