Another missed opportunity for the Philadelphia Flyers, they signed Marc Staal
The Philadelphia Flyers are in the process of rebuilding their roster, but there are concerns about their recent moves.
Despite making a few acquisitions, Danny Briere missed out on the chance to sign one of the best free agents, Vladimir Tarasenko, due to their limited cap space of $2.6 million.
1x$5 for Tarasenko is exactly what the Flyers should've done if they actually cared about «flipping players at the deadline» instead of the $ they committed to a bunch of washed up garbage, but hey, why do something good that actually makes sense in a rebuild?

Instead of trading Travis Sanheim to make room for Tarasenko, they signed Marc Staal for $1.1 million, who may be a good locker-room leader but is past his prime and not a strong offensive player.
While Hathway is a decent addition to the 4th line, signing him for $2.3 million combined with Staal's contract means they missed out on the opportunity to sign Tarasenko and develop a younger defenseman.
This is a rare mistake by Briere, but collecting average players is not the best strategy in my opinion.
