Yesterday, two other players were included in the deal that sent Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers in Connor Bunnaman and German Rubtsov. Thanks to this, the Flyers now have 45 contracts on the 50 allowed by the league.
The reason why Fletcher dumped those contract is to sign young prospects from the organization. And we are obviously thinking about Bobby Brink, Noah Cates, Ronnie Attard or Ivan Fedotov.
Also, the Flyers could look outside the box and sign a college free agent. We are going to keep an eye on that in the next days...
