[Surrounded By Ahos]

Good luck with that, guys

 

[Mkoll]

i just cant...I dont post often, but this just kills it for me. I havent hated a team more until just now.

 

[Bigkarl]

Kudos to Chuck for insisting on that 7th being included. Dude might be the toughest negotiator in all of professional sports.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Our media is so awesome, they know the rules inside and out

I'm not wrong that that's not a thing anymore for rights acquired players, right?

The fact that no one has responded to the tweet with that is a good indication of Flyers twitter.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Fletcher is such a f***ing loser.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Fletcher is such a f***ing loser.

Correct

 

[Tripod]

Most teams with our draft situation are finishing up a period of contention that included multiple serious runs.

Then there's us, the cupboard empty and one of the worst in the league.

You mean it's not good to be capped out, have no picks, have no top prospects, and be 4th worst team in the league?

Freaking Hextall.

 

[Lord Defect]

Thank god! I’ve been saying we needed to get him for years now. We were only a Deangelo away from winning the cup last year.
Woo!
I hate this organization, I loathe everything about them right now.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Just compare what we have been done, and what the Canes did with ADA.

Canes signed a talented player with baggage for 1 year at 1 million. Got great production.

Then trades him for 3 picks instead of paying him.

What a great use of 1 million in cap space and 1 year commitment.

They called up one of the dumbest GM’s in the league & abused him.

don't feel like looking up the answer but when is the last time a Flyers 2nd 3rd or 4th turned into a player you even care is on the roster?

Hart, Lindblom, Ghost off the top of my head. Next question

 

[Pet Charles]

It certainly makes them better next year, and $5M for two years isn’t that bad. As much as I prefer they value picks more, trading outside the first round isn’t the worst idea. In a vacuum, it’s not bad.

But this is not a vacuum, nor is it like watching an artist sculpt something out of a mound of clay. It’s like watching a junkie do eye-popping things to get their next fix on one day without any consideration for the bill coming due next week.

Why not just keep Ghost, the 1st/2nd/2nd/3rd/4th picks and forego acquiring RR and two 7th round picks? It’s just all so incoherent.

It is not because they have no value. They have no value because the Flyers are making the pick. All Stanley Cup champions receive value from picks made in the 2nd-4th rounds

Ooof, youre gonna wanna walk this one back.

Or just walk out altogether. Probably best for all of us.

 

[Embiid]

When will the misery end..


Oh the misery...

 

[Pet Charles]

What are they going to pay him with, Russ? Chickens? All the available cap space just went to DeAngelo.

I’m afraid at my own question, because I could certainly envision some scenario where they do something really stupid to make it happen.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Hart, Ghost, NAK, Allison, Brink, Lindblom all come to mind. Could have run Stolarz as a better backup than Jones.

Probably not the best year to pull that one out but they're the exception not the rule.

No depth, just lucky confirmed.

I'll answer you question with a question...

When is the last time the Flyers did something that made me care in a positive way? THAT one will be much tougher to answer.

All our 2nd round picks for a decade...

 

[flyerslducks]

If we traded down tk get savoie or nazar, acquiring more picks in the process….And then we make this move, it would’ve made it easier to swallow.
