Confirmed with Link: Flyers Trade 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Round Picks For Tony DeAngelo And a 7th (Signs 2x$5M Ext)

[GKJ]

Oh he's getting a terrible extension. Risto all over again. He'll be unable to trade him at anything like that value so he will be forced to re-sign him to save face. And he will lose those negotiations too. Fletcher is the biggest loser in NHL history. It's what he was born to do.

There’s no way this happens with one. He was given permission to speak with other teams.

Worst GM in the sport. This cements it.

It’s pretty clear they want a “fiery” asshole filed team this season with the likes of Torts and Tony.

Keep the mouthbreathers entertained.

 

[FlyerNutter]

The second from next year when this could be a bottom end team?

That’s the 2nd no?

My god.

 

[DancingPanther]

Yup, I'm now actively rooting against them. I hope they lose every single night. Say goodbye to Travis

 

[Curufinwe]

Only 2 years at $5m. Interesting.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

What the actual f***?

July 6th: "Unlikeable team? Unlikeable? Why? It is not like they are after players like Kadri or Tony DeAngelo!"

 

[GKJ]

Damn we’re gonna have a right side of TDA, Risto and I think York? In hopes Ryan Ellis doesn’t have a career ending injury? Who is the defensive guy in that?

Luckily not Shayne Gostisbehere!!!!11!1!!!1!!ONE!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh, the Flyers got a 7th. Much better

My god.

Should be even better than pick 36 that went to Arizona. Probably pick 33.

 

[RANKKA]

2years? just a 2nd would've been an overpayment

 

[FlyerNutter]

The player, and extension aside.

The biggest issue I see here is the overpay. For a team near the bottom of the standings to throw away picks so casually.

It’s lunacy. Gross overpay, and the one thing that would have wounded me is Fletcher impacting a future rebuild. He did just that with this move.

 

[Flyerfan18]

I wouldn’t say fleeced but the cost to acquire him wasn’t bad. One of Chucks better deals.

 

[sa cyred]

Character issues aside (which has insane red flags) the guy is an abomination on defense. I fully expect the same people that grilled Ghost's defense to grill his.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Do they even have $5M to spend on a player?

 

[FlyTimmo]

Incredible stuff.

 

[Curufinwe]

York was pretty vocal about not liking to play the right side.

Provorov-DeAngelo
Sanheim-Risto
York-Attard/cheap vet

 

[Evergreen]

So we paid Arizona to take Ghost off our hands, and now we give up even more picks to replace Ghost with a racist version of basically the same player. Fantastic. I officially can't stand this team.

 

[Embiid]

@deadhead is this good management?

This is Holmgren redux with respect to picks and horrific asset management...

 

[Redpath]

The irony of making this trade just to pay him more than Ghost while also getting the locker room baggage as well.

He'll be a valuable addition, but we just bled assets to wind back up at square zero.

 

[Curufinwe]

Do they even have $5M to spend on a player?

If Ellis is going on LTIR like Tampa are doing with Seabrook, then yes.

 

[kudymen]

fully expect the same people that grilled Ghost's defense to grill his.

This will be probably one of the more interesting storylines for the upcoming season for me.
