This should go well.

For getting a top 5 pick that is.

I truly cannot figure out how they can look at this depth and be like "Yeah, it's contending time." This has been obvious since last season. The brutal math is they are always one injury to a decent player away from that player being replaced with guys who would be mediocre in the AHL.

Team's with bad depth get totally gutted by injuries to guys like Cam York. Good teams shrug those off. This has been the case going back to Hextall and they still refuse to rebuild or take talent seriously.
 
Who said it was "contending time?"

All they've said is they'd like to compete for a playoff slot b/c it's better for player development than playing out the string.
 
Compete for a playoff spot??
They lack a 1C and a 2C along with a top D pair and they have only one goalie who even belongs in the NHL, let alone one that’s a proven NHL starter.

Stevie Wonder could look at this roster and know that, at best, if everything broke right, they’re an 80-84 point team.

If their management team were inept it would actually be an improvement. They are a total joke and sadly the joke is on the fanbase. What’s even sadder though, is that a large portion of this fanbase still worships at the altar of Tortorella and takes the spewing of Jones as gospel.

Pathetic.

That's contending time. They've also assured us that the big thing is making the playoffs, then anything can happen. Making the playoffs and contending are the same thing to them. They've made this clear for years. To them, the extent of team building is "be mediocre enough to get in, then WIN ON HARD WORK." They're stupid.

And how was Briere supposed to rectify that in 2 years?
By trading 1st rd picks for veterans, signing big money free agents?
Buium instead of Luchanko would make no difference this season since he's still in college.

So Frost is no longer a top six forward?

York - Sanheim are certainly a top pair, not among the top ten but in the middle of the pack:

Anaheim: Fowler - Zellweger
Calgary: Bahl - Andersson
Carolina: Slavin - Burns
CBJ: Werenski - Provorov
Detroit: Edvinsson - Seider
Kings: Anderson - Gabrikov
Habs: Matheson - Guhle
Ottawa: Sanderson - Hamonic
Pens: Grzelyck - Letang
Seattle: Evans - Larsson
STL: Suter - Parayko
TB: Hedman - Raddysh
Utah: Sergachev - Kesselring
Wash: Fehervary - Carlsson
Winn: Morrisey - DeMelo

The problem isn't the first pair, but when you don't have a top ten D-man, you need an above average 2nd pair. Right now, Flyers have (2) 3rd pairs.

Then why did they trade Walker last season?
If they wanted to make the playoffs, they would have traded FOR a backup goalie.
If they wanted to make the playoffs THIS season they would have traded/signed a veteran center.

They traded him because they couldn't afford to sign him. They tried hard to keep him and Seeler together. They didn't want to trade him, but once they couldn't keep him they did.

Has it ever occurred to you that they're really bad at player evaluation? You should consider it, it explains a good amount of what is always going wrong with this team. Paired with their broken philsophy of hockey, it accounts for 98% of their position, the remaining 2% being poor luck.

If making the playoffs is the primary goal, they should have kept him and let him walk.

They probably expected that paying to buy Johnson (monstrously stupid and inexplicable for a rebuilding team, logical for a stupid team that thinks it is contending) would patch the gap.

They traded for Johnson only b/c they were short 3 D-men (Walker, Seeler and Risto).

No they weren't. They had plenty of guys to call up. But they thought doing that would be giving up on the playoffs. It's more of the same constant half measures across the board.
