[Flyerfan4life]

Falling back on "try harder boys" is exactly what coachs that shouldnt be coaching do.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

If it his words means Hayes gets fired into the sun this off-season, so be it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Frost leads the team in ES scoring now with 38. One ahead of Hayes.

What are possible landing spots for Provy? LA seems content with Gavrikov.

What are possible landing spots for Provy? LA seems content with Gavrikov.

Honestly seems like there aren't too many. Winnipeg? Detroit? No damn idea. The time to move him was this year, with some retainment, before his incident/before LA and Edmonton got their guys.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Could maybe see him want to go to Seattle to be under Hak again. He did well under him.

Their top 4 D next year could be this:

Provy-Larsson
Dunn-Oleksiak

Something like that. Plus Seattle has a lot of cap space next season (20M) where the only significant re-signing would be Dunn.

 

[Striiker]

He didn’t even do well under Hak.

His only “good” year was while being carried by the simultaneous career-best years of Giroux, Couturier, TK, and Ghost.

The second that group was broken up he went to shit and never recovered, while all four of the others guys have still played great. He’s just not smart or skilled enough to perform on his own.

But think about the effort involved.

 

[Curufinwe]

The incident doesn't matter now that it's happened on a bunch of other teams.

It's usually better to trade a big contract in the summer when most every team is looking to upgrade, and there is more cap space available.

 

[RefsIdeas]

Buffalo fan here - just wondering Flyers current thoughts on Sanheim. Is he player to be potentially traded in the off-season? I know he was a healthy scratch earlier in the year, wasn't sure if that's him not meshing with Torts or what.

His contract would make him hard to move and I doubt they want to sell low.
So anyone on this team is available at the right price, but they're not going to push him out the door.

Seems like the tag was ignored, eh. How convenient.

Let's just say he is no Ristolainen

Potentially yes, but with that Chuck special contract extension...

Serious Speculation Evolves as to Why John Tortorella Hasn't Coached For 2 Games This Season

Torts to become Flyers executive?

just fold the f***ing franchise....

 

[BernieParent]

It reminds me of when they instantly inserted Nate Thompson into the lineup late last year after he returned from injury. I remember there was chatter about doing right by him, allowing him to showcase himself. Never played another NHL game.

Rewarding the loyal soldiers is part of the Flyers' Deep Magic that needs to be purged with fire.

In the sense that anyone over the age of 25 should be a candidate for a potential trade this off-season, yeah, sure. Team is butts, no point in trying to keep anyone in particular around if the offer is good.

Speculation is the operative word.

Cameos: Foerster, Desnoyers, Zamula, Attard.
Veterans with reduced minutes: Hayes, JVR, Laughton, Braun

Allison has increased minutes, Laczynski and Bellows are afterthoughts.

Farabee - Couts - TK
Tippett - Frost - Atkinson
??? - Cates - Allison
Deslauriers - Desnoyers - ???

York - Attard
Sanheim - Risto
Zamula/Seeler - TDA

This is a 3-5 year process, Briere is not going to move everyone out this summer, b/c he's not going to buyout players (push cap hits out 4 to 6 years) or give assets to dump contracts. So some players will be here another year to make it easier to move them in the future.

 

[VladDrag]

Is Laczynski injured again?

Cameos? You assured us they would have far more than cameos. You assured us, based on a complete fabrication of who Tortorella is, that this would be a youth movement. Not "cameos" where as few prospects play as little as possible in favor of trash vets.

Would you like to identify where this went so wrong?

Also, and please read this with as much resigned fury and hatred towards the team as possible: I told you.

I must reiterate that I fully agree with your ideas of playing youth. And focusing on skill. And letting them score. The problem is that the whole history of everyone involved dictates that is not going to happen, so it's bizarre for you to act like it's going to (all while defending the people not doing the good things while pretending they are doing the things they aren't) because all these people who don't want it will do the thing they don't want or have to do.

 

[Striiker]

Is Laczynski injured again?

Last time I saw his name was when a beat was saying he was going to be healthy scratched for Braun. Probably a week or so back.

 

[deadhead]

Is Laczynski injured again?

I don't think so, but he didn't look 100% the last few games he played.

He showed some burst a few games before he was injured, the best he looked in two years, but hasn't shown it since he returned. I think he's on thin ice, an oft injured 26 year old (next season) center with limited upside is not a priority for a rebuilding team. If they decide 21 year old Desnoyers is ready, Laczynski may be history. Especially if they pick up a couple young forward prospects in trades.
