Only Briere would target a D man 3 times as expensive as Staal and 3 times worse.

Attard is better player now and the better option to make the playoffs, this is insane.

all about 2nd chances... RIsto Erik Johnson Staal

yeah but 3 former 1st round picks and all of them are taller 6'3

The defenders last week: the kids will benefit from playoff experience. All is well

The defenders after the deadline: we need these veterans for the playoffs, the kids have no experience.

No kool aid like orange kool aid

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

The Flyers looked at that 2022 Stanley Cup Avalanche team and said we need Erik Johnson.

 

[freakydallas13]

Where did they complain?

You're right, no one here complains about others being negative about this team. My mistake.

MacKinnon is the steak, Makar is the sizzle, and Erik Johnson is the gelatinous fat sitting on the edge of the plate

No, he’s the last shit the cow took before it was slaughtered

 

[tictactoe]

Dumba and 7th for 5th in 2027 is a better deal, no?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Why the f*** would we be spending draft picks?

you know the answer..

 

[pooch]

as opposed to this place?

Both places are insufferable for different reasons.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

What the hell is the point of this?

Unless they are moving another defensemen which isn't likely.

It's stupid moves like this that costs the Flyers.

welcome aboard.. took you long enuf to arrive

The Flyers acquire a pick in a nice move. Just to dump a higher value pick in a pointless one. These guys just can’t stand the idea of net ADDING picks.

 

[mja]

When you can add a guy like EJ to your team, you just gotta do it, amirite?

Proving once again that this organization values total NHL games played above all other stats.

 

[BernieParent]

People have pretty high value for a 4th.
Erik Johnson isn't it, but its not a 1st everyone.

Who's the last Flyers 4th that has hit?

(In case nobody else has said it) Sam Ersson was drafted in the 5th round.

I heard Flyers like the 2024 4th round better than the 2024 5th round.

People here and in the media have a similar strange logic that I have noticed. When they make a questionable move involving a mid round pick its something like "maybe they think they can make another move to replace that pick"

I have no idea where this line of thinking comes from. Why are we connecting multiple trades as if losing value in one is fine as long as you do something else to break even? Do people not know you can come out ahead???

 

[Tripod]

Are they not coming off a road win vs the best team in hockey?

Do they not have the 6th most points in the Eastern Conference and appear likely to earn a playoff berth?

With Walker traded, Risto hurt, Drysdale hurt, Seeler hurt, am I wrong, or is their D:

York-Sanheim
Zamula-Staal
Ginning-Attard

Am I wrong, or is that 3 rookie D, including a guy who's played 2 career NHL games, and one who has played 19. And the guy who has played 19 games is the only RHD.

So, yeah, I understand the idea of adding a RHD as they approach the playoffs, even if I'm meh on the deal.

So you think trading for bad players and wasting picks is ok?

Checks with your track record

 

[VladDrag]

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

Big dump and chaser.

 

[FLYguy3911]

(In case nobody else has said it) Sam Ersson was drafted in the 5th round.

Future Selke winner Noah Cates also.

 

[captainpaxil]

I would be a lot more comfortable with this deal if it was the pick from the hanfin deal.

"You can make deadline trades, but I must warn you, the trades are cursed"

"That's bad..."

"But you'll pick up a free 5th to broker a Hanafin trade!"

"That's good!"

"You'll then trade a 4th for Eric Johnson"

"That's bad..."

"But you'll get an extra first!"

"That's good!"

"It will cost your highest value trade asset, and you have to take on 2 years of another cap dump. Also give up a 5th for some reason. Also Laughton won't be traded and Seeler will be resigned for 4 years, 2 of which have a NTC"

"Can I go now?"

It comes from Fletcher who defended trading all of our 2nd round picks by saying they were far out and plenty of time to recoup them.

Narrator: He did not recoup a single one.

I answered your question. You avoided mine.

And what's the deal with these personal insults today? I can't imagine you treat people this way in real life.

 

[swami24]

Ok, so now Brierre has made his one bad trade. That's out of the way...don't do it ever again.
