Out of all of the organizations this certainly is one of them.

Wait, Tippy Canoe is actually a LW ?

First good news of the day

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Hate this more than the Gags trade. At least the Flyers weren't total shit back then.

Ive never saw a franchise that is worse with selling Franchise definition players! We cant do anything right!

 

[Beef Invictus]

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?

Yes, the issue is that he targeted the lesser prospect from the start because he has to chase size over skill.

The issue is also that he's going to be made worse too.

The whole thing is an issue.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

It’s a bad return and I hate chuckles too, but im not real sure what you wanted him to do. A rental who only wanted to go to one team. You have to do right by G and give him a chance at a cup. We didn’t really have a choice but to take whatever Florida was offering.

Carter + Richards wound up alright all things considered, if you consider them franchise defining talents. Imagine Fletch making those trades?

 

[trostol]

hell i would have written off the 1st if it wasnt Tippett..should have insisted on the Sandwich guy

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

hes a flyer fan, right? Also, does anyone know if the pick is protected?

He’s a Penguins fan. So yeah he’s enjoying this season & especially these last few weeks with the Flyers.

 

[flyershockey]

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?

At the very least, it would be honest. Instead, they chose to float it out there to beats more than willing to do a favor to stay in the good graces of the mothership.

It still doesn't excuse the piss poor base level performance of the trade. If you can't sell Giroux as an absolute HR to a playoff roster, then you have no business serving as one of only thirty people in the world to hold a job at that level.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Have to like Zito squeezed him for a 5th just because he could

Its Zitos thx for not employed him! He is playing with us! He deserve this! I root for him and the Panthers! Go Bob, Go Giroux!

RIP FLYERS!

 

[flyerslducks]

at least we did giroux right and gave him to a contender. We did voracek and ghost f***ing dirty

 

[Redpath]

Yes, the issue is that he targeted the lesser prospect from the start because he has to chase size over skill.

The issue is also that he's going to be made worse too.

The whole thing is an issue.

Was Tippett targeted? Or was he scouted because he was the best that Florida was offering?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Friedman on HNIC just confirmed it was only Florida.

 

[Tripod]

I’m no expert on him, but his AHL numbers are very good. 60 points in 63 games. If I can be hopeful for Allison to be a top 6 NHL winger I can also hope for Tippy to be one.

That's the hope.

The flipside is that the scoring has not translated to the NHL when used beside Barkov on one lime, or Hubberdeau on the other.

If he can't produce in their offense with those players, will he really do it with Hayes, Couts, Laughton or Frost?

 

[Redpath]

Friedman on HNIC just confirmed it was only Florida.

Noted Flyers shill. Is Friedman on Comcast's payroll?

Wait, Tippy Canoe is actually a LW ?

First good news of the day

That is because he was viewed as a shooter in FLA, here he will have to focus on his d zone game and be on the right side.

 

[Curufinwe]

Contenders didn’t want or couldn’t afford those contracts. Both of them seem to be happy in their new homes.

 

[Diaper Mask Bandits]

so, its essentially a late first round pick for Giroux

whatever, wish they'd spare no expense on improving scouting and player development

 

[Curufinwe]

That is because he was viewed as a shooter in FLA, here he will have to focus on his d zone game and be on the right side.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I would of been satisfied with anyone but Tippett. But this ugh.


I’m sad guys.

Here's the thing. We were already doomed. This doesn't change anything. No reason to be sadder than we already were.

At the very least, it would be honest. Instead, they chose to float it out there to beats more than willing to do a favor to stay in the good graces of the mothership.

It's been an hour. Of course the beats are going to report on a notable trade first before the organization makes a comment. Tweeting something factual does not mean that is is being "floated out there"

If you thing this was a piss poor base level, you have unrealistic expectations given the circumstances.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Remember when we thought the offer was Samoskevich, Denisenko, 2nd?

Back to reality. Back to contention.

it was so strange when i watch the highlights of Samoskevich. It was a video of anti Fletcher, Flahr, Flyers hockey! Now iam satisfied. Was really in fear we get a valuable player back in this trade!

 

[trostol]

too many apologists on twitter atm

 

[Ghosts Beer]

So, all Boston had to give up for Hall was a 2nd.

Flyers get a 1st, 3rd, & Tippett for their NMC player.

 

[flyerslducks]

Contenders didn’t want or couldn’t afford those contracts. Both of them seem to be happy in their new homes.

id rather have kept them and then traded them when teams could afford the contracts. We arent contedning any time soon. We should've done what the ducks/kings did. Wait the contracts out and then trade them to start the rebuild/retool. Instead, we will have to see what fletcher wants to do with his "retool" to try and win when we are so behind top teams.
