Drysdale has no value and we still won this trade.

That’s how shit Gauthier and the Flyers drafting is

 

[deadhead]

Maybe the 2nd rd pick will end up the best asset in this trade.

 

[Magua]

Their ass backwards evaluating can be summarized in calling Drysdale a "rover," with now 8 points in 39 games while playing every game on PP1, and saying that arguably the worst defenseman in the NHL this season has top pair upside a mere 39 games ago. You don't get to be that wrong that quickly, while having data already for a player on his 2nd contract, and make me care what you have to think the next time. Besides, we're already past the next time: that was June 28th, 2024.

I'll reiterate: if finishing 13th worst and drafting Patrick, future events unforeseen, was a franchise crippling mistake, as said by the Chuck Fletcher Truthers, then what is finishing 4th worst and ending up with Drysdale, a known quantity? An inconvenience? Draft disappointments happen, usually years down the line. This is not a garden variety bust. Their decision making had to fail at levels including: amateur scouting, professional scouting, statistical analysis, asset valuation, trade timeliness, managerial delegating, front office discipline. What haven't we learned from this trade?

Or maybe no one wanted to give them a better deal than Carolina got for Fox?
I haven't seen many names mentioned, Rossi in the summer when he was an undersized center coming off 1 apple in 19 games. Bryam, also damaged goods.
At least with Drysdale they got a high 2nd rd pick.

The simplest explanation is that a management group famous for burning value at every turn trained the new guy from the ground up to do that exact same thing.

Sure seems like they need to fire everyone and start from scratch, and every day they put it off is another day of Michkov's future prime wasted.

Adam Fox! It's too early for Groundhog Day, man. I've addressed this 15 times. I won't address it again.

It does he have his adenoids?

But not it*

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Yes, no one wanted to trade for the highly regarded prospect who hadn't even started his ELC. We know this because Aaron Portzline didn't beam a message into my brain about Kent Johnson.

So where's the rumored package of 1st rd pick and B+ prospect they turned down?
Haven't heard hide or hare.
Can't imagine they went 8 months and no rumors of the great package they rejected in favor of Drysdale.

Sometimes life just sucks.

Right. We know every detail of every trade negotiation ever. Excellent point.

If he's insane, I'd hate to think what they'd classify my RV-living ass as.

80 hour weeks plus grad school 2 hours away. You can't hurt me anymore.

How many times do you need to be told the Adam Fox situation before you stop comparing the two? 20?

Conversely, how many times do you need someone to tell you they're an idiot before you start believing them?

This is more of a general comment. Obviously.

I will chain you in a room and make you okay Cataclysm classic. Competitively.

As an aside, the new season of D4 has played very well. Probably the first time ever in an ARPG I didn't make an alt before 'beating' the end game.
