With the Nhl's Free Agency period coming up soon the Flyers have some work to do. Powe, Leighton and Coburn still unsigned to name a few. Homer has to focus on some of these players while multitasking on Trades, Signings,and Nabi.
Darroll Powe is set to be an RFA so the Flyers have some time. Power played pivotal penalty kill roles as well as added a scoring potential when paired with Giroux and Asham or JVR. He made 0.5M this past year and will most likely want around the 1-2M range. Jon Kalinski could be a possible replacement.
Michael Leighton is set to be a Unrestricted Free Agent July 1st. Holmgren said recently that he is optimistic that the Flyers and Leighton can reach a deal. Most suspect that this will be a back up role. He will look for upwards of 1.5M most likely.
Arron Asham was a key player in the cup run who hot and cold play was enough from the 3rd line. Arron is set to be a UFA July 1st. The Flyers are likely to let him go with the great play of Nodl during the playoffs. The Minnesota Wild were said to be interested in the Powerforward who made 0.6M last season.
Daniel Carcillo is set to be an RFA however there is a lot of reports that the Flyers have already reached a deal with him and were planning to announce it after the draft. Carcillo is a tough guy to put a number on so he will most likely get signed for too much. He made 0.9M last season.
Danny Syvret is also set to be a UFA. He played 21 games and put up 2 goals and 2 assists. However his play is solid he just hasn't been able to translate his offensive production to the NHL. He made 0.6M last season, it will be interesting if he re-signs at age 25.
Lukas Krajicek is set to be a UFA and it doesn't seem like the Flyers are trying to change that. The Flyers have acknowledged that they need a #5 defenseman and that Bartulis is set to be the #6. Krajicek isn't a bad defenseman he just isn't what the Flyers need out of their bottom pair. Lukas made 0.7M last season.
Braydon Coburn's name has been a hot topic. He is set to be an RFA making 1.3M last season. With the dealing of Hamhuis it looks as Cobi will be re-signed. Cobi is said to want upwards of 3M. Coburn is looked at as the Flyers 3rd or 4th defenseman and the 24 year old played with Timonen last season.
Evgeni Nabokov isn't currently a Flyer but they are talking. Rumors were that Nabi wanted too much money, but with only one other team interested that being Tampa Bay Nabi may have to take a pay cut to play on a playoff team. Nabokov is set to be a UFA and made 5.4M last season for the Sharks.
Jared Ross is set to be a UFA this offseason. He has been a great call up and has shown his value as a scorer and playmaker in the AHL but hasn't been able to translate it to the NHL. The 27 year old made 0.5M last season.
