Reports are that two other teams were in on TDA and they both dropped out. He cost a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in futures.

3=31? A future 2nd, 3rd, 4th is premium?

I know you have a schtick and I shouldn’t bother, but you literally said 31 teams chase a trade for a guy like this lol.
Every team is interested. Cap space, division, etc come into play. Some can’t do it. If you believe everything you read about stuff that doesn’t happen and take it as fact. Well I’ll leave it at that

no bad feelings. I know my english is bad. And after 11 days of working in a row iam pretty bang up mentally. And the whole Flyers Draft situation isnt doing anything better. So i understand that iam pretty difficult to understand :D
Your English is better than most of our German, I'd wager. I know it's better than mine, and I lived in Bavaria for a couple of years! Koln is a nice city too, one day I'll spend more than an evening.

Ed Snider allowed Bobby Clarke to acquire Billy Tibbets. I’m sure there’s other ones out there too that I can’t think of off the top of my head.

I’m not trying to bang on Snider as I ultimately do think he was a good guy or at least as much as what he did for a living would allow him to be. But I hate the “this would never happen if Ed was still alive” talking point when there’s clearly examples of similar stuff happening when he was alive & running the team.

I don't know how Provorov moves. Who takes his place unless we get a similar player back? The Flyers could have traded for an actual good defenseman today and we still wouldn't have enough.

Well who goes? That’s a lot of money tied up in D presuming Ellis plays at some point. If this Risto nonsense didn’t happen I could see keeping everyone. Now? I don’t see it.

Concur about Snider.....I mean he wasn't exactly a socialist. He was large L libertarian as well which was not surprising given his affluence and following of Ayn Rand who was a good novelist but not somebody you should necessarily ascribe your politics to..especially your econ..lol

I think they deal with Ellis playing when Ellis is ready to play. They will cross that bridge when they get to it. It may not even be Fletcher’s problem to fix.

Ed would trust their judgement, but would not put up with it if he caused a problem.
He eventually didn't with Carter and Richards although with Carter they were more willing to bc "he scores goals" or so it was reported as being said...

On paper, the defense looks to be improved with TDA over others who can't don't want to play RHD. It was obvious that the club needed to add a RHD this off season. The cost was high but then again, most half decent RHDs don't come cheap. My fear going into this offseason was swapping out TK for a RHD. Now the doesn't look as if it is necessary, though it doesn't mean that it won't happen. So for me, its we got TDA, kept TK and gave up some draft choices. Could be worse. Lets just hope that Fletcher doesn't have anything screwier on his mind.

I love this gif so much. Thank you. Something good came out of the flyers shooting themselves in the foot for the 29th time.

No offense but Kevin, no one should have asked you. We saw you and Yandle last year. You wouldn't know a good teammate if he kicked you in the ass. Open up a can of Quiet and sit in the corner.
Well, Bill asked him.
