Without a crystal ball to view Hextall's first draft weekend, it looks from here like the Flyers moved one bad contract for another. If both Hartnell and Umberger were bought out today, Hartnell would be due $15 million and Umberger $9 million in real dollars - a potential savings of $6 million in cash. The Flyers have become increasingly budget-conscious internally since new Comcast-Spectacor chief operating officer Dave Scott took over last December. Buying out Umberger, essentially grabbing a fourth-round pick to remove a tough contract, would be a little more understandable. Hextall said he wants more cap flexibility, and with Umberger's $1.5 million buyout, it would clear approximately $3 million in space.
