Extension talks with Trevor Zegras are expected soon for the Philadelphia Flyers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mug NHL<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman on Philadelphia Flyers pending RFA forward Trevor Zegras: \u201cI\u2019ll expect to essentially get happening Zegras in near term here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman added that they\u2019d wish to get a contract extension done with RFA defenseman Jamie Drysdale.<\/p>\n

Re-signing RFA forward Trevor Zegras must be their first priority. There was a very good fit, but it surely likely won\u2019t be come low-cost. Defenseman Jamie Drsydale is one other RFA they\u2019ll wish to re-sign. Backup goaltender Samuel Ersson can also be an RFA, but will not be as big of a priority as the opposite two.<\/p>\n

GM Daniel Briere could have some salary cap space to work with. They might have a look at one other goaltender to pair with Dan Vladar in the event that they wish to move on from Ersson.<\/p>\n

The Flyers had the worst regular season power play at just 15.7%.<\/p>\n

Things didn\u2019t go great for Tyler Myers and Michael Bunting in Dallas, and each will not be back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lia Assimakopoulos<\/strong><\/a>: The Dallas Stars trade deadline acquisitions of defenseman Tyler Myers and forward Michael Bunting didn\u2019t go as that they had hoped. They gave up a 2nd and 4th for Myers with salary retained, and a third for Bunting. Each were scratched at time within the first-round and made some costly mistakes on the ice. Each were coming off groin injuries.<\/p>\n

Myers has a yr left on his contract at a $1.5 million cap hit. GM Jim Nill could look to maneuver him. He has a 12-team no-trade list.<\/p>\n

Bunting is a pending UFA, and there isn\u2019t room to bring him back even in the event that they desired to. He\u2019s coming off a $4.5 million deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going to take a while here, enjoy a while with family after which reset and see what the longer term holds,\u201d Bunting said last week. \u201cI loved it here. Dallas is an important place to play. And this team obviously has a vivid future. It\u2019s a weird thing when you recognize you will have a contract expiring, and also you don\u2019t know what\u2019s in store.\u201d<\/p>\n
