Re: Senators and Flyers working on a trade?
I'm going to guess the Sens move Chychrun+Korpisalo to Philly for nothing really surprising. Then they acquire Ullmark.
It makes no real sense for the Flyers to acquire ANOTHER goalie, but with the reports that Ottawa wants Ullmark, there's no reason to have Korp+Ullmark making as much as they will in 2025-26.
Flyers have like $75,601,428 cap hit between their dead cap, retained salary, 13F, 4D, 2G. They acquire Chychrun+Korp that adds $8,600,000 for a total of $84,201,428 then bury Ersson for a cap total of $83,051,428. That doesn't include Risto, including Risto would have a cap hit of $88,151,428 (Cap Ceiling is $88,000,000).
So maybe there's some salary retention in some moves, send down a guy whatever. But if there's actually a push by Ottawa to get Ullmark, I can't see why they'd keep Korp (who has a 10team no trade list).
But it's also the Sens and they could think that doubling down on investing in their goaltending is the right way to go.
