2023-24 Roster Thread 4: September is National Bourbon Heritage Month

[CutOnDime97]

Just checked again right now. Not private and still has Flyers pics up. No mention of Flyers in his bio though.

Did you already follow him? Still private

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Who cares about his Instagram. Forreal.

Carter Hart isn't a crappy Tik Tok influencer or Cardi B. Going private is one of the last ways I'd judge how this scandal will turn out.

No, it's private unless you were already following:

The Flyers upper echelon is basically the hockey mafia, you’re in til you’re dead

I always thought the leader of the hockey mafia was Lou Lams

That’s what Clarke wants you to think.

I'm smart enough to know I'm dumb.

He changed his profile pic a few weeks ago from a Flyers pic to whatever that is which caught my attention. Now this. Something in the air.

 

[Young Sandwich]

He changed his profile week a few weeks ago from a Flyers pic to whatever that is which caught my attention. Now this. Something in the air.

That's Darth Vader. A bit foreboding there Carter, no?

Maybe he's going into acting?

A timeline of events:

June 13th, 2023


June 22nd, 2023


September 7th, 2023


People change their minds. We should allow for this. But read the specific phrasing and draw your own conclusions.

The difference is that cap room has been valued higher this summer (the lack of markets for veteran offensive players even with retention).

Top draft picks seem to have risen in value (this may reflect more efficient drafting, has anyone done a study over time? With the increase in video availability, you'd expect teams to make fewer mistakes), especially 1sty rd picks.

A late first and late 3rd was my ceiling for Laughton, a 2nd just sounds like an overpay without a significant salary dump.
St Louis is still on the edge ($300K), even after dumping ROR, Tarasenko and Barebashev (and adding Vrana) at the TDL.

Not sure what their strategy is, they added a bunch of picks in the 2023 draft, but are stuck with a veteran core:
B Schenn (32) 5x$6.5
Saad (30) 3x$4.5
Hayes (31) 3x$3.6M
Faulk (31) 4x$6.5
Krug (32) 4x$6.5
Parakyko (30) 7x$6.5
Leddy (32) 3x$4.0

Talking to yourself is fine as long as you don't engage in conspiracy theories - unfortunately, people seem to have fallen prey to that temptation on a regular basis these days, both on and off the board.

I’m feeling feisty lol - and it’s not even that I dislike him

I don't believe that an intelligent person thinks a 1st and a future 2nd is materially different than a 1st and a 3rd. Future picks are always worth slightly less.

If you want to change your valuation based on market fluctuations, by all means. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant.

1 = 1
2 < 3

The second one is betterererer

"as of now"?

sounds like a Dimarco quote.

The NHL is letting both players and teams dangle. Just rip the f----g bandaid off@!

Chuck Fletcher GM’ing for his job said “nah I’m good, I don’t need that”.

 

[Magua]

Chuck Fletcher GM’ing for his job said “nah I’m good, I don’t need that”.

The team needed new leadership. Advanced stats can’t tell you that. Unless the Flyers have an in-house Masshole/60 metric, and then I stand corrected.

 

[Sombastate]

Already bought tickets for Sens-VGK so I can see Giroux again.

 

[deadhead]

People are complaining about the G trade? We got a 1st, 3rd and a 23 year old forward who scored 27 goals.
It's called "rebuilding." It was the right move to make and a good return (and helped the Flyers finish low enough to garner Michkov).

That's separate from bad decision making regarding Sanheim, Risto and TDA.
The rebuild should have started with that trade.

 

[Audible Velvet]

Oh dear.

I too like to ignore any and all context in an obtuse manner.
