I’m not searching for @GapToothedWonder ’s quote.
Instead of playing for the garbage fire that is the flyers he can play for the garbage fire that’s the ducks.

The Flyers were recently sitting at 2nd in the division until their western road trip. There's no way management gives up key pieces of the team when they're sitting in that position. If the Flyers continue to slip then hopefully we'll see Seeler/Walker moved sooner rather than later but no team is going to dismantle their roster while they're overperforming just because "well we were supposed to suck this year."

Trades rarely happen until about a week before the TDL b/c teams are both deciding to be buyers/sellers or fence sitters, and the potential buyers are usually accumulating cap room to add players.

Now inquiries probably started already, but big gap between "are you interesting moving X" and "we'll give you Y for X."

Because for all our sins we are flyers fans. If I didn't have any hope this team could actually turn things around then I wouldn't be a fan. Even if it's blind hope.

What's more confusing is why someone like you hangs around the flyers boards posting about how they are doing everything wrong and yet your "apathetic" towards the team.

Your lying to yourself that you don't care, because rational people wouldn't be here if they didn't.

Rational people aren’t here right now for the flyers, they’re here for the other posters they have become internet friends with, to shit talk, and the non hockey or non flyers stuff.

I will never stop laughing at JVR immediately turning back into a very good player the second he got out of here and people still bringing him up as a sign of doom.

This was another thing that I predicted all last season. Blatant misuse.

I repeat, a major reason this team is terrible is because they don't know better then me. And I would eat vinegar popsicles dipped in dressings. That's a bad look for them.

Seeler and Walker definitely increased their trade value substantially, Seeler from a late round pick to 3rd rd or so, Walker from middle round pick to 2nd or so. Seeler is the kind of player HCs covet for the playoffs, great shot blocker who plays physical defense. And Walker made a big jump to a legitimate 2nd pair D-man. Given one was an AHL signing and the other a throw-in for cap reasons, not bad.

Guess what, they're still here and the odds of them being traded are probably lower than Cutter ever playing a game in a Flyers jersey

There are threads for that. This is a hockey board where actual flyers fans want to discuss the team.

As of today, they're not in a playoff spot.

How am I reading so many of you Flyers fans berate management over this situation? Gauthier is solely to blame for behaving like an entitled child. I understand if you're unhappy about the trade and the return. But your 18-year-old prospect shouldn't be pouting because of who your coach is.

I see where he's coming from because Tortorella is an assclown...

Calling Briere the new GM is very generous. They promoted Fletchers intern. The guy trained by Fletcher and Flahr. Nothing here is new

It's not generous. Its literal fact. He is the New GM of the flyers, he is a new GM. A general managers duties extend further than picking a roster, like most other GMs in the business, they were all interns to someone that got fired.

...but it's just money at the end of the day. I personally would rather have guys that play for the love of the game as the #1 reason, not money. That's the same approach I have to my job, I truly love what I do, and yes, I'm paid well for it, but money is secondary to the work itself. You don't become truly great at something because you like money... And I'll leave it at that.

I can't believe people actually suck their own farts enough to believe this.

I don't know what you do, but if your boss came in and told you that you were going to have to take a big pay cut you wouldn't accept that. You would take another job where you got paid what you knew you were worth. You wouldn't come in for free, you wouldn't do your job for the love of it.

I have a prestigious "you do it because you love it" job. A job people tell me all the time I'm so lucky I get to do, and I wouldn't for a second think about doing it for a penny less then the maximum I am able to get.

I know the Flyers have had a bit of a time these last few years , and Torts is Torts, but to not sign with the team, damn. I'm reading a lot on how down people are on this team but as a Habs fan ,while I have generally despised the Flyers its always been with respect. Flyers have generally been one of not many teams who have not been a bottom feeder ever, let alone on a regular basis. And the the city is a great sports town for sure.

Not signing because he doesnt want to play for a specific coach? , I dont know. The ELC part if true could be a piss off, I know Habs have burned a year a few times as a good will ( so they will sign ) gesture, but an American kid not signing with the Flyers ? I mean is anybody thinking maybe this kid was coming at it wrong and maybe he will be a problem in the future ?

Granted, Torts is probably very hard to play for when you're in his dog house. But it can't all be bad. Also, Cutter will at the very least play 12 years in the league. A very small fraction of that would have been spent with Torts. I just don't like these types of trade demands and, in my opinion, it's not a good look for Cutter.

You’re from out of town, right?

Torts is the most powerful person in the organization. The job openings for GM and President came with the requirement of keeping Tortorella as head coach.

He’s going to be here for a while. They view him as a deity.

For all our sins, we are Flyers fans.

Yep, that sounds like the appropriate cause and effect here.
