I'm in a weird place on the contract where I didn't agree with it, I've never liked it, and I also kind of don't care. Dude got dealt a rough hand. Good for him getting millions when it doesn't really make a difference to the fate of the team, what with all the other malfeasances they have wrought.

If this was truly a rebuild I would be all over it. Let him get rich and help the draft pick, but that isnt what they are doing

team chemistry just doesn't happen in 4 games

I'll judge and criticize after 25 games

it's still early

this is more or less the same team as last year..how do they need to get chemistry together?

Flyers chemistry consists of fuel and fertilizer.....

No team in the NHL had less turnover, its the same team less 2 kids.

MM looks great and Jett will be gone soon.

It’s crazy how small Fedotov plays in net. He really reminds me of a less controlled Boucher. He just doesn’t seem to take up much space which is outrageous for being 6’8”.

He reminds me of the walrus goalie in the Geico(?) commercial. Unfortunately he gets sleepy falling off of his game. He needs AHL or ECHL time to become to the NA game of hockey. It's obvious that he doesn't get what's going on out on the ice over here.

 

[freakydallas13]

Fedotov was "money for nothing," that is, it's a two year deal, he showed he can play at a high level in the KHL. So at worst you're out the money, at best you have a solid trade chip. This is what rebuilding teams do, no?

I wouldn't read too much into this road trip, it's a brutal trip, not just the West Coast but why aren't Vancouver and Seattle back to back? No, they have to go Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton then back to the coast. Crazy. That kind of travel kills practice even with a day off between games.

Now they're home, they'll have a chance to work out kinks.
So we'll have a much better read on this team in a couple weeks.

Didn't you say if they won in Seattle it would have been a successful roadtrip? Just seems odd you are willing to read into the road trip if it could be spun in a positive way, but now that we know it was a bit of a disaster we shouldn't read too much into it?

At the very least, being the worse team (5v5) in all games so far should be a cause for concern. Panic? Not yet. But concern for sure.

 

[deadhead]

Concern? Meh. A little bothersome, not much else.
They're faster than they've been since ???
But right now they look disjointed 5x5.

Now I'll get concerned after the coming homestand b/c they should have time to practice and get on the same page. So if 6 or 7 games from now, if they're still being out played, that's a problem.

There's a few players off to slow starts, Farabee, Sanheim, and they miss Seeler (stabilizes the defense).

But mostly they just seem like they're not in sync right now.

The legend of Seeler continues. Has to be by far the most important defender the Flyer shave had in the last 25 years.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Seeler is the new Niskanen

i thought it was Walker

He's just a stabilizing influence for Drysdale.

They're going to give Drysdale a full shot to develop (not b/c of the trade) since he's the most physically talented D-man on the roster. And Seeler will hold his hand while they do so.

Fedotov next game

It is true he is by a mile our 3rd best D man and he is missed.

It is terrifying that he is by a mile our 3rd best D man and he is missed.

How long is appropriate until Briere is faced with accountability for intentionally targetting Drysdale in a trade.

 

[BernieParent]

Not just that, but thinking the Flyers actually thought that far ahead. They don’t trade players when they have any semblance of value or get full value in trades. If they did, guys like Hathaway, Seeler, and Laughton wouldn’t be here today. Two of them were already resigned, and if Laughton continues to have a good season, you can be sure he’s next. They’ll hold onto them until they are empty husks just taking up cap space.

The Flyers operate in the ADHL.

 

[orangecrush8]

We really took for granted what we had in 2010. Timonen, Pronger, Coburn, Carle. Incredible top 4.

There’s no single incident that led to this. Poor drafting, talent development, luck. It just sucks when not that long ago, this team was designed to built from the net out.

 

[BernieParent]

Anyone who managed to make it through this game is sick in the head.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I felt like this today at work

but the rebuild is just starting...

 

[yzerman]

Why the hell did the flyers pay Fedotov that money?he looks like a bad copy of Mikko Koskinen and is technical not an NHL goalie.I could see it at the end of last season he looked out of place really mindboggling.

They are bad at managing

Yes and now Ersson is alone again definitily not the recipe for a playoff spot.Wish they could have get a guy like Casey Desmith and a lot cheaper than Koskinen 2.0

 

[ajgoal]

Still wondering how and why he got two years of term and 3M per as a total unknown in terms of NA hockey. Just an unnecessary gamble.

I'm in a weird place on the contract where I didn't agree with it, I've never liked it, and I also kind of don't care. Dude got dealt a rough hand. Good for him getting millions when it doesn't really make a difference to the fate of the team, what with all the other malfeasances they have wrought.

Pure speculation on my part, but I'm guessing CSKA Moscow is seeing much more of that money than he is.
