Confirmed with Link: Flyers Sign Martin Jones (1 Yr - $2M)

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Another swing and miss for Chuck.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Whelp. Hart better bounce back, because I don't have much faith in Martin Jones after three straight .896 seasons.

I'm going to assume this is a Dillabaugh recommendation from having him in Los Angeles. Hope he can fix him.

This is what I get for asking the monkey's paw for a big goaltender.

Can't be worse!

So we upgraded. What else do you want from Chuck?

 

[wankstifier]

What year is it?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

We thought goaltending would regress to the mean and couldn't possibly be as bad as last year.

Carter Hart better have had some incredible sports psychologist sessions this offseason because he's going to need to play 55+ games to get a team with Martin Jones on the roster into the playoffs.

people complaining about chuck and AV bringing in their boys, dean lombardi bringing in his boys too

 

[The Madrigal]

HORRENDOUS FN MOVE FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS.

 

[bennysflyers16]

HORRIFIC !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Someone please try to defend this.

Not sure you can. At the very best they are the same at the backup position

And I doubt he gets close to that number

This is somehow worse than Holtby

It's actually just a running joke because I was not making any argument, so it can not be counted as a straw man, but thanks.

I think there is truth in jest, with the joke originating from actual arguments across this board, but hide behind "It's just a joke."

 

[FlyerNutter]

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha

[PhillyWings]

When you're too sober for this stuff.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Lolz....obviously

You're reading way too much into me making fun of people who believe that if all 32 GMs did not do something, that it actually justifies anything.

No goalie is realistically playing 65+ games anymore. I picked the number carefully.

There is zero defense of this deal. At least if it was for 1 million you could say it was cheap and gave them some flexibility to do something else. Bad player, bad contract, and sets Hart up to have shoulder all of the load and pressure.

 

[Rebels57]

Really cant make this shit up.

 

[BillDineen]

So is this good for Hart's development? Jones plays like the last three years and the pressure is even greater. What a moronic franchise

 

[MillerTime2181]

Of. Course. They. Do.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I am so mad,,,,

 

[Garbage Goal]

Lol this team. I won’t be watching anymore, but good luck if Hart doesn’t rebound.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

If you were Brossoit and could sign with Vegas or Philly, where are you going?

He was never coming here once the Knights showed interest.
