Current Flyers roster and salaries...
nhlnumbers.com » NHL Team Salaries » Philadelphia Flyers They are going to have to make cap room to sign a #1 center... so expect Sanderson and Gauthier to be gone for sure. Mike York will not be resigned. Also, all reports are that Joni is being shopped, and Edmonton is the most interested. Wouldn't be shocked to see him go soon or on draft day.

Sucks, I like Sanderson and Goat a lot but such is needed to make a real team I guess. Didn't goat just get extended or no? Did fridge retire yet or what?
I doubt we'll get much for Joni but I'll take his money. Once he leaves he'll be a top 3 dman I'm sure, lol

Good idea of what their current lines are...
Gagne/UFA/Knuble Hartnell/Carter/Upshall Kapanen/Richards/Afenasenkov Eager/Umberger/??? <--could be anyone Young guys with a shot... Downie, Putolny, Ruzicka Defense... Timmonen, Pitkanen, Hatcher, Coburn, Kukkonen, Gauthier, Jones, Parent, Picard Something will be done about that, who knows what the combos will be.

You may be suprised what we get for Joni. Rumor is Pitkanen to Edmonton for Jeffry Lupol or Raffy Torres and the #15 pick. Thats not a bad deal for us at all. Joni's potential still has some weight.

I really like those two top lines and or course the 3rd line I heart!
Wouldn't the recently signed Cote be with Eager/Umberger?

At this point I'd rather get what we can for Joni (it sounds like it won't be as bad as I expected) and keep Goat. Sanderson showed his age towards the end of the season last year I think so he is certainly expendable...just liked his attitude, grit, and SPEED!

I'm so torn on the whole Joni thing... he's only 23 years old, thats a baby when it comes to NHL d-men. Very few young d-men are very good, it takes them longer to learn. But he was so brutally bad last season, you wonder if it was more hype than actual talent with him. I don't want to be the one who has to make this call thats for sure.
I guess Cote could get a shot on that line, he signed a two-way contract so he will probably spend most of his time on the Phantoms... too many options to even guess. Do they sign a new enforcer to help out Eager? Do they re-sign Fedoruk (who is an UFA)?

I believe a lot of it is age,injuries, and the type of seasons the Flyers had.I would not give up on him.It would be a mistake to give up on him for a bad season cause he will be a top D man in time
