2022/23 Roster Thread XVII: The Days are Getting Longer

[Fight4yourRight]

If Paige was their studio host, Chuck would find a way to trade her away for Scott Hartnell, Al Morganti and a 2025 3rd rounder.

What if we rebuild the retool the rebuild of the agressive retool we were doing post hextall?

we should skip rebuilding altogether and just build again

we should sell the team and buy the next expansion team..

it would be faster then the speed this Org. is turning things around...

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hope that it.....isn't.......actually.....needed?

Just enjoy the wins they said. It’ll be fun they said.

 

[landsbergfan]

shut up automerge

Insanely on brand. Any smart team would look at the small bits of positive play as a way to get out of whatever problems they could and create value for a rebuild. This franchise is so hopeless. Bedard isn't going to save anyone either.

That’s going to be a disaster, but it makes sense for this Fletcher-built team to have their own jerseys. They’re not the Flyers, after all.

I feel like the Flyers daily meetings could be like this scene.

“We gotta replace Matt Niskanen”

 

[renberg]

The players that they have at center ice are not competitive against good teams and their defense is chaos on ice. Only a delusional fool would say that a rebuild is not in order. Call it a restructure or whatever, the only time that this bunch is competitive is when they play the dregs of the league and that includes the Caps. Their defense is crap as is their goaltending. Beating them is no great shakes. The Penguins are not any better. Being able to beat them is a low bar as well.

 

[Rebels57]

They'll suck i'm sure, just like both reverse retros and the 50th anniversary.

 

[Adam Warlock]

The fact that Chuck hasnt been fired and that they cant decide if he should or not is a bigger problem than evem Chuck himself.

Every day when I pick up the news I expect to hear that there has been a restructure (can’t use the term rebuild; the Flyers won’t have that) of the front office. Today’s article in the Inky by Gina Hahn on the way that Briere and the analytics department convinced TK to change his game at the end of last season and work on it more over the summer gives a glimmer of hope for the FO. They’re not all a bunch of Luddites.
It’s over a year’s past time for Fletcher and his supporters to be gone. Rip DB all that you want but he has embraced parts of the modern game and brought it to the team with positive results.

Yes. It’s not that hard really. They f*** everything up.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Every team should just go back to what they were wearing in 1996-ish, except for Calgary, who should stay put, LA, who should go back to the original purple and golds, and New Jersey, who should go back to the Christmas colors.

EDIT EDM can keep their current set too.

I'm hoping they will do something like that. I think there's a chance, too. But will they?

Nah, it'll be something dumber.

Comcast was probably confused about the low jersey sales, figured it was just because people were hungry for new great designs.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

They could use a jersey that's as beautiful as the on-ice product.

Is Nic Deslauriers wearing that jersey for this putrid team how you want to ruin your childhood?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Predicting that they'd point to this two week stretch as reason to fire nobody and stay the course was so easily predictable.

Make Nike the official jersey for the league too. Bring back Nike sticks, skates, helmets, etc.

 

[Cody Webster]

Gotta make up for that low attendance somehow, what's better than money from new jersey's

Fleury was another Nike guy.

I had those gloves. Most comfortable ever. Sherwoods 2nd favorite.

Brind'Amour rocked the skates too think

 

[Curufinwe]

At 5on5 Risto concedes 0.8 of a goal more per hour than Braun does. At ES the gap is a staggering 0.98.

Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

Worst contract in the league.
