PHI is front runner for Dale Weise. Could be a four-year deal.

4 years for a 4th line type?

not sure it makes much sense. hextall said they see him as a top 9 guy. too many shitty guys in the bottom six.

Looking forward to Hextall bringing in at least one top 6 guy this offseason. Shuffling around the 3rd and 4th lines isn't going to do much for this team.

andy miele is a good phantoms signing.

What is the percentage likelihood that Travis Konecny is on the Flyers at the start of next season.

25%, would be 90% (he'd play for Flyers at some point) if he was allowed to start year with Phantoms.

It's such BS these CHL kids can't play in the AHL until their over 20.

I'd say 70%. Been very firm in my belief that he makes the team outta camp

I woulda been ok signing Erikson for 6/36. Woulda hated it in 2020

I'd say less than 50%. Just turned 19, Hextall not going to rush him up unless he can put him in a role to succeed.

Signed Boyd Gordon

He's better than every forward on the team except for the Top 5. He will succeed

I don't understand why Hextall is signing a guy like Gordon.

This has been a surprisingly boring day. I expected a signing or a trade for somebody who can score

great signing if it is for one year, low money.

We don't have a young guy that can fill his role? How many 4th line players does a team need?

i don't think so. he was second in the league in defensive zone faceoff % last season (behind giroux). will be good defensively on the pk and 5 on 5. takes some heat off of giroux and coots to performs those duties. unless the contract sucks i like it.

I really like Weise on this team

If he sticks with the team, he'd likely push Bellemare to wing. The team doesn't have enough cap space to push guys like Voracek and Simmonds to the 2nd and 3rd lines

Kinda crazy Stamkos got 8/68 and we gave Jake 8/66.

moar signings for the Phantoms: F Greg Carey (AZ) and D Will O'Neill (PIT)

Ryan White signed a 1 year 1 million dollar deal with Arizona. Hextall said they couldn't find common ground but that seems like a great deal.
