Why do consistently sing the praises of GMs and coaches until they are fired?

Why do you then pretend that you never sung their praises?

Why do you routinely state that such and such prospect will be on the roster in 3-4 years and then pretend you didn’t when those players never make the team?

Why do you carefully and selectively pick and choose stats that support your incorrect assertions while ignoring the stats that do not, let alone the eye test?

Your shtick is old, stale and tiring.

Briere's reply specifically to how he was going to acquire top end talent for a rebuild was "Well, we drafted high the last 2 years [Gauthier and Michkov]"

So he clearly insinuated Gauthier was a top talent. Now I guess we have to rely Michkov, Drysdale, and a 2nd round pick to be the elite talent we have been hoping for.

Yeah they were calling it mission accomplished

I want to ask what Frank Nazar has done to you to never give him an ounce of credit for anything, but we’re back to McGroarty not being good. :laugh:

Nazar was my BPA on the clock for the Flyers (after a trade down ofc). ;)

I’d also pat myself on the back before I look foolish again, I had Mateychuk over Jiricek.

I had Huston higher than anyone but was still too low lol.

It wasn't exactly a great draft:
#6 Jiricek, #7 Korchinski #8 Kasper #9 Savoie #10 Mintyukov #11 Geekie, #12 Mateychuck #13 Nazar, #14 McGroaty
Of this group, right now the only one outplaying Cutter is Mintyukov.

Kasper is fantastic if you watch hockey.

Honestly, you really do support coaches and management right until the moment they're fired, and you also keep saying "there's kids who need a shot" who never get a shot as a way to prop up management.

You also ignore most everyone who says that this is a pathological trait of yours.

We couldn’t have beaten that kakko trade? Briere should have called the second his complaint hit the internet

I know we have had a great history with players drafted second overall, but at that price I think you have to take the swing

14-4-4. That is the perfect record for Tortsy, Jonesy, Danny and the rest of the own-fart smellers who run the show.

Why? I mean who is he going to beat out at RW?
If he was a center that's a different story, that's a gamble worth taking.
But a big slow RW, meh.

If he's fantastic, how come in 23g he has 0-4 4 (ES)?
That's playing 13:06 at ES.
That was after putting up 71g 11-17 28 (ES) in the AHL last season.
Which is a decent D+2 season as a 19 year old, but nothing that would get people excited.

If he were a Flyer prospect, people here would be crapping all over them for taking him at #8.

Sure, good chance he develops into a much better player, but that holds true for a lot of players taken in the #11-25 range - reason players go in the top ten is they're generally deemed to be closer to NHL ready. Later in the 1st rd you tend to chose between high ceiling/high risk or high floor/lower ceiling.

So you haven't watched him at all or consulted stats that you know how to use. That's clear. I know why youve gone with raw totals, though. It harms your narrative in service of failed management to do a deeper dive.

I don’t know what our line up is. I haven’t watched but 1 game this season and I couldn’t tell you who was in the ice.
With that said. Who cares who he bumps. We don’t have a Stanley cup caliber team. We have plugs who I couldn’t even name.
You move somebody, put kakko in a favorable position so he can play happy, possibly either bounce back to that 40 point season he had or better. Or not. Gauge his value between keep or trade.
At the value he went for with more of his contract bled away his value should only go up.
Hell, he’s had experience playing center. At the very least you could run that experiment.
