Philadelphia Flyers considering a potential buyout concerning two players
Philadelphia Flyers GM Dan Briere will be evaluating everything this off-season, including potential buyouts regarding Cal Petersen and Cam Atkinson.
In a recent interview with NHL.com, Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Danny Briere said that they're considering all of their options when it comes to goaltender Cal Petersen and forward Cam Atkinson.
The buyout window would open 24 hours after the Stanley Cup Finals, which can mean the end of their tenure in Philadelphia for Cal Petersen and Cam Atkinson.
"We're looking at every option," Briere said. "Because we're tight on [NHL salary] cap space, we're still looking at every possible option in that direction. Both Cam Atkinson and Cal Petersen want to prove that they can still play in the NHL. So we're evaluating all of that, but we haven't made a final decision yet."
According to CapFriendly, the Flyers are projected to have just over $503,000 in cap space available for the 2024–25 season. This will go up by over $6 million before the season begins in October after Ryan Ellis lands on long-term injured reserve. Not much playing field for the Flyers if they want to make an impact on the free agent market.
