With all the rumors heading into last weekend’s NHL Draft, some Flyers fans are a little disappointed that Briere and the Flyers haven’t pulled off a blockbuster move, outside of Matvei Michkov’s early arrival. No trade-up in the first round. No Trevor Zegras or any other young center yet. Just contracts for Garnet Hathaway and Erik Johnson, which aren’t the most inspiring of deals. For this offseason to be considered successful, does Philly’s GM need to make a big splash in the trade market?

I feel like this year is a sort of holding pattern - we need to get Johansen and Petersen off the books and hopefully trade Risto. We need to clear cap space for the future.

I don’t think we are there just yet but close. They need some of these bad contracts off before they can start to spend some money on some big UFAs or make trades. Plus next year’s draft will be critical especially if they have three picks in the first round. There is potential first line talent to help Michkov with. Draft additional young talent, continue building a young nucleus, then sign 2-3 big veteran UFAs that can make an immediate impact without trading young pieces. Maybe a player like Draisaitl or Marner becomes available too. I feel like in two seasons the Flyers are going to become serious contenders for a long time. Briere’s toughest decision will be whether to keep Couturier or move on from him if he doesn’t produce good numbers this year.

We need to pick up a center because what if Couts has another injury. Or possibly someone on the Phantoms is ready to make the jump?

I expected more turnover of the roster through from Briere by Year 2.. This feels like the Hextall rebuild where he was banking on the veteran nucleus to mesh with the draft picks. The problem is that the draft picks have to develop before the nucleus gets too old. If we sign Konecny, these draft picks have to be ready in 2-3 years, not 4-5 years when he’s 32-33 years old. That’s where the Hextall rebuild failed as G and Vorachek were old by the time the draft picks filled out the roster. Here is an example of Russ Farewell early 90’s rebuild of what I expected. He traded Ron Sutter for Rod Brindamour and traded Rick Tocchet for Mark Recchi. Both players he traded were great players but he got 2 younger players in return to grow with Forsberg (eventually Lindtos). Of course Clarke later flipped Recchi for LeClair and Desjardins but that was a once in a lifetime steal trade.

Right now the Flyers don't have a nucleus. This is a critical season coming up to determine who will be staying and who should go.

We need a 1 C. There are a few good young ones available. If Danny doesn’t get one soon, he failed at the off season. Michkov & his camp deserves the praise for his early arrival.

They need some cap flexibility first before making some big moves. Next offseason a lot of bad contracts are off which will allow them to do much more.
