It's embarrassing to criticize the teenager for deciding not to play in Philadelphia. Maybe he could've communicated better. Maybe the grown men could've been better at their jobs.

Good thing they hired Spiritual Leader John Tortorella! Young players love him!

This…100%. What an embarrassment so many on this board are. The Flyers have made a boatload of mistakes, but taking the side of this brat?! WTF?!

Not sure how I feel about this. With the Flyers luck Cutter will be a perennial 50 goal scorer and Drysdale will be injury prone
However we needed a high end defenseman in the system and we weren’t likely to get it this year. I’m hesitantly okay with this
ETA: I now see he didn’t want to play for us. I suppose we did great in this situation to get Drysdale and an early 30’s pick. Not really a fan of Cutter after this

He gave no indication before the draft that he didn’t want to play in Philadelphia. Maybe Torts was part of the reason but there has to be more factors at play here.

I wont tell a Flyers fan what to think about their own club; but Id laugh at Gauthier and say 'yeah, every club has raised a Lindros, right?'
Prestige isnt lost on athletes - no matter how long ago; Babe Ruth is still brought up to this day by Yankees players lol
At the end of the day the Flyers lucked out not signing a player whos clearly in it for himself and not the team and got a player in Drysdale who now has a chip on his shoulder because he actually had the balls to commit to Anaheim (like a real bad man, Sponge)

Russ bringing up that Kevin Hayes got in his head. lol. grasping folks
I am, now that the shock has worn off. You don’t
ghost teams - ever. That’s absolute garbage.
Don’t wanna play here, that’s fine - own it, request a trade and move on.
Don’t just stay quiet and have them chase you. That’s worse than anything.

Cutter is a baby back bitch no doubt.
But if this is the Torts effect the team is to blame too.

This is a day of celebration!
This is like if the Sabres traded Ristolainen BEFORE he shit his breeches for years.
We’ve dodged a large, stupid bullet.

I like Drysdale, so he just needs to avoid the injury bug and suddenly we have a pretty okay top-4 going forward.

Listen, I am relieved that I don't have to listen to fans and media fawn over a winger playing center who likes to shoot the puck from the Andromeda Galaxy with pace/IQ issues. Those people will suddenly excoriate him, while I don't really care. I don't have to listen to people pretending Tortorella isn't toxic. And I don't have to listen to the Flyers touted as some sought after destination. Yay?
There's no way this was the best value long-term. They wanted a piece to add to their playoff run NOW. Even if Drysdale has talent and is young, we're talking about someone with lost development and a non-ELC. Is this a PP QB predicated move (lol)? There's a good chance they pissed away 5th overall value (multiple times).
And it leaves them with absolutely no center depth long-term. You had to squint and pretend Gauthier could be a 1C to believe in this pretend rebuild. Now? If they knew about this for a year, then it makes everything about Frost's handling -- like he was a luxury -- so much worse. That's the most likely ~2nd line (let alone top line) center under the age of 31 in the organization.

On the bright side, Walker is being traded soon, and maybe Risto and Seeler too. Staal will get a 7th. Trade ‘em all.

It just doesn't make sense to not respond to them at all. I mean we don't know how the meeting/conversation went last may. If he truly informed them and said Final Decision back in May, is it really ghosting?

This is a guy they’ve been promoting as the major piece to their rebuild (they’re not rebuilding) besides Michkov. They’re not doing this today unless they have, at the very least, what they want. Not many teams have 21YO d-men who play >20 min per night on the table, either. Of course, he is on the table himself for reasons.
I know everyone is circlejerking that Tortorella and the Flyers are awful, but this is just bizarre. This trade sucks.
Who is Cutter Gauthier to make a demand like this? For what possible reasons?
The Flyers aren’t the 1991 Quebec Nordiques. Nothing about this makes sense.

His camp wouldn’t even TALK to the Flyers. I don’t care who the team is, that is a total gutless bitch thing to do.

OK, so who on the 2023 World Champs USA team would have convinced Cutter to not sign in Philly?
Briere said it was that event that he told them he wasn’t going to play here.
