Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The one where the head ups of the Philadelphia Flyers finally come to the overdue realization that a rebuild is necessary.

It starts by buying out James van Riemsdyk. While teams may be interested in taking on cap, this will be a scenario where Philadelphia can not strike a deal with another team and will ultimately be forced to buy out his final year.

With their first round pick, the Flyers select Juraj Slafkovsky and sign him to an entry-level contract to immediately play in the NHL for 2022-23.

Having lost a 2nd round pick in the trade for Rasmus Ristolainen, Philly moves some lower rounded picks to get a higher-end 2nd rounder in return rom Buffalo. With that selection, the Flyers take Jordan Gustafson.

Post-draft, Travis Sanheim is dealt to the St. Louis Blues for a veteran defenseman in Scandella and a first round pick as the main pieces of the return.

To really blow it up and let the young kids play and develop, Philly and Seattle get a deal done that sends Laughton, Lindblom, and Hayes (at 50%) to the Kraken.

Through re-signing RFAs MacEwen, Tippett, Allison, and Frost for the NHL roster and signing Ivan Fedotov for his first NHL action, Philadelphia now has nearly $14M in cap room as the rebuild officially begins.
