As usual, you are a disingenuous jackass.

"HATE this teams direction"

"Go home, we're drunk."

"What f*** the actual, Branny?"

"Danny just got fleeced damn"

"What the f*** are you doing Danny!"

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING"

"This GM is so f***ing awful"

"Staal Johnson will be the worst pair in Flyers history"

"At least we have clarity on one thing: Danny Briere is a f***ing clown GM."

"This trade makes me absolutely furious"

Trading a 4th round pick for Erik Johnson is drunk behavior.

Sorry the world isn’t sunshine and rainbows.

These things matter when combined with other f*** ups.

 

[Curufinwe]

Also, what makes this move even worse is that we all know Tortorella will want him extended for next season, so expect a overpaid contract this summer

Eh, I doubt that happens.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Eh, I doubt that happens.

It's gonna happen. He'll replace Staal

 

[Jettany]

So a rebuild is defined by a lot of players on buyouts and dead money?

I thought a rebuild is defined by using all possible ways to acquire draft picks or young players with potential?

You can have 100.000.000.000 on dead money on the cap but also have few picks and bad depth in your talent pool!

The Flyers are on the best way to do exactly that!

Do you take this show on the road?

 

[Curufinwe]

He can’t sign before July 1, and everything reported seems to indicate pointing that to happening.

Yup, it’s been reported as much as Provorov’s time being up in Philly was reported last year. I’m still chuckling about that weirdo who refused to believe it right up to the day Provy got the boot to Columbus.

The bad vibes in this community are based on things the Flyers do for the last 15 years at a minimum. All long time member of this forum are Flyers fans for decades (me included). They have seen the Flyers doing the same shit all over again. Week after week, month after month, year after year.

And now we are blamed for calling the same things the same shit!

- Oduya was claimed by the Philadelphia Flyers on 26 February 2018.[10] After playing in only one game as a Flyer on 4 March, he was pulled out of the lineup with a lower body injury on 10 March.[11] He did not play another game with the Flyers before his contract expired. --> playerd over young players


- Following Baumgartner's breakout season, he became an unrestricted free agent, and on July 1, 2006, he signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.[1] However, after six games, he was waived on October 17, 2006, and assigned to the Philadelphia Phantoms of the AHL a week later.


- On September 7, 2013, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Hal Gill to a professional try-out, allowing him to attend their training camp.[16] On October 1, the team signed him to a one-year, $700,000 contract.[17][18] Gill played in a mere six games for the Flyers, mainly serving as a healthy scratch.


- March 8, 2004 – Vladimir Malakhov was traded by the New York Rangers to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Rick Kozak and Philadelphia's 2005 2nd round draft choice.

- On July 1, 2009, he signed a four-year, $6.8 million deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning.[2] On July 19, 2010, Walker was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, along with a 4th-round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, in exchange for forward Simon Gagné.[3]

Walker's three years in Philadelphia were marred by hip and back injuries, playing in only eight games with the Flyers and 44 games with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms. He missed the entire 2012–13 season due to a back injury.

- On February 26, 2011, Boynton was claimed off of waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers, with whom he played ten games to conclude the 2010–11 season. He retired after the season.[9]

- Danny Markov was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Justin Williams partway through the season. In the time leading up to the 2005–06, the Flyers found themselves in potential trouble with the new salary cap and needed to unload some salary. Thus, they traded Markov to the Nashville Predators for a third round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Just a short look on the history of acquiring aging out defenders mostly for relative high draft picks! Who mostly underperform! Its something the flyers love to do! Other franchises play the talents instead and win!

There’s any number of guys they could sign in free agency like they did with Staal. Johnson was acquired because three of the top 6 are hurt.

Hell, it could even be Staal.

Where was that? I don’t remember that off-hand. Good for a laugh.

