The Philadelphia Flyers have improved while keeping some flexibility for next season
Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: Philadelphia Flyers GM Daniel Briere has improved their roster for next season, while maintaining flexibility for next offseason. Cam York was signed to an inexpensive extension, and added center depth with Christian Dvorak and skill with Trevor Zegras, and Dan Vladar as a backup. Their plan is to take a run on the playoffs next yr.
They might look to make more moves this offseason. Briere has said a proposal sheet could turn into an option. There’s also potential trade talks with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram. Each seem unlikely now at this point.

A Minnesota Wild mailbag involving Marco Rossi, Kirill Kaprizov, Artemi Panarin, and Jack Roslovic
Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic: (mailbag) There have been teams that were all for Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi, however the return were for futures or top-six forwards that the Wild weren’t all for.
If someone signed Rossi to a $7 million-plus offer sheet, isn’t sure if the Wild would match. If a proposal sheet isn’t signed, it could drag into training camp, possibly longer. The edges aren’t actively negotiating in the intervening time. A $7.02 million offer sheet has a compensation of a first- and third-round pick.
There is no such thing as a must panic if a Kirill Kaprizov contract extension isn’t done instantly. It’s still their No. 1 priority. Now, if an extension isn’t done by the beginning of the season, that would be the time to begin worrying.
Wild GM Bill Geurin didn’t wish to overpay on free agents like Nikolaj Ehlers or Mikael Granlund. Brock Boeser may need been the one exception, but he re-signed with the Canucks. They wish to keep some options open if bigger-named player decides that he wants out of his current situation.
It’s undecided which direction Artemi Panarin and the Recent York Rangers will go. He’ll be a UFA after next season, and it will make sense if the Wild had some interest in him. Panarin and Kaprizov are good friends they usually have the identical agent.

Don’t get the impression that the Wild are all for UFA forward Jack Roslovic. The Toronto Maple Leafs are.
