Ivan Provorov
The Flyers announced on Tuesday that they have extended qualifying offers to four players — defenseman Ivan Provorov and forwards Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton and Nicolas Aube-Kubel.
An interesting possibility stemmed from a tweet from former NHL scout Roger Dicklund, could Wayne Simmonds return to the Flyers on a cap-friendly deal?
The Flyers traded forward Ryan Hartman to the Dallas Stars for forward Tyler Pitlick, Fletcher announced on Monday afternoon.
Defenseman Travis Sanheim has re-signed with the Flyers on a two-year deal worth $6.5 million, an average annual value of $3.25 million.

The draft still marks an important offseason event for the Flyers. But this year, it is different. It is Chuck Fletcher’s first draft as GM of the Flyers. And that means a new approach to the draft for the Flyers.
The Flyers are holding out hope that Niskanen’s on-ice performance improves to form while his off-ice intangibles serve as the immediate value. Niskanen has gone the distance with a team before. He’s been the veteran in a group of young defensemen. He’s had to be a leader, saying on Friday that he “grew into” the role.
Assuming Kevin Hayes is going to sign with the Flyers, what would the contract look like and what would it do to the Flyers open cap space?
Chuck Fletcher got aggressive early and traded for the rights to free-agent forward Kevin Hayes. Should Hayes sign with the Flyers, this will not be the last new addition. It may not be the last trade. It’s only the beginning of Fletcher’s aggressive approach to the offseason.
Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher faces a critical first offseason and plans to attack it head-on. “I think we’re going to be very aggressive in the trade and free agent markets in the sense of looking into every possible situation that can help us,” Fletcher said.
