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

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Everyone should have known that when Yzerman drafted DeAngelo and then dealt him without DeAngelo getting into the Tampa Bay lineup, something was up. Yzerman just doesn't give up really on players (look how long it took him to trade Jonathan Drouin). The fact that DeAngelo was dealt before even skating a game with Tampa Bay is just that much more smoke that something wasn't right. From what I remember, there were also issues in junior hockey with him and that Sania was all too happy to trade him to Sault Ste Marie. He's toxic.

That one was clear, you needed a 1st and we had the best one. That's what got the deal done.

Except Fletcher should never have made the move to begin with. To top it off, he could have recouped some assets for Ristolainen, but then decided to double down on his mistake for another 5 years

Is Hayes actually the f***ing GM? This is insane at this point.

Surprised Hayes wasn't named head coach. But I look forward to him becoming GM the moment he retires

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Nah

Okay. Sorry

I look forward to his core injury resurfacing in October. He can watch the garbage team he recruited from a bar in Boston with his boys from Barstool.

This is the final straw of final straws. I'm done with this franchise forever. Go Rangers/Penguins.

bye

 

[Embiid]

He said 14 teams I think

14 teams trolling Fletch then...lol

 

[TCTC]

Hayes is just trying to be a good teammate. I have no problem with that. He's definitely very outspoken which seems to rub some people the wrong way, but at least he's trying to add some positivity to our locker room.

 

[trostol]

When ESPN singles you out as a lover in terms of the draft and moves...then you know it's a bad move

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Hurricanes have slavin who can really help stabilize the pairing. We now have TDA and risto, two guys who are very par/subpar in their own zone.

Nonresponsive to the question.

 

[Curufinwe]

Friedman says there was a lot of interest in DeAngelo.

 

[Rebels57]

Igor Silent has been summoned from the depths of hell

 

[Adtar02]

Did he out score ghost this past season on a far more talented and skilled club and by how much. Cause I don’t think he is as good defensively.

I think torts would green light ghost to be a rover cause he sees the ice so well and jumps passing lanes.

Considering he got into a fight with a teammate and that was AFTER he was already on 'team probation' for his attitude and conflicts prior to that I'm not really sure you can say he'll have "EVERYONES" back.

Is someone really shouting into the wind that there's no difference between Carolina giving up 0 assets and paying him $1 million x 1 year.....and what the Flyers did, trading to Carolina (yet another!) 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks, and signing him to $5 million x 2 years, after trading #36 overall with the cheaper Gostisbehere? That level of obtuseness is purposeful. I wouldn't have to explain it to a child.

I'll also add that the Canes have a terrific culture, from Brind'Amour to their players, and are a very successful team. Dropping DeAngelo into that, with serious financial incentives, is night and day from dropping him into this total mess of an organization.

8 teams wanted to trade 1sts for Risto! Fletcher always gets his guy though.

DeAngelo the player is very skilled and has a function, depending on the context. DeAngelo the asset is very complicated.

Another burner account joins the infamous list.

Jesus Christ dude I’m far from rebels political ideology but you earned I think my first block on this website.

Lol

 

[Adtar02]

Almost all trades this gm has prove incompetence. This one is so bad.

 

[Lord Defect]

Asset cost aside, I still don’t care for this move. I’ll admit I don’t know much of his on ice talent, but the fact he has been moved so frequently and his off ice issues are a huge no thank you for me.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

"f*** the Flyers" is the best political ideology

I wanted him exactly in the fashion the canes did. Cheap and for free. Totally agree. The canes board were disappointed they didn’t keep him, for the most part. They thought he played well there.

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

Why not Mitch Miller too? Any other ex-cons, rapists or racists available, or do they only scout Hayes’ iPhone contacts?

Hayes has nothing to do with anything.
