OT: 2025 Flyers STH Town Hall - February 21st

[Hollywood Cannon]

Here we go again. I am hoping to attend and will be recording the conversations as best as I can like I have in years past.

I have, I believe, three extra spots if anyone here wants to go.

If anyone has any questions they may like asked feel free to post them in here. Maybe i'll ask one. Maybe someone else on here going will ask one.

I'd say ask them why they didn't claim Pelletier when he was on waivers if they were eyeing him, but I'm pretty sure they'll give you some bs propaganda non-answer so don't bother.

"The organization had been trying to collect as many early round picks in the 2025 draft because they viewed it as such a great draft class. Now, that seems to be no longer the case. How did you guys completely whiff on this?"

 

[Danko]

Why is this taking so long

If signing Ekblad and Bennett two proven winners to help build a winning culture is of utmost importance to help usher Alex Bump into the league.

 

[Lord Defect]

why is culture more important than talent? Which of the past 10 Stanley cup winning teams prioritized culture over talent?

 

[Magua]

Do you believe having a perennial bottom 3-5 PP across the board statistically is essential to the hardworking culture you’re building?

Drysdale has 17 points in 69 games as a Flyer. Would you say his ceiling is more like Werenski or Morrissey?

I need a new healthcare provider. Do you have any recommendations?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Are you as annoyed by the tiny circular LCD screen on my coffee pot as I am?

I don’t care about your stupid branding. I want a screen that holds the information it’s trying to display without scrolling like this.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ask them why the hot dog shape changed. If they're confused or resist, INSIST it is different. Become argumentative. Thank you

prolly the best question that gets asked

 

[freakydallas13]

I eagerly await someone asking about the shootout and the smug layup it will provide Keithiel Brieones.

 

[Magua]

As long as @Hollywood Cannon gets into a fistfight with Coatesy, I don’t really care about the questions.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

The annual obligatory:

Seriously though, somebody has to ask why the f*** Rocky Thompson still has a job. (Worded differently of course)

Also, why did it take months for them to find a translator for Michkov

 

[Tarpongg]

There seems to be a lack of urgency in your organization when it comes to building your prospect pool. For instance, you made 7 picks in a 7 round draft in ‘24, in the middle of a supposed rebuild. The Hockey Writers recently ranked your farm system 21st in the league, down from 16th. Is accumulating prospects in a rebuild important to you, or is it more important to hold on to your 30yo players in the name of culture?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Coffee? Did someone say coffee?

Has anyone told you yet your culture sucks?

 

[Striiker]

If I were there what I would do is press them on what they consider success/failure for Torts and ask how long they’re willing to keep him around if no tangible process is being made.

 

[trostol]

What is your actual plan and when do you realistically expect to implement it?

 

[GKJ]

I'd say ask them why they didn't claim Pelletier when he was on waivers if they were eyeing him, but I'm pretty sure they'll give you some bs propaganda non-answer so don't bother.

They’ll just say they didn’t have roster room or something.

The better way to frame it is why to ask them how we got to a point where they’re trading two scoring forwards for guys who were waiver fodder when it was obvious by the end of last season that they weren’t part of the future. Torts gave up on Frost, if not before, in the final game of the season. Why did it take until January to move him when that was transparently identified in April?

 

[nacc BLOCC]

it would be so fun to hear the stammering asking them to work backwards from farabee being a cap dump to his extension in 2022. (the same year of the deslauriers signing, which briere championed)

questions generally around lack of consequences for non-players f***ing up. either you f***ed up with your negotiation or evaluation or development. and yet all the people involved in that (minus chook) are still punching in.

and the f***ing power play. how the hell can rocky thompson still have a job?

it would be interesting to frame some of these things in the context of the birds: i think the concepts of the eagles roster maneuvering and construction far exceed brieres and jonesys comprehension; so maybe stick to the importance of firing and hiring and retaining the right staff, from coaches to number crunchers.

Their one-word answer: "Security!"

Actually, HC, I would like for you to bring a very large container of liquid -- alcohol or not, your choice -- and a shot glass. Whenever the word "culture" is said, loudly proclaim "Drink!" and take a shot.
