Flyers' 2017-18 roster discussion, part 6

[Rebels57]

I like Weal a lot but 2 million seems high to me.

It is..but id rather overpay 1 year while we have cap space then give him a multi year deal that he fails to live up to

 

[The Madrigal]

Talk about a horribly horribly written article.

"Travis Sanheim, their 2014 first-round pick, chosen before St. Louis center Robert Fabbri (37 and 29 points, respectively, in two seasons) and Bruins winger David Pastrnak (34 goals, 36 assists this season), has been slow to develop."

 

[Lord Defect]

Sam Motrin Morin? Seriously.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I'm not giving that any clicks but I saw screen caps on twitter earlier. It's awful & out of touch. He referred to Morin as Samuel "Motrin" Morin. He gave him a made up nickname.

 

[Magua]

"Incomplete" is the best grade Donnellon ever got in school

 

[JojoTheWhale]

If people stop reading Donnellon, Marcus Hayes, etc they won't be writing anymore and we'll all be better off for it.

*Edit* Marcus Smith does not have yet another new position.

So that's why he hasn't been at OTA's.

Hayes is just a bitter, negative person who loves to be negative. Donnellon is just a guy who acts like he knows a lot of sports but knows next to nothing. How could anyone say that Sanheim's development has been slow? Donnellon's logic: Two forwards drafted after him have made the NHL and one of them has been really good so that must mean Sanheim sucks

Of all the people to jump to mind....

You can add Mike Sielski to that mix too. All three of them suck so bad.

Sielski is a POS. Have you ever tried to have a discussion with him on twitter? His usual response ends up being along the lines of "I know you are but what am I."

Nah. He's actually one of the few I have blocked on twitter (maybe the only one). Carchidi would always & probably still does retweet him all the time so blocking his account eliminated that from time line.

He's a Skip Bayless wannabe though. I go no time for media members like that.

Yep, Hayes is a flea market Stephen A Smith.

Donnellon is completely incompetent. There's no defending that.

Rich Hofmann Sr used to be my favorite winter sports writer in town. I can't believe he's running that sports page, but I'm sure it's just page views.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Did anyone see the Commencement speech Sielski gave at LaSalle? What a phony.

 

[Rebels57]

Les Bowen used to do a good job covering the Flyers back in the day.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

John Smallwood is another incompetent one.

I agree, Hoffman was pretty good. Always level headed and was versatile enough to know what he was talking about four for four.

 

[The Madrigal]

I agree, which is odd since he does a terrible job covering the Eagles. For some reason he has an axe to grind with the Eagles organization and it shows with how he covers them.

I had to see this. I made it through 3 out of 11 minutes.

He talked about his kids, traveling too much, press room food being terrible, and the local teams losing. For his first bit of advice, he sarcastically said, "I'm not talking about selling out to the man," and I had to turn it off. Those poor people.

His son is really good, too. If I had to pick one local guy to eventually go national, it would be him.

I think most of the media in Philly is pretty bad. That being said, I very rarely consider someone to be a POS but Sielski is just that.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Sounds like Hexy knows who Vegas is going to claim from us.

My gut is still that its Neuvirth.

I hope it is. Then we can trade away dead weight at forward and defense and come out with some possible assets.

Isn't Motrin used for menstrual cramps? Or am I thinking of something else?

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Motrin is over the counter Ibuprofen, just a general anti-inflammatory/pain reliever.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

You're thinking of Midol.
