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

[Beef Invictus]

Guess you have a different definition than me. He is a top15-20 scoring defensemen in the league and right handed to boot.

Your definition appears to be "well less than a point per game."

 

[Danko]

I would never be surprised by the organization doing something stupid. Just imagine the deal that his agent will be able to get out of the Flyers knowing that they HAVE to sign him or the fanbase won't let them live it down.

Well if they are trading for his rights, it's gonna be to add that 8th year. So we are gonna give him something like 8 years 9 mil at minimum

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is pure comedy. They traded an entire draft's worth of top half of the round picks in order to "upgrade" hagg and ghost to risto and deangelo, and pay double in cap allocation to boot.

I mean, that is just draw droppingly bad management. I can't fathom a legitimate defense of that.

@deadhead this is good management by Fletcher right

Pretty sure that's not a thing anymore.

I just remember seeing his dad at a funeral in South Philly I was at

In board canon, this now refers to Game 5 against the Devils in 2012.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Absolutely bleeding assets at this point. GM needs to f***ing go

Only Calgary can sign him to 8 years, as he was on their roster at the trade deadline.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

As a player it was a great add. Will clearly help the PP. Gave up the next Ginning, Sushko, and Twarn whatever his name.

Meh, the Avs just traded a few picks for a goalie yesterday and did you see what Zito did last year?!

All teams do it.

I can't wait for the 15 paragraph response defending what was done

They'll keep him as president and alt governor, then move a Briere who enthusiastically agreed with these moves into the GM slot by January.

Nothing changes until every person who has ever been within a mile of Clarke is jettisoned.

They can't give him an 8th year.

I don't have a .gif ready for seeing this news this morning.

If an enemy of the Flyers picked a person to destroy the organization from within for the short term and long term, they couldn't have done a better job than what Chuck Fletcher has done in the last two years.

When people tell you we haven't reached rock bottom yet, this is what they mean. It can always get worse.

I don't even mind DeAngelo the player. The asset management by Chuck Fletcher is appalling.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Our media is so awesome, they know the rules inside and out

 

[Danko]

The most generous gm in the league.

 

[Cody Webster]

Can't wait to see what picks we would give up for that...
'23 Flyers 1st, '23 Panthers 1st, '24 Flyers 1st, '25 Flyers 2nd

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Tony for Norris

 

[flyerslducks]

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.

Next gm is gojng to suffer. The inevitable rebuild will now take years longer. They are going to have to sell the entire team for picks like Arizona. What a dark f***ing time to be a flyers fan.

We’ve given up an entire draft of picks for ristorante and deangelo…and no where near even making the playoffs

 

[Lindberg]

Idiotic management. Fire all of them.

Most teams with our draft situation are finishing up a period of contention that included multiple serious runs.

Then there's us, the cupboard empty and one of the worst in the league.

The crazy part is, that contract wont even be the worst thing that happens as part of that trade.

Imagine how much good GMs are going to absolutely PREY on Flyers players like TK and Sanheim once the flyers are sitting 8.09M over the cap and need to clear space.

Sanheim is going to go for a 5th round pick.
