2022/23 Roster Thread III: Run It Back!

[Beef Invictus]

They also have too many vets on the nhl roster who Chuck would fear losing on waivers, so very unlikely they'll even give Torts the possibility of having guys like foerster or allison in the lineup on a regular basis.

Funny how they went out of their way the last few years making sure the youth would be given as little nhl time as possible and suddenly its now a "make or break" season for those same players.

Essentially a "break" season because they've had no time or chance to develop at the NHL level, and their time learning the highest game will be held against them.

It’s Bricker’s fault for not being from Minnesota

 

[Beef Invictus]

They gonna hire Hinckley to be the new guy? He's out and about now. Character!

 

[Pet Charles]

You gotta take that with a grain of salt. It was the team’s individual writers who ranked the grade. Charlie clearly wanted Gaudreau or a big move and is salty about it. Just saying. The non moves deserve a better grade.

I don’t think that’s fair. Charlie’s expectations were set by Dave Scott’s “blank check” and Chuck Fletcher’s “aggressive rebuild,” I believe he’s just asked questions on the minds of most fans and observers.

 

[Curufinwe]

They just be offering MacEwen a 2 way contract if he’s filed for arbitration. 9 points in 75 games is not going to get him a high AAV from an arbitrator.

Chuck has sent Wario 6 emails about the job, but hasn’t gotten an answer yet.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

To be perfectly blunt though, Harry Bricker may have actually kinda stunk at his job. I don’t blame him for getting complacent and lazy, if in fact that’s the case. It pervades the entire front office from top to bottom. No doubt Cuck has actually brought in a consulting crew, on the request of Scott, to do an internal cleansing of the lower tier jobs with some objective basis. Obviously falling well short of their own positions.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

DOMINOES!

 

[PALE PWNR]

What's up with Tippett too?

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Let's just see what Torts does, he's going to make the decisions on who plays and how much.

He's shown in both TB and CBJ that he can coach up a team full of young players, that he'll play young players ahead of veterans, and he'll bench veterans for not playing the "right way."

Thing is you have to accept that he'll get on Frost as much as he gets on Hayes, he doesn't believe in entitlement by veterans or prospects, he'll play the 6th rd pick ahead of the 1st rd pick.

He pissed Dubinsky off by playing 22 year old Weenberg and then 19 year old Dubois ahead of him.
He played 20 year old Bjorkstrand (#89) over 34 year old Bourque.

Which is why this is going to be a very interesting season, I think the Old Guard don't really understand what they have in Torts.

Good to see they did their due diligence.

Chuck hiring Mehmet Oz and Gwyneth Paltrow. More to come

And if he did they somehow wouldn't even be the most incompetent people in the org.

The fellas need those jade eggs for post game recovery.

 

[BernieParent]

Who goes first when the Flyers go on a 20 game losing streak?

Frost

Cev..he'll ask out lol

 

[Starat327]

Cev..he'll ask out lol

Not only is his contract unmovable, he is the face of the marketing campaign. There's no way he gets an out.

 

[Lindberg]

Remember when the Flyers stunk and fired Joe Mullen when the power play was actually performing decently and the rest of the coaching staff had no clue what they were doing? Good times.

What really depresses me the most is that even if everyone stays/gets healthy, even Ellis, at best this is a 90-94 point team that still misses the playoffs but only gets us a pick in the 14-16 range.

In 50 years of following this franchise, I have never been so pessimistic about the state and future of this team.

Well that's probably somewhat related to the past 10 years of being a meddling team. This team hasn't been competitive since 2012.

 

[smokey]

Gotta love it. F gave mcewen a good comparable for his arb neg with the des contract. No way a guy 5 years younger with pretty much the same stat line gets less money. Ofc the flyers could just walk away but thats probably not a very realistic scenario.

UFA deals can't be used as comparables in arbitration

SALARY ARBITRATION IN THE NHL. WITH 2020 UPDATES. - Beyond the Glass

This article describes the NHL salary arbitration process including updates in the CBA's 2020 Memorandum of Understanding.

beyondtheglasshockey.com

Under Article 12 of the CBA, certain types of evidence are admissible at the hearing and others are not. The evidence may include witnesses, affidavits, documents or any other relevant evidence the parties choose to present at the hearing. The admissible evidence the arbitrator may consider includes looking at “comparable players”, the player’s overall statistical performance, the number of games the player has played in (including injuries and illnesses), the player’s length of service in the NHL and with the team, the contribution of the player to the success or failure of the team in preceding seasons, and any qualities that are more intangible in nature such as leadership or public appeal. Under the MOU, players who played in the 2019-2020 “return to play” games may use their statistics from those games.

Inadmissible evidence includes many specifics surrounding who is a comparable player. The comparable player needs to be a Group 2 RFA coming off of the last year of their contract. The comparable player’s position, age, career games, and average ice time should also be as comparable as possible. In addition, other inadmissible evidence includes the team’s other qualifying offers, prior negotiations between the player and team, newspaper columns, testimonials, videotapes, press reports or similar materials, references to walk away rights or evidence of a team previously exercising its walk away rights, the financial condition of the team or league, the team’s upper or lower limits or player’s share (defined in the CBA), any salary arbitration award from the 2005-2006 season, or any reference to any salary arbitration award or salary compensation that occurred prior to July 22, 2005.

alright even if we didnt get johnny g, still got rid of the trash, got alex debrincat and dylan strome with some younger wingers, i would be fine with that. it's just running it back is a punch in the face to the fanbase.

 

[Curufinwe]

Here's a comparable - Jansen Harkins played 77 games for the Jets and scored 13 points. Two days ago he got a one-way, two-year extension with an AAV of $850,000.

Since they qualified MacEwen, they can't walk away unless his award is over $4,538,958
