Now that Giroux isn't here, there are zero reasons why any of you sad f***s in attendance should't be covering the ice with jerseys.

He'll I may go to a game just to throw the jersey on the ice.

 

[Beef Invictus]

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.

What brand of polish do you prefer for shining feces?

Why do you think bad management is good?

How do you end up selling a player and giving up more assets than you're getting back?

Charles Fletcher

 

[Flyerfan18]

Fletcher did good in a tough situation You are dealing with a NMC and a player that wants to go to Florida. Now flip that first to Minnesota for MCBsin.

Zito gets fired unless he does more. That’s a terrible team for playoff hockey.

Colorado get it. Got Manson and are going to get Copp.

Don’t think Florida can resign Giroux so maybe he comes back.

And we got rid of two useless contracts to boot

 

[Striiker]

Go Panthers, go Clode always and forever. I’ll watch more Panthers games than Flyers. Not hard when that number is 0. Chuck Fletcher and the Crony Army decimated this team. Just when you can think it can't hurt more.

This really is the only reason I'm not angry.

Giroux getting what he wants, potentially winning a cup, and getting to watch him on a legit team for the first time since 2010 is the win here.

I expected Fletcher to screw us, so that impact is lessened. If G's happy, I'm happy.

 

[deadhead]

Giroux (50%) + Ghost + Voracek + Rubstov + Hagg + 1st + 2nd + 2nd + 5th

For Owen Tippett + Ristolainen + Atkinson + 1st + 3rd

Trust the Process

Of course, If G comes back, it's 2 months of G when he would just impede our race for a high draft pick.

 

[bennysflyers16]

What do you mean nothing. 5 more years of Fisto, the hits, and Columbus Hockey Dads irrational takes! Who needs a Stanley Cup anyway?

Stanley Cup
Loagan Stanley come on down

 

[BillDineen]

Maybe 24 1rst is better because Chuck will be fired by then?

 

[flyerslducks]

How do you end up selling a player and giving up more assets than you're getting back?

my brain hurts even reading that. This is honestly hilarious haha

 

[Strawberry Fields]

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

 

[Beef Invictus]

Not sure what you all expected when he was only willing to go to one team.

Curious why they’re unloading contracts. More trades coming?

I expected them to get a prospect with actual upside and not include a draft pick of any kind on top of full retention

 

[TCTC]

A 1st in 2024 is worth a lot less than a 1st in 2022.

Waiting for the protections that Chuck negotiated.

Do we even know what the 2024 draft looks like? Could be a strong draft for all we know. Of course you'd rather have a 1st this year, but at the very least that's an asset that can be used later.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Konecny is gone this summer, don't worry. Well trade him for Zach Whitecloud.

Konecny should be gone by the weekend!

 

[deadhead]

Therrien is a dinosaur, but he’s presenting this as inside info so maybe he’s a dino with a source.

GIven what was rumoured from Colorado, G refusing to go there is the only explanation for taking the Florida offer.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

It's so unfair to be a flyers fan

 

[Magua]

Of course, If G comes back, it's 2 months of G when he would just impede our race for a high draft pick.

Thoughts?

"Seems Chuck doesn't want Tippett.
Maybe people should refrain from hot takes until there's more information available?
When the dust clears, there will be plenty of time for criticism."

 

[bennysflyers16]

There you go, no other team was ever an option.

For f***s sakes, Chuck maybe didn’t get shredded

 

[deadhead]

Do we even know what the 2024 draft looks like? Could be a strong draft for all we know. Of course you'd rather have a 1st this year, but at the very least that's an asset that can be used later.

Plus, Florida in two years might be worse than in 2022 and 2023.

 

[Starat327]

Maybe 24 1rst is better because Chuck will be fired by then?

Chuck didn't get a 24 first so he could dragt someone with it.

He's adding it to JVR for future considerations this summer.

 

[BillDineen]

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

 

[FLYguy3911]

The excuses are out quickly.

I’m throwing in the towel , back to your corner, you can’t kick when your opponent is down.

 

[flyerslducks]

hopefully we tank next year and get bedaard. Someone tell ellis and couts to take another year off

 

[Magua]

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

Back to reality. Back to contention.

 

[Starat327]

Oh, definitely. As well as Rubstov. They were both definitely just "let me embarrassing him a little more" asks.
