2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[bennysflyers16]

Is it important to get a plug with this top 5 pick ?

These Flyers beats are f***ing buffoons.

“What’s wrong with Ellis”

“Basically everything in the middle of his body”

Lol I can die on this hill, that Nashville wasn’t at least somewhat aware when they opted to move him.

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

Whoever sommerman is, he's saying nhl agents have confirmed with him that Chuck Fletcher plans on being "much more aggressive than last offseason"

God help us all

I truly hope it's correct. One of two things happens...he succeeds and we're all happy, or he crashes and burns and is fired at the end of the year leaving us with a great 2023 draft pick.

 

[Magua]

LOL. This is the guy who was AV’s longtime assistant, who was in the ECHL before last year. They switched him to the PP after French Mike was canned — that was great. Why is this guy still in the organization?!

Because they genuinely have no ideas and are lazy as f*ck.

 

[FlyerNutter]

He looks more, let’s call it sassy. When comparing him to years past he’s more defensive. Little more attitude.

I hope that bastard is feeling that axe being sharpened.

Edit: cue the mandatory mention of the 19-20 stretch as a beacon of light.

Animals tend to lash out when they're backed into a corner.

 

[Rebels57]

Darryl Williams returning as an Assistant Coach...one of AV's guys

Make it make sense

He's never playing again.

Some are a little more Cujo.

Somehow I don’t think that’s what we will see from Fletcher.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I really want to have some optimism, but f*** me sideways these 2 are idiots.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Burning assets or extra FA cap space on a backup would be stupid, so they will. Use the in-house cheapness. It's not like it matters this year. Or next, given how badly Fletcher has mangled this team. Maximize flexibility going forward.

this is mind boggling yet expected.

 

[FlyerNutter]

There is of course solace, in that nothing bad can happen as long as Daniel Briere is a part of this mix.

Peregrin Took will save the fellowship yet again.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This team is f***ing atrocious.

Tortorella has said that he wants strong assistants to help him with the stuff he sucks at, and their response is to keep confirmed failures. Fletcher does hate working though, and sticking with people who already exist minimizes the amount of work he has to do. Above all, they are lazy as hell.

Of course they were. Players of Ellis' caliber aren't traded for a 2 fizzling prospects. They knew exactly what they were doing and understood the entire picture. As usual, Fletcher did not. You will not die on this hill alone

 

[bennysflyers16]

Of course Martin Jones is an option ,,,,

Why not just come out and say no chance, he stinks.

 

[GKJ]

Backup goaltender sounds to me that they only go outside the organization for a try-out player, which quite frankly would only really be to cover themselves in case someone gets hurt in camp or early in the season. But just like everything else, it's not something they can get wrong.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I’ll take it a step further, and say his defensiveness/secrecy of the topic was on purpose. I don’t buy this magically all just sprung up the minute he hit the ice in Philly.

That BS we heard about “ohh it was my thumb” or something when being pressed about his injury history initially.

He had an idea, and now he’s milking it. Good for him I suppose.

Hart .905
Jones .900

It's all one big con - been saying it for over a year

They know how clueless Scott is and are just making millions as long as possible

Oh no my sweet innocent friend, this is the flyers. He most certainly will not be fired, he will be promoted and someone else will become the new puppet. Thank to Clarke and holmgren still being here, there is zero chance it turns out good for us

 

[bennysflyers16]

Hart .905
Jones .900

So ditch Hart then ?

Love people so scared of trying to get a better option.

 

[Curufinwe]

Will be hilarious when they do this…

What’s the funny part?

So ditch Hart then ?

A better option would probably take a trade and/or more cap space.

Letting the 25 year old rookies battle it out is the better way to go.

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

Because, again, they are too lazy to do the work on alternatives.

 

[FlyerNutter]

There should be at the very least thoughts regarding Hart’s place on this team moving forward. Not looking to openly move him, but a conversation.

I don’t question the talent. I question the physical durability.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Ellis, Risto, Yandle.

How the f*** does Fletcher still have a job at this point

He single handily is making this franchise one of the biggest jokes in the NHL
