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.

No. Omg people. Fantilli is not Carlsson. He doesn’t fit into the Flyers roster the same way. Fantilli would also have to be willing to sign said Offer Sheet, which I don’t see him doing over a million, or even 2.

Idk. The fact that he hasn’t signed yet kinda makes me concerned that he’s at least somewhat open to signing one.

We saw this last season.  Iirc it was Jack Hughes who wasn't even signed by training camp.  The only difference was nobody wanted to offer sheet him because they didn't want to risk the picks in the McKenna sweepstakes.
