Bunnaman and Rubtsov were dumped to open up two contract slots this year. No loss.
It's about as good as you could get once it was known G preferred Florida, Chuck wasn't going to screw G for a better deal.
If Chuck could have shopped G, he might have gotten the kind of deal people think should have been the price, but that wasn't possible.

Tippett has value, Flyers might play him for a year, see how Foerster progresses, then flip Tippett.

Wheeler 2021:

3. Owen Tippett, RW/LW, 21 (Florida Panthers)

Tippett’s going to drive people crazy and either never put it together or eventually figure it all out and be a really, really good NHL goal-scorer. There’s a great deal of power to his shot, his skating, and his overall strength on the puck, which are complemented by quick hands. He’s got the natural gifts needed to score and create chances inside the offensive zone. But a reliance on a playmaker to get him the puck and wavering consistency have thus far held him back from realizing his potential as a middle-six scorer and power play threat.
STFU

Release Bunny and Ruby for free. YOU LOOSE NOTHING!!!

AND SPARE ME WITH THE f***ING SCOUTING REPORTS FROM f***ING STUPID BS PEOPLE!!!

He isn't a better prospect than Frost.

And what makes Frost a better prospect?
Tippett went #10, Frost #27 in the same draft.
Tippett had a solid 2020-21, struggled this season before being sent down, Frost missed 2020-21, struggled this season before being sent down.
Tippett In 12 AHL games this year, 4-12 16 at ES.

Both are "B" prospects with upside, neither is a proven commodity.

I don't think Bunny and Ruby had any trade value, so whatever with that. It is a underwhelming return. But I just don't know what else could of been added with Giroux only wanting to go Florida. I just have zero reason to care anymore about this team.
Threw Bunny and Ruby contracts in so they can make waiver claims? How soon before Cuck puts Tippett on waivers too?

There is no loss with Rubstov and Bunnaman.....sorry Magua.....I seen them play with the Phantoms; I will take a nobody like Hodgson over Rubstov or Bunnaman any day of the week.

Also hate to tell you all....... Tippett is a LWer which the Flyers need.....as well as centers and D-men. Whether he pans out is something that has to play out.

And if Allison's play can rub off on Tippett.....well.....ok
can allison even play? dude is hurt all the damn time

Why did they send Foerster down to CHL only to send out Bunny and Rubtsov?

I know absolutely nothing about Tippett so I’ll wait to pass judgement. I’m f***ing pissed that we lost Giroux in the first place. I thought he was going to play his entire career here

He’s a Pit fan

If the Flyers are putting out fake info, other insiders will hear differently and report that.

That seems presumptuous.

As for Seravalli, insider and hack are not mutually exclusive...

Give me a break. If Meltzer tweeting excuses makes him a lapdog in your eyes, what would Chuck Fletcher be if he made the same excuse publicly?

Actually the fact that he's entering our development process and will become worse is a major problem.

So is the issue that Fletcher targeted him as you originally said? Or is the issue that he won't do well here because of our development process?

"Tippett's just......what's the polite way to say this......dumber than a box of rocks.......I'll keep my eyes glued to him on shifts, and I have zero clue what he's doing 90% of the time. He just wanders around aimlessly out of position, looking like he has no idea where to go or what to do off the puck....and in the offensive zone too! It's not even just laziness and disinterest, and he has that to. He would scare me to take that high. I'm sure he'll find a way to score off the rush or on nasty snipes or on the PP, but holy smokes, he is just not a bright hockey player."


Great post!

Tippett is a winger, not a center, who doesn't create. Frost does. Frost has much better IQ.

Don't worry, you'll eventually be forced to realize this even though you won't admit it and you'll argue to defend bad management.

Why do you think bad management is good?

I haven’t said a single word about them and don’t care about them……? They‘re just contract slots.
