Love this. Couldn't stand to look at Howdy Doody on the ice for the Flyers ever again.

Good to see the Flyers put the team first. Potential free agents look at this move and they are saying to themselves definitely a place I want to play.
Because he'd rather take the cash and peace out ofc. Cant say I blame him but obviously not in line with the sales job either... Which is hilarious and so Flyers to have happen.wait i thought Cam was a Torts guy?

One right winger down. Now they only have TK, OT, TF, BB and MM left.

You know what, f*** you Atkinson you douchebag.
This team allowed your rotting corpse to play all year with great teammates to get you going, and you repay the organization by refusing a trade, a NTC we didn't give you.
He could have basically called it quits and sat on LTIR all year. No ones gonna sign him, so he's just lost out on 1/3rd of his salary.

I get it... I mean, he earned the NTC, Fletcher traded for him, and his whole family, his wifes family etc are all on the East Coast... and at this stage in career does not want to shift whole family 3000 miles away to finish bottom 5 in the NHL. Especially with three young children.
As much as if I was an NHL player I would quite like to play in California, well, totally understand the circumstances.
Fletcher is the one and only problem here tbh. Trading for a guy with an NTC who was 32, who was a worse player, with a longer deal (FIVE YEARS LEFT, taking him to age 37), and an archetype that does not age well...

“They’ll overpay you for years past your expiration date, give you a NMC so you can block any attempt to be moved, buy you out to find another sucker organization to sign your broken down ass, then bring you back for a cushy gig coaching PP coach Rocky Thompson on how to coach a PP. 10/10 organization. Would play for again.”

Disparaging a player for exercising their rights is so delusional.

Can’t go on LTIR. He isn’t injured. He just sucks.

Lets be honest too... most likely if Jake did not get multiple concussions after leaving Flyers?
He would probably still be a 50-60 point 2nd liner...
Danny doing a great job isn't he....not impressed at all... happens when you continue to get ex players to run a business.... no understanding of how to negotiate.... Just say no to Danny/Jones they end up buying you out so you get free money or trade you where you want to go..... what a great job boys!!! your awesome .... we the fans suffer because of your ineptitude.... thought all this pain was to clean up 2025....
Why not the Leafs do it all the time!!!!!!!! I guess our management team doesnt understand how to manipulate the rules....once again great job

Yeah. If you don’t want to deal with it, don’t give out the clauses or trade for players that have them.
Just another reminder to not sign players in their late 20s to these long deals with these clauses, especially when they don’t fit the timeline of the rest of the team.

Tbh if you sign any player past the age of 34 who is not a ~75+ point forward or a top pairing defenseman?
It is always going to end badly and you should move on from them instead.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
So stupid, just let him be the 13th forward and ride it out. This all but guarantees they are going to do something stupid and shortsighted in FA.
Same old era of orange tinged vomit.

One thing to point out is that Briere inherited a lot of this trash. Now, has he reduced the waste in ways I would have hoped, no but that doesn’t mean he tried. Limited clauses and atkinsons declines are two big factors that reduced his value.

Atkinson is a prime example as why a solid GM does not allow coaches to make personnel decisions. Two mistakes here'd. One, allowing AV to run Jake out of town. Two, allowing Torts to influence keeping Cam here. Should have dumped him on LTIR two seasons ago and not allowed him off of it. No one can tell me that he was healthy last season. He got ice time because he was one of Torts' boys.

Letting AV runn Ghost and Jake out of town... after running down their value so the Flyers lost a LOT of value moving them... and then being fired 6 months later.
LMFAO. Peak Fletcher.
Glad to be rid of Cambo, but it's frankly embarrassing that this team has to continually buy out their mistakes year after year.
Figure it out FFS.
