Arbitration dates for pair of Flyers RFAs finally known

Taking over for the dear, departed Cap Friendly -- which allowed thousands of hockey fans pretend they're amateur armchair GMs and let loose thousands of endless conversations on social media -- PuckPedia managed to pull off a coup over the weekend. 

The comprehensive site listed the entirety of the restricted free agent class in the NHL, as well as their presumed arbitration hearing dates with their respective teams.

For the Philadelphia Flyers, there are two players with a pending meeting: forward Trevor Zegras and defenseman Jamie Drysdale. The latter is set for a meeting with GM Danny Briere next Monday, July 20, while the former is scheduled for Wednesday, July 22.

Zegras is coming off a career season where he posted 67 points (26G, 41A) over 81 games while in the final season of a 3-year deal worth an average annual value of $5.75 million inked with his former club, the Anaheim Ducks.

Drysdale racked up 32 points (8G, 24A) across 78 games a season ago, while also finishing up a 3-year deal worth $2.3M AAV also signed with the Ducks. 

There has been no indication from the Flyers front office as of yet how either contract situation would progress, and no word from either the local, national or international insiders on what might lie ahead.
