Remember when the Flyers had all that salary cap space? Yeah me neither.
After a short spending spree from GM Chuck Fletcher since the end of the regular season, the Flyers suddenly have next to nothing in terms of cap space after acquiring Kevin Hayes, Justin Braun, and Matt Niskanen. We’re factoring in what we think will eventually be deals for both restricted free agents Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny to cut pretty deep into the Flyers’ remaining $13 million or so remaining.
It’s been a pretty weird week for Ken Campbell of the Hockey News, who started by going full-on old man yelling at a cloud about what the players do with the Stanley Cup after they’ve taken home the best prize in sports.
