Buyers

I watched a bit last night LOLOL

I have a 90' movie channel up here. One good twin, one evil twin !!

His name is f***ing "Chad"

 

[Redpath]

A trade with no possible benefit but potential to look stupid.

 

[Danko]

This is that scene when the One Ring to rule them all is starting to take hold on Lil Frodo and he snaps at Samwise Gamgies

 

[hockeynormy]

That's Reddit in general.

as opposed to this place?

 

[Appleyard]

Well, as things stand the Flyers are a worse team after the deadline than before aha... as every move has made the team worse on ice! Not the worst thing for franchises future if I am honest.

Walker gone: Makes team worse
Gurianov maybe playing over anyone not called Deslauriers: Makes team worse
Johnson coming in: Makes team worse

You'll like it even less when they re-sign him

 

[Danko]

what are Erik Johnsons Zone Entries...im sure they make up for the loss of Sean Walker

 

[kudymen]

Suddenly "too early for Bedard" became "too late for Bedard"

 

[GKJ]

Not even playing 14 minutes per night. What's the line he plays 18 tomorrow night?

Haven’t paid attention to Johnson in a while, is he actually worse than Fisto?

 

[DancingPanther]

When was the last time Johnson has been worth a 4th? 2018?

My understanding is that the puck enters the zone, and once in a blue moon, he follows.

He hit the cliff very, very hard ~2 years ago.

he was still a legit #4-5 in 2021-22... last two years he has been awful, like, worse than any Dman who has played for the Flyers this season bad.

If I was being very harsh (but I would like to reinforce this is almost certainly not the case, tbh it is probably just aging)... it looks like Johnson won the cup and is now just cashing cheques he has fell off so much.

Tbf he was still a solid player in the cup winning year... but since he went from a solid #4-5 guy to not NHL calibre.

Johnson has a Cup ring and Gurianov had 9 goals and 17 points in the Star’s 2020 playoff run. They are also large. I’m sure these are the talking points that Charlie, Meltzer and the broadcast team will be stressing.

So the Nic D of defense without the fisticuffs, lovely.

Meh

 

[FlyerNutter]

There are certain things this team does, that very clear illustrate that ass backwards archaic thinking that has persisted in this organization. That those voices, are very much still around.

New era my ass.

 

[BernieParent]

We have obviously entered the brain-dead portion of the TDL where the Flyers FO starts to flex their identity and need to veteran themselves silly.

gurianov can come in and tell stories of the bubble

 

[BiggE]

Might as well sign Kessel next and go all out for being the heaviest team in the NHL.

All Tkachuks: hold our beer…

 

[Beef Invictus]

Declined players are not allowed to simply retire. They must play here first.

 

[Danko]

This is the encouragement we needed:

20 says this leads directly to a Niskanen mention.
