Got to get in the habit of using this site more regularly.

With that in mind, the way too early look at #Flyers cap breakdown for 2025/26. This includes any player who counted against the cap at some point this season. Using that consistently, Flyers would have 19th most space going into offseason.

I'm disappointed that I haven't seen any tabloid refer to the Vance Greenland trip as the 'base of pigs'.

Loving You, Minnie Riperton 🤮

And if Richard clears and is sent down to LV tomorrow, or if he's claimed. The AAV the Flyers can add at deadline goes up to c5.75m. Barring any further movement.

With the Gaucher demotion, the Flyers will be banking cap space once again. Come the deadline, they'll be able to add a c4.475m AAV, assuming no other changes between now and then.

With the recalls of Andrae and Gaucher, the Flyers will be exceeding the daily cap limit and therefore not banking any cap space ahead of the deadline. Would assume demotions will come once visas are sorted for Kuzmenko and Pelletier.

Finally, get to mention a Flyers trade on Bluesky. Very overdue.

For those who said you can't make a trade just to make a trade, I give you, Danny Briere.

He'll solve that glaring C issue next time.

I wouldn't take that risk at 5.375m for next 3 years. Finally gonna be free of Petersen's hit at end of the year.

Get a Lankinen type in July, assuming the 3 we have don't all figure it out.

God no. He isn't performing any better than any of the 3 we have, and he's more expensive. Wouldn't even trade for Petersen straight up, because of the term left.

Little reason to think not. But it'll include players you might not want to part with.

Make Kolosov the #1 already 😜

Chuck Fletcher: Trades are hard.

Danny Briere:

Gyles Brandreth on QI telling a story: Did you ever do that thing that I used to do when I was a little boy of putting bits of cotton across the various doors leading to the room where I was sleeping in the hope of tripping Santa up when he came in. And, about 4 in the morning, Christmas 1957, is when I first heard the word fuck.

No one tells an anecdote quite like Gyles. 😂

Keith Lockhart at the vet.

Good for Gaucher, But come on, Danny. This doesn't move the needle.

One more chance to get his GAA below 3 and Save % above 90.

39 obviously

They can't rush him back now that the 'ovs have found their games.

Kinda funny that JJ gets to say the line 'discover movement that inspires' on a Flyers broadcast.

Someone get that message to the front office

Still not yet been able to comment on Briere making a trade on BlueSky.

Jevon Kearse

The one on the left is a supermodel.

Not very often you see that landmark and it not be raining. Timed your trip over here well.

I do wonder how many times does Danny Briere need to watch this team struggle to escape their own zone before he realises it ain't working.

It is also the kind of game that makes you think that the proverbial light at the end of the 'tank' tunnel is locomotive at top speed. 🤷‍♂️

... buy an old Flyers Mrazek jersey?

First quarter check. My Excel Flyers tracker appears to be calculating correctly. Snapshot of value for cap hit so far. Who knew we'd get the best bang for buck from Michkov. 🤷‍♂️

"That is definitely a team aiming for a top pick in the upcoming draft."

Good!!! That's what we should be doing.

It's weird to me that when updating my Flyers spreadsheet, I'm not having to consider LTIR. However, a new quirk this year is that since the Grans callup, the Flyers rosters' daily cap hit is greater than the daily cap limit. They're eating into banked space from earlier in the year. 🤷‍♂️

Not planning to at this time. Will keep them side by side and post on the one that best reflects my mood 😂
