It's not really that embarrassing, once you consider that Marc Staal DID want to sign here.

lol

They were stunned like it was Gretzky going to LA.

 

[Danko]

I'll just say that being in the arena has been a different vibe this year, and I enjoy it much more then years past. I think that is a step in the right direction.

 

[trostol]

Yes the Flyers may deserve this and Torts needs to go, but f*** Cutter. He wouldn’t talk to the Flyers and avoided them? Is he a man or a child? Red flag

don't think anyone is denying that in the way he handled himself in this..but this just reflects so poorly on the org

 

[Magua]

I just want to get this off my chest: Gauthier sucked in the gold medal game. Beyond invisible.

Hope I don't get lectured on semantics by someone who posts once every 3 months.

 

[tictactoe]

who is his agent? I mean kids camp did not even want to give a reason why he does not want to stay here?

 

[tymed]

Gauthiers a twat

Holding on to Laughton, knowing Gauthier wouldn't sign, is high level incompetence.

Might not have received as good a deal as the draft day rumour, but it's a move that should have been made.

They just can't help tripping over themselves.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Cutter didn't want to play for this team, how can that be?! They fixed the culture! They celebrated Sinder's birthday!

@GKJ please clap

 

[trostol]

wait..i just figured it out...this is the Flyers doing the Eagles a solid so people stop talking about them

 

[flyerslducks]

Holy shit ducks can add celebrini too

Man that organization is killing it lately

If the rumor was CLOSE to true it should have been made.

 

[Cody Webster]

People are saying this is a Cutter burner

 

[bennysflyers16]

Who is cutters agent ? Any other flyers repped by them ? Could be some future issues.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I hear you, and I get it. As a fan that has followed this team since the early 70s, it’s just so frustrating that a player doesn’t want to play here so badly that he won’t even speak to the club.

The Flyers used to be one of the NHLs destination franchises. Now they’re just a joke.

MSN

Drysdale is joining an organization that also has young defensemen such as Cam York along with prospects Oliver Bonk and Emil Andrae as one of the selling points of a rebuild that appears to be ahead of schedule. The Flyers (20-13-6) entered Monday in third place in the Metropolitan Division.​

​

Drysdale's arrival also gives the Flyers another top-four option in addition to what they have with Travis Sanheim, Nick Seeler, Sean Walker and York.​

​

One of the characteristics that made Drysdale a coveted prospect was his puck-moving ability. That was on display during his first full season, with 12 of his points coming in the power play.​

​

It's possible the Flyers could use Drysdale to address a power-play unit that has been a concern. The Flyers entered Monday with the worst power play in the NHL at success rate of 10.2%.​

The icing on the cake is the 2nd coming in 2025 instead of 2024 where its guaranteed to be Top 35ish lmao.

He's also holding out for the Bruins

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

They SO don't want to have to do the work to build through the draft. I'm sitting here howling (on the inside) about the traditional reputation the Flyers have for high character, high motor guys who would do anything to win - meanwhile, here we have this country club (very heavy emphasis on the "c***") where a bunch of unemployed lazy dinosaurs latch onto the only tit which would have them and never, EVER stop sucking.

 

[VladDrag]

On the one hand, f*** the kid for not even hearing out the plan from the team that drafted him. But on the other hand, good for him. I wish more players would take a hard-lined approach towards organizations that have pretty terrible tack records. Maybe then the NHL wouldn't be run largely by an old boys club that continually rotates in proven failures from other organizations.

Edit: Also comical that a team that is supposedly rebuilding would take back a player on his second contract instead of opting for more picks. Rebuild... right...

He told them in summer 2023 that he was absolutely out. But, If I understand correctly, he told them 2 months after his draft. He already knew the plan. He didn't need to meet with them again after 2023 when his mind was fully made up.

 

[Danko]

Drysdale is easier to say then Gauthier to...there's that.

 

[Striiker]

Duck fan coming in peace. Why did you guys trade Cutter, I’ve read something about him not being happy with the organization. This trade really come out of left field.

Is Cutter a risk of not signing?

cutter is a boy with a fork in a world full of soup

im sorry for your loss gain

 

[bennysflyers16]

Imagine looking up to Hayes lol

 

[Beef Invictus]

Sometimes I think that building your future around an old coach who is the most hated in the league is a poor strategy.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

A young player who refuses to play for a coach can go play golf.

Oh wait!

That's like massaging your turds after you poop them.
