I'm full on sobbing right now. It's so beautiful.

I know people won't want to hear this, but they'll have to explore trading Laughton+2nd+Andrae for Pettersson now. This situation is not unfixable, but it will hurt a little to fill Gauthier's place as the 1C.

Vancouver will happily trade us Elias Pettersson for that: Elias Pettersson Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Salary, Title | Hockey-Reference.com

ASF says somethings gonna have to give as far as another trade/shoe to drop.

Torts is gonna dress 12D and 6F

It would be cool if the Flyers traded Ristolainen

 

[BiggE]

At least they were less boring than usual today.

 

[VladDrag]

If the issue was Torts why is there also talk of him wanting to sign at the end of last season to burn off ELC time?

I only saw that from one tweet/account. I'm not trusting it until there is more reports on it...and if there are, I willl re-evaluate.

posted already? Who knows this website keeps breaking

Dude. Your rankings have to be in shambles.

Cutter for Drysdale is a huge downgrade. Cutter had that #1 spot locked in for at least a decade.

Shit truck just stuck Letang and cut him

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Placing all of the blame on Kevin Hayes (the guy out the door) is textbook Flyers.

Hot damn, seems we traded for the prom king.

Guaranteed Ted Lindsay Award every year to Drysdale incoming.

Hartnell mentioned it before I saw the tweets and said it as if he was privy to something.

They also defended Torts. So, maybe it was a combination of being annoyed with the team for not signing him this season in order to tank and also being worried his career will be Frost'd by Torts.

We want trades to be win-win, otherwise teams might stop dealing with us. Every time I remember they said this, I laugh.

 

[Sombastate]

Let me cheer everyone up in here.

One day soon, TK is gonna be able to talk shit to Cutter. And that's gonna be an all time moment in hockey history

That's Carolina's model as well

Michkov for Shane Wright?

7th overall for 4th overall and winger for a center so using Flyers logic, WE WIN!

eh to be honest...i am kind of over TK schtick

 

[Redpath]

I'm probably not the first to say this, but thank God that Chuck Fletcher wasn't the GM who took charge making this trade out of necessity.

I can’t wait to boo him.

We are in brawl watch vs Pens.

Too many smol boys

Careful, @FLYguy3911 is getting excited reading this.

So it could've been a combination of both right? I could totally see the Flyers say they wanted to sign him, Cutter saying sure you but we need to burn a year off my ELC and then them saying, it's a coach's decision on who plays and Torts saying he wouldn't guarantee it either. I'm sure his relationship with Hayes didn't do them any favors

 

[Magua]

I also want to put into perspective the need to draft Bonk over multiple very good forwards. They needed defensemen! Especially right shot ones!

Everything about the last 12 months looks so so so so much worse when we realize they knew the exact situation.

There's a game?!

 

[Beef Invictus]

I like this trade. We now have 8 defenceman? There were rumours that philly could move Seeler and Walker by the trade deadline. Possible high picks and we still have 6 defensemen. I think the market for defense is high right now. What's not to like? I know Drysdale was struggling in Anaheim but look what Torts did with RIsto. Just last year we thought Risto was a lost cause. This could be a win win for Danny. Make it happen.

Risto is bad though

I won't clog up the thread with all of them, but.....it's basically all the account talks about.

Spoiler

Whoever's account that is, they obviously knew something