Pretty sure it was blackjack. The same guy who was adamant that the Flyers don’t do focus groups.

lol. You’re funny. The Oduya claim set back the franchise a decade! Kinda like drafting Patrick, O’Brien and Ratcliffe.

10 posts in a thread with 277 replies. Thank you for proving that you're completely overblowing this and the nonstop whining about anyone daring to say anything negative ever is sad.

Firstly, those are more than enough. Secondly, you tried to downplay the number earlier.

You never admit when you are wrong. You double- and triple-down, because you have no integrity.

 

[Canfly]

It's a fourth round draft pick which usually doesn't amount to anything anyways. It isn't the end of the world. I think it is just in case of another injury that you have a sixth defenceman

 

[GKJ]

Pretty sure it was blackjack. The same guy who was adamant that the Flyers don’t do focus groups.

I wonder if he’s the same guy who was adamant Hextall wouldn’t get a 1st for Coburn

"They are now less likely to make the playoffs."

Based on what? I thought you and this board considered Ginning an ECHL-level talent. Now the Flyers are less likely to make the playoffs because they are replacing Ginning's roster spot with Erik Johnson?

The hypocrites are out in full force.

 

[mercury]

Nobody is having a meltdown. And the last few weeks the bulk of the whining has been a handful of posters sobbing nonstop about other posters not leaking effusive praise for everything the team does. Maybe....stop?

You lie and gaslight in every single post.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Briere over paid and made a weak trade.
In the pantheon of trades like Emminger, oates, markov, in our lives we'll live.

 

[mercury]

Like, if you want to celebrate how much you love everything this team does, more power to you. Enjoy it.

But if you are upset everytime someone else here is frustrated/despondent/angry with yet another Flyers boneheaded decision and general lack of direction, and whine about other people calling the team out, maybe don't do that? Huff all the team farts you desire, but don't get up in arms if everyone doesn't think like you do.

You guys are over the top. Some of you are downright out of touch with reality. If you post something stupid, people get to tell you it's stupid.

 

[mercury]

It's because they want to have fun talking hockey again and they can't right now, so they're bitter and resentful, but they direct it at the wrong people, i.e. at clear-eyed fans who can't help but see how f***ed we are, instead of the people they should direct their angst at, namely the diseased organizational culture and the old boys club morons who perpetuate it.

No, it's because some people here are f***ing idiots. You AREN'T clear-eyed. The ones with the shit-colored glasses are as off-base as the ones with the rose-colored glasses.

 

[LegionOfGloom]

Imagine this guy having this type of meltdown because people had the gall to question the wisdom of trading a 4th round pick for Erik Johnson in 2024.

 

[Starat327]

Likewise.

Whining about whining is worse than just whining.

 

[mercury]

I read whole threads. Because I really like reading talk about the Flyers, because I really like the team and sport . If very negative posts are coming at a rate of one per page, which is about the rate he, that's unnoticeable; that's blips in a discussion. Unless you're in the thread determined to find those few instances and be mad about it. Then I guess it's all you see.

"It's like two posts!"

*12 absolutely insane, ridiculous, embarrassing posts*

"It's only like one per page!"

You are the Baghdad Bob of this forum.

Likewise.

Whining about whining is worse than just whining.

No, it really isn't. When one side is accurately describing the other, while the other is not, the whining is worse. Not all opinions are created equal.

 

[Juicy Pop]

The sentiment that I get here is that a lot of you won't patch your own roof because you have plans to build a new house in 4 years.

A 4th right now means practically nothing given how early this team is in the rebuild. It's just an extra veteran to make sure the team can play games without scrawling the Phantoms.

I'll care about these lower picks when we actually have another top-2 center and a winger that's on par or better than TK.

 

[Jettany]

Briere over paid and made a weak trade.

Very comparable trades. Well thought out post.

 

[trostol]

You guys do know you can love the team AND hate the way it is being mismanaged and how they put on a bs line of rebuilding right?

Cause I have yet to see or ne told how they are legitimately rebuilding
