2023-24 Roster Thread #9: Spring time is upon us

[FlyerNutter]

Need a coach who brings out Marner’s best, not tries to turn him into Marchand. Which is what this org would do.

Even if they waited until he was a FA, the return on the asset investment will likely not live up to the contract.

Seems likely that what’s being built here is something similar to that of the Wild. Kaprizov, and a bunch of generally meh around him.

Giroux was a dominant player in his younger years, is it realistic to even expect that from Matvei?

Will they be able to find the “new” versions of Couturier, Jake, and Ghost?

they can't find their way out of a wet paper bag

trade couts for marner. trade marner at the deadline. let couts be a ltir deadline and playoff show pony for tml. win win win win.

Now that’s certainly an idea doubt TML does it due to the term but that’d be dope

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Marner is 27. He's someone you only consider bringing in when you're on the verge of contending and missing that final piece, not when you're building towards it.

By the team we're contending, he'll be a 30+ year old 2nd line winger while being the highest paid player on the team.

I’m a Marner fan but full agree here. Same reason I don’t want them giving TK a bag if Michkov doesn’t come over this summer

Either way they'll spend the money I fully expect some dumb decisions.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Theres going to be interest in guys like Laughton, Hathaway, Risto, and Seeler this summer from teams like Toronto who think they need to build a more "playoff" type teams. This would be a great oppurtunity for Danny to start winning many of us over my showing hes willing to go against the flyers norm of valuing replacable guys like these over the important assets they can return.

Those assets, plus what TK could return, they could position themselves to go after a Marner, Zegras, or Brady Tkachuk if theyre indeed available.

 

[Curufinwe]

Risto literally has zero record of playoff participation, let alone success. And is coming off major surgery.

 

[Rodu58]

but Risto is built for playoff hockey, according to him

 

[Adam Warlock]

So thoughts on this Maxim Tsyplakov guy? I havent really read the flyers attached to him which seems odd bc hes the kinda swing they probably should he taking.

Plus hes Russian and red is the new orange.

Boy when he actually gets there, WATCH OUT

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

What is everyone's thoughts on bringing back Gurianov? Low-risk move. IIRC he's pretty fast and I think he's shown some flashes at time during his career. Maybe he finds his game here and sticks or plays well enough to be traded? Worst case scenario he is on a short, low AAV contract as an extra forward or gets sent to AHL.

didnt he already go back to russia to play?

Ha, well if he did nevermind! I was just looking at CapFriendly and seeing who was leaving and who was staying.

On Friday, Briere and Tortorella reaffirmed Flyers' commitment to rebuild - PHLY Sports

The Flyers were better than expected this season. But don't think that means the rebuild is over.

So will there be another round of eye-catching subtractions from the roster this summer, like last year when all of Ivan Provorov, Kevin Hayes, and Tony DeAngelo were jettisoned. Nah — both Briere and Tortorella now love the locker room culture, unlike in 2023. Marc Staal and Denis Gurianov likely won’t be back, Briere confirmed, but beyond that? Briere didn’t even fully close the door on a Cam Atkinson return.

shouldn't that be "rebuild hasn't even started"?

Rebuild? When?

Betting they still think they're clever for telling players on the team that they aren't rebuilding and telling everyone else that they are. Seriously, this club is f***ing full of dumb mother f***ers.

"The Rebuild That Never Was"

We should call it the Debuild.

 

[trostol]

if a rebuild occurs and the flyers are doing it does it really happen?

 

[ponder719]

If a rebuild occurs, the Flyers aren't doing it, so we'll never have to figure out if it happened or not.

Briere said he "likely won't be back"

Tbh, I'd bring him back on a 1 year deal, but I get it if he doesn't want to come back
