Still finding it hard to believe that flyers would retain 3 and 4 years on both guys.

Agreed, do you think anyone wants to take on the entire Krug contract?

Good enough, don’t think anyone takes Krug’s whole contract

i understand what Philly is doing. They want to rebuild and set themselves up to be ready to get better in 3 years. I do think the STL deal hurts them though.

Yes they move the Sanheim contract before Sanheim has protection and his deal likely loses serious value as they are terrible and they are maximizing returns for this draft class

but...
they are using all of their retains. A retained TK would get a mega return and they lose the ability to retain at the trade deadline to gain some extra assets.

I dont think Philly will need to retain that much of Hayes contract, if any. Bring a 3rd team or something

Think we're all on the same page with Tony. I just suggested either Mattheos or Bokk, two RFA's the Canes probably don't want to qualify. I have seen both now. I think it will be one of them. Shrewd business on both sides.
