True they can add 1 more big $ player..... looking at Minnesota they added Suter and Parise to Koviu and and went from a door mat to a playoff team the last 2 years.
But the Flyers already have 10M in cap tied up in their top-2 d-men Striet and MacDonald who they have tied up for the next 2 seasons and OMG were on the 2014-15 non-playoff team. It must be the 24 games that MacDonald missed.
The Flyers are doing the same thing the Oilers did..... locking down talent that isn't good enough to make the playoffs.
They are not leaving any cap room to bring a Dougie Hamilton into the mix or offering Monahan/Gaudreau/Lindholm RFA offer sheets.
They are not finishing low enough to draft a Monahan or Bennett
for 2016-17 they have contacts with 15 players from the non-playoff team totally just over 61M in cap.
Glad I am a Flames fan and not a Flyers fan.
