this organization is cursed

Not cursed. Run by morons.

 

[Chinatown88]

What plan??? They don't have one.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Does anyone blame him? How could you?

 

[mr4tno]

Totorella the gift that keeps giving. What a shit organization

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is a good point. They had 2.5 years to make this trade. You lose leverage the more this goes but I’m sure more teams are in on him at the draft.

And maybe you fire Tortorella and he changes his mind. This is dumb as f***.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Yikes, this organization is a dumpster fire

 

[Sombastate]

I have every intention of gaining about 100 pounds so there's more of my ass for Chuck Fletcher to eat.

The one decent thing he did

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

T minus how long before Drysdale is scratched so Staal and Seeler and Risto can play?

 

[Curufinwe]

New error of Orange

 

[DancingPanther]

I really can't think of any reason a young player wouldn't want to play here. Can't think of one reason at all. Not one!

 

[Beef Invictus]

What plan??? They don't have one.

They did not make the best of it.

 

[RangersFan1994]

The smoke from training camp was real.

As a Rangers fan I am sorry but why would the Flyers draft someone that had no intention of signing with that team?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Couldn’t even get me Zellweger?!?

 

[Curufinwe]

If only they could have traded him for Jiricek

He has to stay healthy first.

 

[Larry44]

What a horrible deal. Not even a 1st in ‘24? A 2nd in ‘25? I feel sorry for Drysdale.

 

[Danko]

I don't blame him at all. However, for the flyers to not get more for him probably your biggest asset outside of Michkov, during a rebuild no less...is absolutely crazy. I would have anticipated at minimum a first round pick coming back.

 

[trostol]

ok..my mind isn't working..what's the timeline here..was Torts the coach when he was drafted or was it who ever the scrub before him was

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Does anyone blame him? How could you?

I'm not criticizing him individually but with the way "the system" works I really hate these NCAA picks being able to dictate where they go - same with Fox and NYR.

Funny enough I was doing some draft retrospective on my personal rankings today and Drysdale was a guy I could never get a good grip on. I had him high but never felt great about it. Fabulous skater but lacked the high end skill you’d want to bet on. Missed loads of dev time.

Yeah, I can’t imagine that this was the best package, but I get it. Skilled offensive right hand shot d-man. Has decent tracking data from last season. Good passer, great on controlled entries. Not good defensive profile.

They have to now sell. Without the hope that Cutter turns into a top line center, they don’t have nearly enough talent

You're attempting to place logic in skulls filled with cliches and black mold. Abandon hope. We have.

 

[Curufinwe]

As a person with a brain, why would you think the Flyers knew in 2022 he wouldn’t play here?

He has to stay healthy first.

He's played the last 8 games for Anaheim. 8 of 10 this season.

 

[Redpath]

This should be a wake up call to the organization. I am in disbelief.
