With Philadelphia having a surplus of controllable talent down the wings and not being in a contention window, could it make sense to move Tippett to improve the roster elsewhere at some point?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">On Thursday\u2019s episode of\u00a0<a class=\"text-secondary underline underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l7c1Opvi2QI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" hreflang=\"en\">Daily Faceoff LIVE<\/a>, host Tyler Yaremchuk and co-host and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton were joined by NHL insider David Pagnotta to discuss why Tippett and his long-term contract could make sense for contending teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Carter Hutton: I know you talked about little bit about Philadelphia and some of their players. Is that something we see them go to now, or is this like a wait and see if they start to self destruct a little bit?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">David Pagnotta: Yeah, this is a wait and see. I mentioned yesterday that there are teams that view Owen Tippett as a potential target, but reiterating what I said yesterday, nothing is imminent. This is going to be a player that teams are keeping tabs on to see how he\u2019s being deployed and what type of usage he\u2019s getting. A lot of people view him as a legit second line threat that can put the puck in the net, but if the minutes are being allocated more toward some of the other players\u2026 I expect teams to eventually reach out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can watch the full segment and the rest of the episode here\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In January of 2024, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere signed winger Owen Tippett to an eight-year, $49.6&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-219703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
