Of course. I've been saying this since he got the Phantoms gig.

Gauthier expressed the desire to go pro after one season on draft day and in November.
Had the Flyers wanted him to turn pro, a full court press would probably have worked on him.
But it's in their interest to go with Couts, Frost, Cates, Poehling, Desnoyers this season, and see how they look.
Next season, Gauthier or Cates could move to LW, Avon could push Desnoyers at 4C, etc.
But giving Gauthier a full season at center with better talent can only make him more valuable to the Flyers down the road.

No, the Culture is totally different! The team's broadcaster is now their president! And the coach is still here! And the assistant GM! And the special assistant to the GM was promoted! And all the scouts are still here! And the senior advisers!
New culture!

I don’t blame him for declining. Even if he paid his own way if he didn’t check every box off with the NCAA it would become a issue. The media not knowing this is one of the least shocking things ever.

Honestly, unless I'm missing something, this actually makes me feel better about Cutter. With all the talk about not rushing prospects, it's kind of funny that the kid has to make the decision for the org.

Fear not, they brought in Sharp and LeClair, who combine for zero years of management, scouting, or coaching experience

I actually thought he would get the gig before they hired Torts

Truly the fresh, outside voices this team is lacking.

Bold of you to assume Torts goes to meetings.

It baffles me how this organization thought Chuck Fletcher was the right choice

I bet it baffles them that Fletcher wasn't the right choice.

History will vindicate Charles Entertainment Fletcher, of this I have no doubt. The jury is still out on Devin Setoguchi.

And to top that trade off they (Flahr too!) made arguably the worst pick in the first round that year. Phillips didn't even sniff the NHL. To put that into perspective, all but 3 guys in that second round played NHL games.

In the span of just a couple days, two 24yo C's have signed contracts worth 1.6 and 2.1 mill (McBain, McLeod). They both scored around 20 pts. Frederic is another former C in that same age group who just signed a similar contract, although he was primarily used as a wing this past year.
With this in mind, I'd say the Cates deal was a steal for the team and that Frost is easily worth somewhere around 3-4 mill currently. Yet even with all the projected cap they have with Ellis on foreverIR, they still haven't reached an agreement. Is Danny trying to low-ball him into a 2.5 mill contract or is Frost already asking for the moon, knowing he'll probably improve his numbers in the coming years? Any reason to believe he won't be with the team on opening night?

I have been saying this for months.
They need to move TK and Laughton and pray Atkinson can be dealt.
I know in theory TK/Tipp can move to Left Wing, but that really doesn't help much when you still have Laughton.
Considering the cap is supposed to go up quite a bit in the next couple seasons, I'd even say to eat the price of Atkinson for 2 years at 50%. He should be desirable like that, but we know Torts will f*** over this team in any way he can...

Pretty thin lineup without those 3, and you'd still have at least one right handed LW.

You can't trade Atkinson until next summer, and he'll be a tough move at the TDL with another season on his contract.
Much easier next summer if he has a good season.
