Would not be surprised to see Michael Peca get an internal promotion.

What will the Flyers do with their three goalies? Is Ersson the only one coming back?

None of them were any good. Even Ersson, whom I'd have more time for if the workload was heavier (55-60+ starts). But the Flyers, by and large, were a decent defensive team this season. In my view, Ersson was the worst starter in the league – even more so than Georgiev, although not by a wide margin. But he and Fedotov are signed through next season. Kolosov's deal will likely either be mutually terminated or they'll loan him back to the KHL. I wonder about a Fedotov buyout, it would open up another $515K in cap space for them next year and cost them just $258K in 2026-27.

What big name player, whether through free agency or trade, do you envision the bruins targeting this summer?

It can't be overstated how McAvoy's and Hampus Lindholm's injuries derailed their season. I'd imagine natural improvement from their returns, plus some improvement from Swayman, even without any other pickups. Realistically, they need two top-six wingers to be competitive. Doubt Marner would be interested, but could they land Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency? I'd like that fit. Of course, a Marchand reunion could still be on the table too, however unlikely.

Who in your opinion are some viable goalies the Kraken could target this offseason (via trade or free agency) to provide a solid backup option to Daccord?

Most anyone would be an improvement over Gruabuer. I'm not sure there's a more clear buyout candidate this summer. In terms of cost-effective pickups who can handle 30 games, I'd eye Alex Lyon. I'd exhaust UFA options before giving up assets in a trade. Would also be intrigued by Ilya Samsonov if Vegas doesn't keep him.

Alright folks, that's the hour. Thanks for all the great questions today and I'll be back next week!
