Hextall is trying to trade Vinny Lecavalier to gain an immediate $4.5 million in salary cap money. He's also believed to be shopping both Nicklas Grossmann and Luke Schenn, which gain him a combined $7.1 million and give him a legit chance to make a major move in free agency next week.
Hextall admitted the focus Friday was more about the draft and there was so much “stress” that he felt handling the roster might be suited to tackle Saturday morning.
In fact, Hextall thinks something could go down Saturday that offers the Flyers some much needed cap relief.
"We've talked, people have called us and they know we have a lot of defensemen," Hextall said. "I don't know how it's going to shake out or whether something happens (Saturday) or after July 1.
"I'm confident something will happen."
These type of things are best left for Day 2 of the NHL draft, Hextall said.
"The second day is a little more relaxed," he said. "I think it's easier."
