Michkov refused to talk to the Coyotes, is he a big baby for that?

Here's the scuttlebutt out of BC, this guy is really tapped into the program there and this would make sense from Gauthier's side

I think American sports would be better off if every team was named after the billionaire company that owns them and people(fans) could separate it from their city. The Xfinity Flyers have not been a very well run subsidiary.
If some random college kid got suckered into a contract with Xfinity and managed to get out via a loophole and go somewhere they wanted most would be like "haha, serves that massive corporation right"
But just because it says Philadelphia on the jersey instead of Xfinity I'm supposed to treat them radically different. Nah.

Him and his agent not wanting to even talk at the World Juniors is a dick move. I agree this used to be a prime FA destination. This also is something that is not new. Who was the last top end FA to sign here? If JVR and Hayes are the best 2 that is more than just a Torts problem

The Hockey News Volume 77 lol has a Prospect List under 21 section. Cutter is listed at 20. Drysdale is at 22. "he has the tools to become the Ducks No. 1 defenseman" In addition to a possible #1 D, (POSSIBLE) we got a 2nd round pick to boot. It stings to lose Gauthier's potential but better to get rid of the headache now, then get screwed later

Lmfao Keith Jones just said former Ducks GM Bob Murray (one of the worst in the business who was fired in disgrace) was instrumental in targetting Drysdale.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
This is all well and good, but ask yourself this. When these D start to hit their stride in 3-4 years, who will be the 1C and 2C? An aging Couts, Frost who gets shit on by the HC constantly?
After a decade of failure, it’s very hard to still have faith in this franchise. Especially when ownership is now a faceless corporation that couldn’t care less.

So now is when we trade a defenseman to make room for our new heir while also getting trade value for a veteran defenseman?
Right? Please?

Players were polled a few years ago and Tortorella was WAY more hated than Babs. It wasn't even close.

I'm troubled by the lack of faith in Sanheim to turn Drysdale into a 1RD and a healthy, happy boy.

Frost needs to be treated like a GOD from here on out. They cannot play games with him anymore (they shouldn't have in the first place). Their C depth is non-existent. If he wants chicken tendies delivered from Paris before a game, Keith Jones needs to get on a plane and hand deliver that shit.

No they're not - he didn't want to play for my favorite hockey team. I hope he has success but F him anyway.
The preschool move these days is to pretend you're better than others and insult them in the process.

After the initial shock I’m okay with this. Both players have question marks and pedigree. Drysdale has injury concerns but lots of people wondering how Cutter will translate to the NHL.
I think Drysdale is the higher ceiling but bigger risk because of injuries. If he plays regularly and becomes a top pairing guy who adds dynamic to the powerplay, we did great. Gauthier probably has a higher floor but what is his ceiling?
Now the Flyers have 3 picks from the late teens to early 30’s. They can get creative in trades or take major swings or grab fallers. If Gauthier wasn’t going to play then Briere did great. I know this board is doom and gloom but this is far from a bad trade. Many here weren’t too high on Cutter anyway. Drysdale is the type of swing for the fences move I think we like to see. More risk but if he works out we are in a better position than with Cutter. Not a fan of him ghosting the team if that’s what happened. Drysdale also helps this year. It will definitely be more interesting paying attention to prospects this draft with 3 bullets in the chamber probably from 15-35. Take a deep breath everyone, if he walked for nothing that would have been way worse

Every time I think this can't get funnier, someone finds a new way in which they might have been incompetent.

Stop watching anything to do with anything, boo. I've warned you!
Keith Jones spent the offseason pleasuring himself to Vegas' big and rough defense corps. Now, they're going to roll York, Andrae, and Drysdale? I'm skeptical they do for any long period of time, but more than that, it shows that they (once again) can't keep their story straight. I don't even have to like their story, but they're flying by the seat of their pants and calling it a vision.

They need to let Zamula play. I don't know what they are gonna do with Walker Risto Seeler but Sanheim, York and Zamula need to play.

Dan Hilferty is a bumbling idiot on this STG interview. 
This is why when you draft college players in the first round, you get them signed, period. The Flyers go cheap here yet they give ND $1.4 Mil for 4 years. You really can't make up this stuff.
Gauthier has not played one game in the NHL and even he knows the Flyers are a shit organization.
