How Cam York's New Flyers Contract Changes Salary Cap Outlook
The Flyers locked Cam York down for five years on Monday. (Photo: Eric Hartline, Imagn Images) After re-signing Cam York, the Philadelphia Flyers have depleted virtually all of their salary cap space ahead of the start of the 2025-26 season. York, 24, signed a five-year, $25.75 million ($5.15 AAV) contract with the Flyers on Monday morning, wrapping up the team's offseason business but leaving them in a short-term bind financially. Advertisement At the time of this writing, PuckPedia shows the Flyers have just $370k in cap space with only 11 forwards on the active roster, which is assuming Tyson Foerster will begin the 2025-26 season on injured reserve. This meager amount of cap space, is, as we know, not nearly enough to bring up a 12th forward to the active roster at this time. By the start of the season, the Flyers are expected to send goalie Ivan Fedotov and his $3.275 million cap hit to the AHL, which will generate $1.15 million in cap space via the burial threshold. That's enough for one replacement player and one player only. Assuming Foerster and Rasmus Ristolainen are both indeed unavailable to start the season, the Flyers will, for all intents and purposes, begin the next campaign with just one extra healthy body on the roster. Advertisement Foerster's vacancy in the lineup creates a second opening on the left wing; Alex Bump and Nikita Grebenkin are the two likeliest options to fill these holes. By extension, this also means that Nick Deslauriers will have to play every night to start the year. With Bump, Grebenkin, and newcomer Dennis Gilbert on the roster, and with Noah Juulsen wresting control of a spot in the opening night lineup, the Flyers would be down to $495k in cap space with Foerster and Ristolainen on injured reserve.

First is that the Flyers won't have the money to call up another player from the AHL in the event of further injury. Advertisement Second is that the NHL manages salary cap on a daily basis, and each day, a portion of each player's salary counts against the team's cap. If a team spends less than the maximum cap on a given day, that unused cap space is accumulated and added to the bank. So, the more unused cap space, the better, and the Flyers are pushing it to the limit at the moment. Flyers Among NHL Leaders in Dead Salary Cap Space Flyers Among NHL Leaders in Dead Salary Cap Space The Philadelphia Flyers will head into the 2025-26 season with the third-highest amount of dead salary cap space in the NHL. The Flyers could always add Foerster, Ristolainen, or Ryan Ellis to LTIR to create space in a pinch, but they would then cease to accrue the aforementioned cap space. Advertisement The Flyers are a team that likes to keep its options open going forward, and it's possible they use their last salary retention spot to facilitate a trade at some point this season. In the end, the Flyers got a great deal with York's new contract in terms of both length and salary, but they'll first need to navigate some short-term obstacles before they begin truly reaping the rewards.

Rasmus Ristolainen and two other players named by the Philadelphia Flyers have to move on by 2025
Rasmus Ristolainen and two other players named by the Philadelphia Flyers have to move on by 2025 (Image Via Twitter) The Philadelphia Flyers are one step away from yet another rebuilding phase, having endured yet another disappointing season in 2024-25. While they did act ambitiously to try to change their fate, the attempted transition had an uninspiring end, necessitating evaluation again. With the more talented newcomer Trevor Zegras infusing some youth and excitement into the roster, the focus is now on eliminating the long-standing impediments faced by the franchise. Philadelphia has to finally bring itself to part ways with players who have failed in their assignments to step onto a playoff-caliber path. Garnet Hathaway , Samuel Ersson , and Rasmus Ristolainen no longer fit the Flyers' direction Bokondji Imama Hit on Garnet Hathaway For all his brands of grittiness and toughness, this style is increasingly out of place in a speed-centric league. At 33 years of age, Hathaway scarcely registers on the score sheet while his hit of $2.4 million on the cap seems too much for a player who contributes meagerly on offense. With youth and faster play style taking precedence in Philadelphia, they would do better to give Hathaway's ice time to younger forwards who have that much more upside. The goaltending situation in Philadelphia, especially for Samuel Ersson, is one that invites scrutiny. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The 25-year-old Swedish netminder was raised to prominence last season but was never able to genuinely assert himself as a dependable option in the long term. With Dan Vladar's trading-in and prospects Ivan Fedotov and Alexei Kolosov developing, Ersson is finding his seat squeezed out. Given that he showed sporadic glimmers of competence, the Flyers are in no position to endure another parameter of uncertainty between the pipes. It may be prudent to trade Ersson to extract whatever potential value remains. 10 CRAZY RASMUS RISTOLAINEN PLAYS The toughest and most pressing decision is made by Rasmus Ristolainen. A divisive personality among Flyers supporters and a strong presence on the blue line for the past several years, his position has become entangled in inconsistency and internal discord. While there have been trade rumors, Philadelphia has not managed to get to the end of it. With a new regime coming in and shaking things up in the locker room, ending Ristolainen's tenure has become paramount. Letting him stay is the last thing the team needs, potentially tearing down the karma and focus that are so critical as they set about rebuilding morale and chemistry.

Giving up on Garnet Hathaway, Samuel Ersson, and Rasmus Ristolainen goes beyond cap space; it is about identity.
