00:00You mentioned this is what teams are doing now, just paying players much earlier in their careers.
00:05The Flyers actually just kind of did that recently with Tyson Forrester, just 24 years old.
00:10They signed him to the eight-year contract.
00:11What did you make of the decision by Danny Breer and Keith Jones to lock up Forrester for eight years?
00:17Oh, awesome.
00:18Tyson Forrester obviously had the injuries last year, but he's a big forward.
00:22He's a two-way player as well.
00:24Great shot, only upside for us in the Philadelphia Flyers.
00:27Plus, he really wants to be here.
00:29He's tight in that locker room, and he's totally bought in.
00:32And I think he was interviewed yesterday.
00:34He's in the same position now.
00:36They're excited as a group.
00:37You can feel that.
00:38They're excited as a group.
00:40They want to see guys come here.
00:41And being the center of attention right now and free agency, it's a cool position to be.
00:46But I like the fact that even Drysdale and Zegras, they don't have to go to arbitration.
00:52They kind of chose to do that.
00:54That's a nice sign.
00:56That says, I want to stay here.
00:57I'm going to protect myself so the offer sheet ain't coming.
00:59Danny's biggest job now is to protect himself from the offer sheet coming down the road.
01:04You've got to have some foresight.
01:05But his tactics now, the way that they're signing players before they get to restricted free agency,
01:12that's how you're going to have to do it now.
01:14You're going to have to not lock these guys up, but give them something and keep them while they're in
01:19their prime.
01:20And I think that's the strategy they're following.
01:22It seems that way because they're signing up the young guys.
01:24They're trying to lock them into positions for them to go forward.
01:27You're going to have to go forward.
01:28I'm going to have to go forward.
01:29You're going to have to go forward.
01:31We're going to have to take a look at the law.
