So you're mailing me thousands of dollars now right??

the 10000 day war is over....

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

That would be a middle of the pack Franchise. Picking 15 in the draft and reach the playoffs every now and then. Not my goal

I don't necessarily think so, if Flyers land a Giroux or like how they landed Richard's and Carter in the same year they could be a contending team.

I think I'm more partial to the dollars

[Beef Invictus]

If they landed Richards 2 and Carter 2 I could see that going well. One is an efforty grind-boi, the other is a speedy shooty boi. They like that. But a playmakey boi? These days they'd set out to ruin him.

The flyers scouting and develop system is a bit question mark. I dont like our chances with this approach.

couldn't agree more about their scouting AND DRAFT decisions, pics and trading pics

No thanks, I don't have room to store that much

 

[Tripod]

Beef, you win. I’m tired of this fight. You won.

He won it a long time ago. You just refused to see it.

I don't think the Flyer amateur scouting has been awful, middle of the road.
The pro scouting on the other hand . . .
Development has improved, few players who excelled D+1, D+2, SHL, etc. suddenly bombed when they came here. A number have improved.

But "OK" isn't OK. Briere is looking to make changes, which is good. They finally fixed their training/medical group, which was so bad Torts commented on it almost immediately. They do need someone to clear out the deadwood which has hung around b/c the Flyers are a "family." While treating employees well is good policy, coddling underachievers is bad policy. If you want job security, professional sports is probably not the best career choice.

Development has not improved.

Additionally, you always argued there was no problem and scoffed whenever we said it could be improved. Apparently that was incorrect?

Anyone take a peek at the first comment on there?

He's a major tank commander

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I think the amateur scouting has been pretty good. I don’t think the GM has always followed his scouts.

 

[Curufinwe]

The results of Fletcher and Zito since the 2020 off season couldn't be any more different.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

as long as he's available when they play a team with an agitator I'm fine with him being dressed

can't have teams running TK, York, Frost et al without "answering" to someone

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Tremendous for Zito. I'm a Tkachuk fan. Great move by him.

I wonder how many extolling his virtues would have been happy with a Paul Maurice coaching hire. Or trading a first for Chiarot. Or admitting he got fleeced by Chuck.

rather have Deslauriers playing D then YOU

Look at the construct of the top 4/5 teams remaining and see how Edmonton has done... they had four 1st overalls in six years and haven't past the semis.

Tanking hard does not always mean success.

And the Leafs had Matthews. And Marner. And Tavares. And Nylander. And Rielly. And Dubas.

And moron Dave Hakstol has a second-year expansion team with no names a game away from the conference final.

 

[Curufinwe]

Seravalli says Torts is the second most powerful coach in the league behind Sullivan.

We're doomed unless Briere can get rid of him somehow.

"Watch the last handful of games of the season. He was upstairs in the press box, not on the bench, advising Danny Briere on what was happening in real time. I don't know why you would need to that by the way, it makes no sense, I mean what is he possibly telling him in the moment that he couldn't tell him on video."

 

[FLYguy3911]

There's a difference between tanking and incompetence.
