As the Flyers' rebuilding efforts enter their second season, it's widely expected that the team will continue to transform their roster, with many players coming in and out as they reshape their core and prospect pool.
Like many teams that have embarked on rebuilding in the past, one key component is taking on the salary of bad contracts to acquire an extra draft pick or prospect to expedite their efforts.
According to Anthony Di Marco of The Fourth Period, the Flyers are prepared to use their salary cap as a tool to acquire more assets. Currently, the Flyers have only around $1,000,000 available.
