Ryan Hartman

The Flyers announced on Tuesday that they have extended qualifying offers to four players -- defenseman Ivan Provorov and forwards Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton and Nicolas Aube-Kubel.

An interesting possibility stemmed from a tweet from former NHL scout Roger Dicklund, could Wayne Simmonds return to the Flyers on a cap-friendly deal?

In this episode, a review of the NHL Draft as well as some of the trades and the way the offseason is being perceived. 

The Flyers traded forward Ryan Hartman to the Dallas Stars for forward Tyler Pitlick, Fletcher announced on Monday afternoon.

Defenseman Travis Sanheim has re-signed with the Flyers on a two-year deal worth $6.5 million, an average annual value of $3.25 million.

Assuming Kevin Hayes is going to sign with the Flyers, what would the contract look like and what would it do to the Flyers open cap space?

For teams like the Flyers, the first focus of the offseason is on yourself, the players and moves you can control. For the Flyers, those moves center around several pending free agents that will need new contracts.

The Flyers season is over, and it sets up for an interesting offseason for GM Chuck Fletcher, one that begins now that the season is over and will carry over throughout the summer and as the 2019-20 season approaches.

The season will ultimately be known for the failure to meet expectations, to take that next step in the development of a contender, and the massive fallout behind it.

The Flyers didn't get much help in the playoff race, but did close the margin to five points with another convincing win over the Islanders, and the margin will remain until the team takes the ice again on Monday night.
