I'm not one of the talent guys, so grain of salt, but I would sooner get the pick this coming year for Hagens, because I don't trust them not to flip the switch and try to contend anyway, and the sooner we get a new stud in the door, the better odds are that they won't have flipped the switch into full contend mode and bring the guy along wrong like it felt like they were gonna do with Luchanko.

Jonesy: we are gonna compete for a playoff spot

Briere: we are moving in the right direction

Torts: the players need to play the right way, my way

Reality: dead last in the NHL on Nov 6th

Looking forward to seeing lots of empty seats when they come back home. The entire hockey ops dept can f*** off. I’m praying for a bottom 3 finish both this year and next because that is the only way that enough heads might roll to actually make some real changes!

On Tankathon they have the Flyers picking

#1 Hagens (C)
#11 Charlie Trethewey (RD)
#14 Jakob Ihs-Wozniak (F)

What's the read on those other two picks?

The mock draft also has Caleb Desnoyers going at 10th. I'm guessing he's Elliot's brother? Born in the same QC town, and both playing for Moncton WIldcats. Anyway, Caleb seems to have way more high end potential than Elliot.

Might have gotten a season ticket holder boost when Michkov came over but they sure as shit sent going to get a single game boost.

The start to the season probably couldn’t have gone worse there.

Obviously not going to recoup the original value (thanks Chuck!), but how're we feeling about getting a 1st or 2nd or more for Risto? Seems like it’ll be a seller’s market for defensemen at the TDL. Big guy who has a decent defensive game and has shown some improvement and switched his game a bit since he first got here - I’m sure there’s a GM still salivating at the thought, especially if there’s retention. Chiarot got a 1st a few years back and I think he’s much worse.

Huge plus if we can finally see playoff Risto.

Of course "they want to compete for a PO spot."
You tell your players they suck and there's no point trying?

But I don't think Briere is that upset with the start, more with the players, and if some don't turn it around they may be ex-Flyers. But being out of the playoffs makes Briere's life easier at the TDL and next summer.

Laughton and Risto have upped their value.

They're playing bad, but I doubt they're this bad, they have too much talent to be a bottom feeder, though some of it is mismatched. It's pretty much the same team they finished with last season with some upgrades (Michkov/Atkinson, Risto/Attard) .

Last 20 games: xGF 53.29%, HDCF 55.25%
Players by 5x5 TOI:
TK, Foerster, Poehling, Tippett, Hathaway, Laughton, Frost, Farabee, Cates, Couts, Brink, Lycksell/Atkinson
Sanheim, York, Zamula, Drysdale/Seeler, E Johnson, Attard/Ginning

The first game I’ve watched in a long time was the home opener, my nephew treated me to the game.

My god that was the single worst game of any sport that I have watched either in person or at home.
Have they been this bad for the past few years? Is there any shining light at the end of the tunnel?

no... not until they sell/fold the franchise.

or you wait till the old bois club die off.

otherwise its rinse/repeat like the last 50 cuoless years

But this is all part of the culture!

I'll be honest, I still think Torts and Briere are lock step and if anything, they will make excuses for the team sucking (yet they are right up against the cap).
100% correct.... they will say players still arent buying in and ship some more out which will of course make no difference at all

Prototypical Flyer Scott Laughton will not be traded. If neither this GM or the kast one didn't trade him when he's supposedly had value he's going no where.

Yes, Caleb and Elliott Desnoyers are brothers.
