If Fletcher needs $125,000 cap space more than he has today to do something tomorrow, he's doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense like you said unless they are about to sign some of these tryouts to contracts for the Phantoms. Otherwise they have Brennan, Willcox and Friedman in the AHL. So not sure what is up...guess we'll find out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Schlemko was ever going to fit into the plans here, so perhaps this is a "cutting of bait"? Making room to offer free agents Phantoms contracts, maybe they're seeing "a lot to like" at the development camp from some of the FA invitees. Honestly it almost seems like Fletcher is counting on a lock-out. I'm not going to pretend to know more than people that do sports management for a living because I don't but the other side of that coin is, i'm not seeing a whole bunch of savvy from this management team.

It may be more about number of contacts, though it doesn't seem like they're up against it, by my count. It may not be about salary cap at all. They may need the contact slot.

So one more forward so that is only 10 available. You have 11 forwards in the AHL under contract. So they need 3 more forwards. So that leaves 7 available. Not sure how many they have on AHL contracts. Three 3 men and needing 4. So that leaves 3 available. I'm not sure how much cushion contract wise they like to have. But i think when all is said and done they have only or 3 open contracts. But hey Chuck has it all figured out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And buying out Schlemko gives them one at the expense of a player that could have filled that role. It doesn't really help answer the "problem." Especially when they only have 3 defensemen for LHV at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the bought out contract count toward the (I think) 50 total contract limit? Did the 50 limit even survive the last CBA?

Oh i agree i am trying to understand and i can't really so i am going to hope Chuck knows what he is doing or going to do and don't make matters worse....he could have buried him and just took the 950K cap relief and have a body in case of emergency stashed in case injuries crop up. Oh well enjoy the ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, now you have to replace him, so it doesn't really do you any good to clear that spot. Honestly, the only time it makes sense to use a buyout to clear a contract is when you're right up against the limit.

Double talk???No surgeries and likely no buyouts Outside of goaltending, the Flyers were relatively healthy this season with the majority of players dealing with minor issues throughout the course of the season. The Flyers don’t anticipate any offseason surgeries, but they should know definitively after some follow-up exams. Fletcher also added he’s "not a big fan of buyouts." In buying out contracts, teams stretch out the cap hit over future seasons and that’s not an ideal situation for the Flyers' GM. Defenseman Andrew MacDonald would appear to be the likely candidate with one season at a $5 million cap hit. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/5-takeaways-flyers-gm-chuck-fletchers-2018-19-end-season-press-conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're clearing out a contract slot. Ghost is going for a player and a prospect. Lol. I seriously think it's about the contact slot, though. Because I agree with you and others that salary cap reason makes no sense. I seriously think it's about the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to move someone from a crowded D ? If so, I get it, but it has nothing to do with solving the 3rw issue, or signing a UFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
