Da f*** are the flyers doing?

no mention of the utah name drama? personally as stupid as the name sounds i much rather they stay with utah hockey club given the two other choices out there. i will say i really doubt they will miss the opportunity for new and more jersey merch sales so i expect a name change.

I liked Utah Elk. Rocky Mountain Elk is Utahs state mammal. Utah Elk sounds good when you say it out loud. Can make a nice logo out of it and mascot etc. It's much better than any of the final 3 they have to me.

That's a major change for the Flyers. I guess we have to see the full trade to judge, but this doesn't obviously fit in either "deadline rental" or "hockey trade".
 
Utah Coyotes would have been great to be honest, if it was able to be transferred to the Utah owners. If it wasn’t Yetis or Blizzards. Lots of coyotes in that state

But that names rights belongs to Arizona I believe.
 
That trade doesn't suck for Philly, they got rid of Farabee at a 5M cap hit when Torts doesn't like the player, Frost is whatever and they got a cap dump in Kuzmenko who's UFA at years end and Pelletier can be the swap for Frost. They're probably going to make a hard run for Petterson or whatever center comes to market in the summer if I had to guess with Couturier being practically done with another set of injuries.

idk it just seems like a weird trade. relatively young middle sixers for uh, not much

i wouldn't have made that deal, even if i wanted to get farabee and frost out of town

It all depends on what Briere does. He's in the same boat as Drury for me that I don't trust him with the money but let's wait and see before we totally shit on him for the move. Farabee was always hated by Torts, guy got benched a ton under him so it was Briere choosing the coach over player clearly
 
Looking at the Flames, I can’t believe how big of a step back Sharangovich has taken after that breakout year. Always been a really streaky player but on pace for 17g and 34pts in 82 making $5.75M
his breakout year wasn't really a breakout year tbh. got hot shooting, scored an extra half dozen goals because of it and got used higher up the lineup because of it, padding those assist totals. he was the same guy last year as he was in 2021-22, more or less. That makes this year (which is worse FOR SURE) a little less surprising, because he's a streaky player and always has been. Just on a very long cold streak.

I like him, but I'm real glad we're not paying him.

Missed opportunity for NHL scheduling matinee weekend games while NFL goers silent waiting for Super Bowl weekend. No metro teams playing Friday or Saturday night.
