2022/23 Roster Thread XIII: Where the 13th Floor Has Been Located

"New voice with Phantoms coaches could help find his best game."

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm not really sold on Lombardi being an innovator so much as his biases overlapped well with certain decisions and trends.

I am absolutely convinced of this.

I’m not sure what to make of this. I get that ASF is plugged in but NHLRumors Daily said on the latest Cold Stove Podcast that if (& when) they promote Briere to GM, Briere would stay away from making moves like Risto & Deslauriers. Some conflicting info here for sure. One thing that NHLRumors Daily said that made no sense was that Comcast can’t afford to fire Fletcher. He also mentioned that the most likely scenario is that Fletcher just stays on as Team President when Briere gets promoted to GM. That, I 100% believe…morons.

Can’t afford?? They’re a mega billion dollar company. I’m pretty sure their not firing Cuck has nothing to do with money. They just don’t give a f***.

Foerster does have some skating issues, on the other hand, what got Bellows waived wasn't his skating or his overall play, but the fact that at 24 he seems to have lost the offensive skills that got him drafted in the 1st rd. If Bellows can't score, then he is just another bottom six plug, and the Flyers have better ones. He'll get a chance in LHV to find his mojo.

Bottom six plugs like 34 year old decrepit AA?

 

[freakydallas13]

It's so hard to find big skilled centers that this team is begging for them and just converted their prized UFA from center to wing.

 

[BiggE]

when is this nightmare going to end? 5 years? 10?

 

[Cody Webster]

What are we thinking here, Bellows and a 2nd to Arizona for a 7th and then they sign AA?

When chuck needs advice about building this team, I believe he just watches the movie Slap Shot. Looks exactly what he did.

Sounds like Chuck’s fate could be decided on this month’s slate of games according to ASF. Good luck against some of the best teams in the league.

Getting blown apart by multiple teams that have lapped them on rebuilding is a good measuring stick.

Like I said, Fletcher didn't do his homework on Torts, though he was getting someone who'd whip this team into shape, got someone with a firm grasp of reality.

Not that it matters, since Fletcher doesn't take orders from his coach.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Biggest question I have is "how dumb is Dave Scott?"

By multiple accounts, Fletcher didn’t want to hire Torts.

Exactly. Fletcher isn't in control. He's at the mercy of the advisors. I mean he was in control when he signed the even worse Vigneault to a $25 million contract, but you see, uh, well, he's a puppet, and his vision of the team, well, it, uh......does anyone smell something burning?

I will say this, if there is one thing Torts is doing that I'm okay with, it's lighting a fire under Chuck's ass and making sure everyone notices how bad the team is he put together.

Does Lloyd represent Chuck or the fans? You decide

That sounded personal. Did Chuck give ASF a snarky comment about one of his reports last year or did I imagine that?

I think ASF‘s sources are within the organization are aligned with the older guard/alumni. So you’re probably getting that slant. I’m sure that’s the one who was feeding him the Gaudreau stuff for example.
