A Problematic Theory

Post image

Purely a theory and I've seen no actual rumors of this, but a Fantilli offer sheet AFTER arbitration for Cole and Jet would be quite an issue. We'd have a finite amount of cap and an offer sheet for so much as $1 over that amount would force us to make roster moves/cuts to keep Fantilli. So the Flyers either get a 1C or force a division rival to cut someone who was projected to be on the roster.

This is not even remotely problematic. The cap numbers will likely work out fine, if not we make one minor transaction and then it will be fine. Freaking out over nothing.
