2023-24 Roster Thread 3: We Three Flyers

[Tripod]

Common sense. If Frost was asking for a 4x4.5, he'd be signed. And I doubt they offered him less on a bridge than Tiippett and Cates.

Torts criticizes all his players at one point or another, who wasn't benched or demoted at some point last season.
But PT tells you who he really dislikes, look at Bellows, buried.
Others get extended auditions, like Lemieux, only to be allowed to walk.

Frost played as much as the "golden boy", Torts wouldn't give him that opportunity if he didn't see something worthwhile.
Allison got top 9 minutes.
Foerster in his cameo got top 6 minutes, whereas Lycksell barely saw the ice.

Once again, you are ASSUMING what they offered was good, and what Frist wants is unreasonable.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Can I ask like what’s your connection

I don't remember the specifics but he's said before he's in the scouting community.

Well, since you engage in constant knee jerk criticism, you don't have a leg to stand on.
I gave my reasoning, you can disagree with it, but that's your problem

What kind of leg do you have after years of vigorously defending everything the team does and being proven wrong every time, especially when they do the opposite of what you think they should do?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ah so this IS the "he's asking for the Seth Jones contract" defense.

 

[Striiker]

Getting pretty sick of you guys acting like the Flyers management and coaching is capable of making mistakes.

If Frost isn't signed it's for a reason. And that reason is obviously his ungrateful attitude and greed.

 

[Magua]

I knew Frost wasn’t a serious player when he chose to go home to Toronto in the offseason to train and spend time with family and friends. If he wanted to show a hunger for winning, he’d have spent the summer training on Tortorella’s Jersey farm, after signing a league minimum deal.

What do you see as a decent contract for Frost?

 

[Curufinwe]

Common sense. If Frost was asking for a 4x4.5, he'd be signed.

This is a lie. Meltzer said the team doesn't want to do more than a bridge, and they have the leverage because Frost doesn't have arb rights.

 

[Magua]

What rebuilding team only wants to bridge young players? Especially one that says it will be contending in 3 years.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

It‘s probably not as much about contract as it is the guy probably isn’t crazy about playing for Tortorella.

Trade him to the Leafs for a signed Nylander and say that the rebuild is complete /s

 

[BernieParent]

God Emperor = when the Dune series fell of a cliff.

I know some people who liked that book. It’s just nowhere close to the quality of the 1st 3 books in the series.

And here I thought we were referencing Hitchhiker. I am dumb.

The quicker the mutiny happens, the better.

Holy crap man , I have said several times on here that I ran into a few of the players on a golf course earlier in the summer and had a chin wag with them .

 

[ajgoal]

And here I thought we were referencing Hitchhiker. I am dumb.

I thought they were referencing Warhammer 40k...

 

[ponder719]

I thought they were referencing Warhammer 40k...

So, more dakka, but if dakka meant "shitty players" in Flyerish?

 

[FlyerNutter]

Holy crap indeed

You feel comfortable giving more detail? Stories?

Culture for the Culture God.

 

[captainpaxil]

Dakka equals shoot first players

 

[blackjackmulligan]

If the Flyers were offered a mid to late 1st for Frost would you make that deal?

 

[Beef Invictus]

If the Flyers were offered a mid to late 1st for Frost would you make that deal?

Sure. He's going to be in his mid 30s by the time this team maybe gets itself together.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Would you actually do that or being sarcastic.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

If the Flyers were offered a mid to late 1st for Frost would you make that deal?

Yes

 

[Beef Invictus]

Would you actually do that or being sarcastic.

Yes. A lot of people need to retire or die before this team figures themselves and this sport out. I don't think Frost fits the timeline. The player we pick with the return might.
