2 years out with Fantilli

Wow. I would think Philly would have learned that greatly overpaying UFA's when they are rebuilding is counterproductive

Are Atkinson and Couturier likely to play again?

In the lone case of a guy like Pesce, I think it'd be the right call. They don't really have any big contracts currently, York looks like the real deal and we don't have anything even in the same stratosphere of a good partner for him. With Atkinson expiring, most of the team locked up long term, and a rising cap, I think it makes sense (should also point out that I wouldn't want a "backup player" in this case, it'd be Pesce or nobody)

99% chance Couturier plays again (there's a real chance he squeezes in a couple of games before the end of this season), Atkinson I'm going to say like 60% chance.

Canes pass on both those trades, and good luck signing Pesce, cause the Flyers are going to need that luck. As for the trades, Morrow isn’t being moved, and the Canes aren’t bringing back TDA.
