Jesus people have some an irrational vendetta against Torts on this siteIts fascinating to think Flyers may move Farabee and Frost to appease f***ing Torts
Farabee was pretty terrible the last half of the season and didn’t show the progression Danny B was hoping for.As a Canes fan with no attachment involved I’ll say that Farabee is probably only of the least likely to be moved players in the NHL at this moment and Kakko + Rangers 1st wouldn’t get it done.
Farabee being only a year older than Kakko has shown the exact kind of development and improvement year on year that you expect and hope from your draft picks, compared to one of the most high profile busts in recent history.
Farabee is signed to a deal you would already call fair and will undoubtedly become a bargain deal as the cap keeps increasing and especially if he can reach another level or two. You also have to look at Philly’s cap issues this year and the general make up of their squad and think about how teams like to build for the future to consider Farabee is a piece you keep and build around.
Johansen, Atkinson, and Ristolainen are eating up 15 mil in cap this year, with the former two coming off the books next summer. Not sure about Risto’s LTIR status but if he’s deemed fit he’s on the books 3 more years at 5. If the Flyers are trying to bring in younger pieces to build for the future they’re much more likely to deal Konecny either this summer or at the deadline given he’s in his last year and would bring back a decent package for a team looking to build younger.
Flyer’s fans can correct me if I misspoke on anything here.

Combined with a glut of wingers (TK, Michkov, Tippett, Foerster are the top 6 wingers) and the needs we have, he’s been an almost sure thing to be moved this offseason for a while now. Every reliable beat reporter has said that.
Funny enough, the Rangers have way more LW than we do RW so we'd be experiencing similar roster balance issues in such a swap.We don't have a glut of wingers, we have a glut of right wingers, and moving Farabee, the one of the bunch who is actually a LW, doesn't alleviate the actual glut in the slightest. I'm not opposed to moving him, but roster balance isn't the reason why moving him makes sense.
NO NO NO
Kakko is pretty responsible. I guess Torts would yell at him for not shooting the puck or driving it to the net, but I'm not sure he'd be blasted by Torts for his play without the puck.Everyone, try to picture Kakko getting yelled at by Torts. Is that a relationship that is being given the best chance to succeed?

He had three less points than Tippett who apparently showed enough “progression” to get a massive extension.Farabee was pretty terrible the last half of the season and didn’t show the progression Danny B was hoping for.

Show me where Torts touched youHe had three less points than Tippett who apparently showed enough “progression” to get a massive extension.
It’s really comical that you go round defending Torts like he’s your daddy whenever it’s pointed out that he’s doing what he always does - picking fights with good players, forcing them to be moved at a discount. Not to mention the fact his league worst by a long distance powerplay is depressing all the forwards’ stats, further lowering their value.
