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

When did Bunnaman and Rubstov become assets?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Any truth to the rumors that G tied Fletch to a chair at gunpoint and forced him to trade him to Florida or else? Poor guy.

When this guy is critical lol

Congrats to Bunny on getting the f*** out of this trash organization.

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.

Ahhh there it is

Exactly. Some on here are just having a tantrum. Nothing you can do but let them.

G is still a Flyer if I’m GM.

My only hope now is clearing out all these contracts something good is going to finally happen

Any NHL or AHL contract is an asset

 

[flyershockey]

Color me shocked that Therien, Seravalli, and Metzler are the media members immediately defending the Flyers..

 

[Striiker]

You don’t think he has sources on the Avs , or other teams ? He could refute that very quickly

Just don’t see Frank making that claim

Multiple sources from multiple teams were all saying they were in trade talks with the Flyers for Giroux. Remember the Avs offers, turning down the Bruins and Rags, and the other teams involved?

This one person is the ONLY source saying that wasn't true. How convenient that everyone else is lying, except the source inside the team that needs the propaganda to be spread that it's not their fault.

That guy is a Risto-blowing moron.

 

[flyerslducks]

never been so disappointed in this team before in my life. We totally gave up everything these last two years and are heading down a direction of.....what exactly? We have been mediocre for over a decade and have no identity or vision of what we are trying to accomplish. I get we couldn't get much in this deal but the fact that we are even in this spot f***ing sucks.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The idea that you are somehow "above" someone else on here intellectually, emotionally, or in any other way is seriously f***ing hilarious

 

[CerpinTaxt]

Color me skeptical that G would only waive for the Florida Panthers. Yeah I'm sure that was his preferred destination in the end, but from the jump? C'mon.

Yea I wonder why just Florida? I mean you dont have to uproot your family if the plan is to come back, so I guess G isnt coming back. I hope he states in an interview that he thinks that the whole Flyers' brass is dog shit

 

[deadhead]

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."

It takes two to tango, if Zito knows G turned down Colorado, he holds all the cards.

Tippett has value, maybe not so much for the Flyers and their surplus of RWs, but he's still a real asset, he may have struggled in the NHL this year, but looked solid as a rookie and in the playoffs. He's not Bunnaman. He'd be considered at least as valuable as Frost, probably more.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Andrew Copp will get a bigger return than Giroux

 

[Garbage Goal]

This is as bad a value as someone could possibly get. Even with the circumstances surrounding him, bare minimum you should be able to get a 1st this year and not have to give up any picks or prospects of your own. As a base.

He not only gave up a depth pick and two prospects of his own, the 1st is in 2024. Literally as far out as it possibly could be. With Giroux at 50% retained.

I think a 2023 1st+decent prospect (like, one with good upside as at least a middle six or 2nd pairing D) would've been the minimum return I could hand wave at and say, "well, circumstances might not have allowed for any more than that".

This sucks. They paid more for Risto and they probably had the best piece any contending team could acquire.

Can you actually even refute their "defenses?" Perhaps they're actually correct this time around

Probably easier to get back and forth to Philly, if his wife and son stay in Philly, then he's a rental.

He said it's what he was told. Not that it was true.

I guarantee you that bottom bitch didn't even try to talk Giroux into Colorado. Such a useless c***.

 

[dragonoffrost]

And the slurpfest begins

 

[Magua]

Chuck Fletcher had no choice like Butch Cassidy had no choice but to be gunned down by the Bolivian army. But with warm milk and no charisma.

 

[Curufinwe]

Seravalli is a national guy now. Has been for a while.Not sure why you think he’d need to be defending the Flyers.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

G is still a Flyer if I’m GM.

G is still a Flyer and will be for life if anyone even a quarter competent is at the helm right now.
