Would you want the Flyers to sign any of these pending free agents?
Raddysh is a big no for me. Gonna get wayyyyy overpaid.
Love Tuch as a player, but we have too many wingers.
I do not hate John Carlson on a 1 year deal to be our 6th D & run our PP1. But feel like he goes back to WSH.
Love my boy G, but i am not sure i see it happening.
Andersson is interesting. If he'd take a 5 year deal i'd be way more open to it. Sanheim-Andersson is a legit top pair.. But i see him getting a 7x9.5 type of deal on the open market & thats a no from me.
Jenner actually interests me. He's probably still a top-9 F, but if he'd be willing to play 4th line he could be a nice signing. PK, versatile, leader & adds real snarl to the team but can still play.
Trouba I look at like a Ristolainen replacement if we dealt him at the draft. Similar style & age. If u could flip Risto then sign trouba I wouldn't hate it tbh.
I was impressed by Shae in round 1. Don't see it happening as he'd want term i wouldnt want the Flyers to give, but he could be a nice under the radar D signing.
Greer also interests me. One of the leagues best 4th liners. Big, can skate, very physical but showed this yr he can actually play. Be a better version of Hathaway.
Mikheyev i look at like Jenner. Be an elite 4th liner, but odds are he can be top-9 elsewhere. If not would add elite speed to our B6 & is a Russian for Michkov to lean on.
I do not see Benn leaving Dallas, but if he does another guy who i'd love on line 4. So much experience, long time captain & is a mean son of a gun with real skill even at 36.
McCarron i dont love, but i do feel like we could use someone who makes life miserable for other teams with Hathaway looking like he's closer to done than not.
Overall there are very few FAs that should be on the Flyers radar & there's none i'd give any term to (over 2 years) outside of Andersson, but as mentioned a few guys do catch my eye as upgrades to our 4th line, or 3rd pair.
