The rebuilding Philadelphia Flyers have the highest cap hit in the NHL, but they can use LTIR to save money and make moves to improve their roster. By placing players like Ryan Ellis and Ryan Johansen on LTIR, they can free up cap space and potentially make big trades or signings. Buyouts and trades could further increase their financial flexibility.
With potential signings of RFAs like Bobby Brink and Egor Zamula, the Flyers could have room to add impactful players to their roster and potentially make a push for the postseason in 2024-25. They have the cap space to make significant moves, whether through trades, free agency, or taking on cap dumps for assets.
