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

[Rebels57]

Ellis - $6.25 million
Stinktolainen - $5.1 million
D'Angelo - $5 million
Sanheim - $4.65 million

Someone or more is getting moved. $28.75 million in defense alone.

It's either Provorov or more likely, Sanheim.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

$10M for Tony DeAngelo and Rasmus Ristolainen.

You may not like it but this is what peak GM performance looks like.

 

[Flyerfan18]

Well then try harder because that's EXACTLY what happened to us

Fletcher won this deal hands down. Most overrated asset in hockey is draft picks. We just need to trade for a mean 6’4 defensemen now. You build from the back out if you want to build a winner

 

[Beef Invictus]

What the actual f***?

You have a great ability to try and find the positive in management decisions.

This being your reaction says a lot.

 

[Curufinwe]

What cracks me up is I have to imagine a 2nd probably would’ve been enough to get this done. Nobody else was seriously interested in DeAngelo.

Why wouldn't other teams be interested in DeAngelo? Carolina was interested in him last summer after he missed basically the whole 2021 season, and he just scored 51 points in 64 games.

Teams don't care about character if they think the player will help them win or put fans in the stands. That's why the Oilers jumped on Kane.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Shinzo Abe is in better shape than this team.

Ooof. Too soon.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They don’t have their pick to do that. They’d have to get it back from Buffalo.

They have/had one next season. Offer him it tomorrow.

Edit: the years and shit seals all blue d together, I forgot that was in the Risto deal.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

$10M for Tony DeAngelo and Rasmus Ristolainen.

You may not like it but this is what peak GM performance looks like.

Maybe they're cross-breeding for competence.

Your schtick is becoming too obvious.

 

[TCTC]

May as well sign Nazem Kadri now while we're at it. Make this team really easy to root for...

 

[Asnito]

It's going to take years for this franchise to recover from the Fletch era. We are literally cooked for at least the next 4-5 years.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I like TDA but holy shit Chuck.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

You have a great ability to try and find the positive in management decisions.

This being your reaction says a lot.

That's more mythos than reality. I just don't join in the hivemind crying about every single move ever made by the Flyers that wasn't exactly what the hivemind wanted.

 

[Danko]

i cant even

 

[Cody Webster]

For what its worth, I'm told by a pretty reliable person that this has basically been in the works since last week. Im not connected to the Flyers in anyway shape or form, but someone who knows DeAngelo's family.

Insiderrrrr

 

[kudymen]

Maybe they're cross-breeding for competence.

And getting all the wrong chromozomes combined. Just unlucky GMing.

 

[Cody Webster]

Thanks to whoever updated the title. I’m actually in the middle of the woods and sitting by an actual bridge.

Can you find Fletch, and push him off?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So essentially Fletcher did this

In
Rasmus Ristolainen
Tony DeAngelo
7th round pick (Not sure what year)

Out
D Shayne Gostisbehre
D Robert Hagg
2021 1st Round Pick
2022 2nd Round Pick
2023 2nd Round Pick
2024 2nd Round Pick
2023 3rd Round Pick
2022 4th Round Pick
2022 7th Round Pick

Gave TDA $5M AAV which is 500k more I believe than Gostisbehere who they dumped for nothing and added picks too

That is a lot of lost assets for so little in return

 

[FlyerNutter]

All I really cared about was the future rebuild. They could have done whatever bullshit in FA or even stupid picks.

I just wanted the next GM to not be working with half a deck when it came to the inevitable point that this is heading.

Do we remember the story of the wooden horse? Fletcher would be the first to be yelling to open the gates.

 

[freakydallas13]

Just so I have this right, we’ve basically spent a 1st, 3 2nds, a 3rd, a 4th, and Ghost to “upgrade” our defense with Risto and Tony D. Oh and blowing 10.5 million in cap space to do so. That is just embarrassing.

They also gave up Haag.

 

[Tripod]

It's either Provorov or more likely, Sanheim.

Maybe Sanheims camp has told Fletch he isn't re-signing....which I don't blame him at all.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Flyers are f***ed. And we know Tony will be benched or scratched often by Torts.

 

[Redpath]

DeAngelo could have actually been a pretty shrewd pickup for a team willing to stomach him. Just not for a team that overpays for everyone.

 

[Flyerfan18]

Your schtick is becoming too obvious.

It’s not Schlick. We just acquired an actual offensive defensemen that can play at a discount. 31 teams in the league try to trade for players like this when they become available.

 

[Danko]

The Kate Smith side of the fan base loves this move.
