Drysdale is the Harry Zolnierczyk of defense.

Great name drop, someone I haven't thought of in a long time.

This is why the Frost and Farabee trade is infuriating.

It was as uncreative and ineffective as it gets. Only trumped by the Ghost giveaway bonanza.

The only way that the Ftost and Farabee trade works for me is if Frost was going after an offer sheet that was unmanageable for the Flyers and Farabee’s neck injury is so bad that he’s going to need to walk away from the game. Neither of those possibilities is real so it was an idiotic move

Lets say you hit on those pieces on the draft...your still looking at 4-5 years

No playoffs for 5 years could easily turn into no playoffs for a decade.

No playoffs for 5 years could easily turn into no playoffs for a decade.

They haven't generated any playoff gate revenue since 2018 so it's not too far off.

This is a high enough percentage that it actively makes me think that it'll end up costing us in trade negotiations.

They just waved off losing a trade because they plan on replacing value in FA using the meagre cap space opened up. This poll flays bare the sheer folly of that plan. Who is running to sign here and play for this slob?

How badly can that possibly hurt us, given that people almost certainly don't want to come here anyway, because of all the other things that are going on here?
