Insider Identifies Flyers Top Trade Deadline Objective: Loyalty
One insider identified the biggest trade deadline objective for the Philadelphia Flyers and, interestingly, said it was about loyalty.nhltradetalk.com
Not sure if this should be posted in this thread or if it's already been posted to another. The gist of the article is trade deadline decisions should be based on 'loyalty" and not necessarily getting a "huge return".

Holy shit! Don’t they mean unconditional loyalty to the point of absurdity and detriment of the individual? The lack of awareness is astonishing.#beaf***ingFlyer...

Loyalty and "buy-in" are very different things.
What good team adds players who won't play their style of hockey?
They aren't even hiding the fact you need to bow down to the old boys club anymore.

Not really. It talks about who wants to be here and who wants to buy in to the Flyers way. What good team bases their player moves on that. Rather than the quality of play, position need and fit and of course. Talent. Flyers have to Flyer. If the Flyers players were smart, they wouldn't want to play the Flyers current style of hockey.

You mean respected reporter and former Flyers insider Frank Seravalli? What exactly is our take away supposed to be that he's the one reporting this?

I am begging people to stop reading aggregation sites. This is what Seravalli wrote:
It's awful, but it's not as bad as the aggregator made it sound. It's generic hockey-plated claptrap. They're as gotten to as it gets. We already knew that. Well, ok. Most of us did.

I introduced my son to all my music. First song he learned on his guitar was Should I Stay. Came home last year to the blasting riffs of Holidays in the Sun! I bought him London Calling for his 12th birthday and loved explaining the lyrics to him, esp. "He who f*cks nuns will later join the Church." LOL!

It's BS. No quote from anyone, even an anonymous source.
Gauthier was an unusual situation, and the frustration was as much not being able to negotiate a solution as pique b/c he didn't want to be a "Flyer."
To project from that is a stretch.
Any good FO looks for players who are good fits for organizational philosophy before committing to them for the long-term. You want your core players to be on the same page, b/c these are your big minute guys. You can work around "specialists," guys with useful skills who need to be sheltered. But you don't commit term and big money to these guys.
Toughness matters. Two things about Michkov:
1) he's competitive and nasty, numerous teams have run at him and he won't back down
2) his teammates have immediately responded when he's been run at, and he knows they have his back
Forget fighting and that crap, it's about "I won't back down", refuse to be intimidated and don't watch passively when a teammate is the target of a cheap shot.
I think that's the sort of thing Briere calls "being a Flyer", not size, but snarl - TK has always been that kind of player. Briere played at a time when a small guy would be constantly hooked, slashed, elbowed, etc., and you had to play through it. He probably sees toughness differently than say Jones.

No wonder building a roster has been so difficult. It’s become extremely rare to find players that “want to be here”. Can’t imagine why, but you know kids today.
