I know it is a little early to be talking about this, but at the end of this season every team is awarded two amnesty clauses which in able teams to buy out two players of choice and not have their salaries count against the cap. For the Flyers, this will be an all season evaluation to see who are the odd men out. Unfortunately, the salary cap goes down from about 70 million a year to roughly 62 million a year and the Flyers are right at the top of the 70 million cap already. This means that the team next year will look a lot different than this team now. But who do they buy out? That is the question.
Obviously, guys like Giroux, Couturier, the Schenn brothers, and Voracek are safe. They don’t have high cap hits and they are the future in the Flyers organization. Other guys like Talbot, and Meszaros should be safe too because they won’t really demand much of an increase in salary when their current contracts are up.
