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

[GKJ]

It looks like there's going to be some musical chairs being played in the coaching ranks. Keefe is probably out in Toronto. If he's on the market does Dubas snatch him up and terminate Sullivan? Sullivan and Tortorella have history together. Is it possible that Torts brings in Sullivan in some capacity with the Flyers?

Only if someone wants Sullivan. Think that ship has sailed. Sullivan ain’t playing second banana to Torts, he going to want a lot of control. I think he’ll sit and wait for expansion.

Sullivan would never give up the remainder of his guaranteed contract (even if fired he gets his money) and the Flyers would never pay him more than his salary now. He's not taking a multi-million dollar cut in pay to not be a head coach.

In fairness, Marner is a superb defensive forward and is a regular penalty killer. That fills a part of what Tortorella likes.

marner makes zero sense for where the flyers are at.

marner makes zero sense for where the flyers are at.

Marner - Michov - Frost - Farabee - Brink - Foerster is a pretty f***ing good foundation to build on.

 

[Curufinwe]

Torts would hate Marner. The way Marner is good at defense is not something Torts recognizes. He would still throw out guys who can't possess the puck well and get scored on a lot like Laughton and Poehling.

Marner - Michov - Frost - Farabee - Brink - Foerster is a pretty f***ing good foundation to build on.

what are you giving up to acquire marner?

frost - farabee are solid players every team has, nothing special. Brink we just dont know yet. Though likely nothing special either.

so to me that isnt that great of a foundation. also no center.

We dont need Marner. We need to build with younger players than Marner. He is also too expensive! And his contract is up next season!

It makes zero sense!

Sportsnet just ran an article where the pieces from the Flyers would be Laughton and Bonk. I know that's a pipe dream but that would be a no brainer.

Edit: Four Mitch Marner trades the Maple Leafs could consider

or be a yes man for Torts...

that is beyond laughable and even bad for a full-bore flyers homer.

It definitely feels like they accidentally left #12 out of the deal, but no, they specifically mention us still having the pick.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Did ASF really suggest trading Couturier for Huberdeau?

Edit: Oh, nevermind. It was one of the other Authentic Anthony's. Carry on.

do you think Couturier ask for a trade?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

do you think Couturier ask for a trade?

I don't have a clue. I have doubts that he did at this point but he very likely brought Brisson in case he does need to.

 

[Curufinwe]

Did anyone watch his interview with Myrtetus?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Nope, not until he comes on here and answers @Magua 's questions.

I know you don't have a clue. Was asking you if you think he does. or rides it out for now.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Trading Couts for a lesser player is beyond stupid.

Get rid of Torts for Christ Sakes.

 

[bauer]

Couts for Huberdeau? Bonk for one year of Marner? Are we going to run a team of nothing but wingers?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Marner - Michov - Frost - Farabee - Brink - Foerster is a pretty f***ing good foundation to build on.

I enjoy your positivity, I'll say that.

 

[trostol]

going after Marner would just prove even more so they were never rebuilding

DB enters chat...

 

[TCTC]

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.

Agreed, no on Marner. Last thing they need, esp at $12.5M+ for extension.

 

[nacc BLOCC]

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.
