2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[Adam Warlock]

Imagine getting TDA, buying out Oskar,giving up a big asset to get rid of JVR and then not ending up with JG.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

He wasn't. He had some of the best defensive results on the team. He drove transition. The team was noticeably worse when they foolishly benched him. He managed to drag Hagg around while doing it.

Ghost can actually retrieve a puck himself and then move it up ice. TDA needs someone to get the puck for him. Provorov isn't that guy anymore, and he needs York, Sanheim can do it but that would leave Risto unmitigated.

You yourself admitted it's an overpay. An overpay for a player who is best in a situation we c as nt realistically provide and at that cap hit is a terrible move. It makes no sense.

Wasn't an overpay and stated the contract was in line. I said a good GM probably gets him a little less

 

[freakydallas13]

How many points did Ghost put up in his most recent Flyers season when he was traded?

What does that have to do with the fact that he put up 50 points on a worse team last season? If you're saying Ghost wasn't a 50 point player here, neither is DeAngelo.

Imagine getting TDA, buying out Oskar,giving up a big asset to get rid of JVR and then not ending up with JG.

I'm honestly hoping this happens. Full chaos.

 

[BigToe]

This team is depressing

Assuming this happens, what's our roster, based on purely currenly available players minus Oskar and JVR?

Well, LW depth looks ugly with no Farabee to start the year and no JVR or Lindblom.

 

[Diaper Mask Bandits]

I'm about at the point where I hope they dump Lindblom (which they already did) and trade an assload of assets to dump JVR only for Johnny to sign somewhere else.

actually what I've been hoping

I hope he goes to Jersey

Yes, please!

Damn, I forgot about Farabee, there's been so much s*** since his injury announcement I can't even keep track.

You said a better GM would have paid less. That makes it an overpay.

 

[ellja3]

Chuck is too dumb to grasp/implement the concept of cap space weaponisation

 

[Diaper Mask Bandits]

IS there a team that is tanking this season or making obvious moves to prepare for this upcoming draft?

If so, and if that team gets Bedard then that's my new team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Bill slamming the "plan" on Twitter means the offseason is indefensible, and FA hasn't even opened.

Chicago

Me too but he’s going to you guys.

 

[Cody Webster]

no the pseudo rage for directed at multiple other post. Was a general statement.

5 million for what he has done and being 27 is not outrageous in any way. If his name wasn't Tony D most wouldn't say a word. As long as his offense overcomes his defense then no issue.

Man, if only...what a statement

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Imagine getting TDA, buying out Oskar,giving up a big asset to get rid of JVR and then not ending up with JG.

I’m praying that final thing actually happens.

 

[deadhead]

They could still almost surely make a hockey trade with JVR still, especially for someone with term. They could have done the same with Ghost but it’s not what they wanted.

No, they couldn't. They put him on waivers, no takers. They offered him to Seattle, who wanted York to take his contract.
Ghost, like Voracek, had negative trade value. Because of cost and term.

JVR, with only 1 year, should be moveable with money retained, but no one wants to pay him $7M.

 

[Diaper Mask Bandits]

Chicago

cool, if Chicago gets Bedard thats my new team

I respect tanking

 

[Beef Invictus]

Man, if only...what a statement

Yeah, I'm ignoring all the off ice stuff and only focusing on the on-ice stuff and current team situation when lamenting this cost spent.

Sounds like the whole league knows they can wait to victimize Chuck for a profit.

 

[bennysflyers16]

With the cap space can they announce the Gromp and Macewan extensions ?

Lets f***ing Roll !!

 

[wankstifier]

What is this key asset?

 

[deadhead]

They always find the path to extracting the least juice. If your answer to this is that no one could have seen this coming, then you're directly saying they have no idea what they're doing from one year to the next. These cap situations are known. They can talk to teams and judge the interest on their players.

Yes, that's been the pattern since Holmgren became GM. Which is why I think he, not Clarke, is the loudest voice in Scott's ear.
This lurching from year to year, trying to stay competitive, is vintage Holmgren.
Except he can't buy out his mistakes anymore or use Snider's cash to force poor teams to give him prime players for cheap.

Firing Fletcher won't change anything - you need to exile Holmgren and Clarke and get a modern hockey guy in charge, who'll implement a long-term coherent strategy.
