[Flyerfan4life]

this is the question that should be being asked by the team reporters

Flyers pay the coyotes to take ghost and his bad contract. Then Flyers overpay for a head case with the same contract. I think we are in a weird wreck it Ralph video game cause this world doesn’t make sense. Gave away all these picks to really end up with the same team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Please stop with Hayes. Just stop. It's enough.

Saw an interview of Michael Del Zotto a couple weeks ago who started out by saying a lot of young guys coming into the league these days are soft. He played for Torts twice with the Rangers and Columbus and came to love him as a coach but it was a lot of tough love with the Rangers. Torts wants his defenders to defend and DeAngelo just ain’t that good at it. Carolina had Slavin one of the league’s best defenders riding shotgun with him last year and the Flyers just don’t have anyone that can defend as well as Slavin. A lot of teams don’t. Despite all his yapping and the occasional fight at 25/26 Tony is a soft player IMO. He likes to leave the every day dirty work to others. He is a talented player no question but I don’t see anything but fireworks coming if he doesn’t change his ways.

Just wait until they give Hayes the C

We all know that's coming next

 

[BernieParent]

I'm curious. Is there a count of the number of posters who considered themselves Hurricanes fans who are also complaining about the Flyers acquiring DeAngelo?

I thought a lot less of the Hurricanes for signing DeAngelo.

And they got him for free on a cheap contract.

The Flyers traded a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and gave him $10 million

 

[BernieParent]

The oddity of all of this is how transparent Fletcher is for his moves but when it comes to his team objectives it's opposite day. "We are going to fix the defense!" Makes defense worse. "We are going to rebuild team chemistry!" Even bigger apparent locker room issues. "We are going to restore accountability!" Trades for a player the Rangers cut from their roster for being an awful teammate.

 

[AdamParrot]

This organization is big joke.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Objectively, is there any team/organization you would clearly rank below us? At least in terms of power rankings and trends I’m not sure there is. On ice we were an old team last year (relatively) and finished near last. Now we’re a year older without Giroux.

Off ice I’d say we have the worst management and culture in the league maybe. At least in terms of building a winning team (in the long and short term).

Absolutely not. We are rock bottom. Arizona laughs at us now and they are playing in a college arena this season.

1 yr 1m flyer on a guy nobody else wanted. I'd say they did good to get 3 picks back. 3rd straight year they will need to find Slavin a new partner, but I almost feel like it doesn't matter who is with him, they will be good.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

The Canes fans acknowledge that the trade was good business (signing for $1M and getting draft picks just a year later) but many are upset he’s gone and many were upset they couldn’t offer him the same deal.

That was a bit eye opening. I just don’t like how this dude is not a top 4 guy, makes me shake my head

 

[wankstifier]

Maybe the Hurricanes will trade their 2nd for Gostisbehere when they’re gearing up for the playoffs.

 

[flyersnorth]

I’m actually happy that I was completely offline for the past 24 hours due to the Rogers outage in Canada.

So which scenario is better?

TDA or Risto as 3rd pair RHD making $5M?

Or Ellis on LTIR forever, and Risto/TDA as your 1/2 RHD?

Well, it seems like I’m the only Canes fan who is as angry about this trade as you guys are.

But that’s only because we have a lot of guys who like to rationalize all the strange machinations of our front office as if they were some kind of geniuses.

This guy is a really good player and you’ll love him if you can somehow get your head around how you know he truly feels about stuff.

But if he does start to feel comfortable and make his way back on to Twitter I’ll enjoy watching the fireworks between him and that Antifa mascot of yours. Maybe they’ll fight!

He's third in the NHL in pp/60 (5x5) the last three years, behind only Makar and Josi.
The knock on the ice is his defense, how bad was he in Nashville?

 

[Young Sandwich]

Did the Flyers just sneak in that TDA press conference with no heads up whatsoever? Those sneaky f***s.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The worst part of the trade for me personally is the amount of weirdos this brings into discussions in my little corner of the world. Not fun ones either. Weird weird.

 

[landsbergfan]

not sure why everyone is making a big deal about this...he clearly isn't racist

Now that is top tier reporting.

Sam’s brought way more joy into my life than the Flyers in the last decade. I hope he enjoys retired life, but keeps giving us these gems every once in a while.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Just finished his press conference. Said all the right things. Very short leash here though. I think he’ll be ok off the ice

He is just microaggressive...
