Confirmed with Link: Keith Yandle Signs One Year Deal With Flyers ($900K W/ NTC)

[Embiid]

Thats Montreal, they sign them after us...always

I wish they got Lecavalier before Holmgren got him and he became a press box mantle piece.

 

[Rebels57]

At the price he signed for it’s a no brainer. No one is getting blocked, the simple fact is if a rookie is good enough he plays his way in, injuries happen and the worst thing coaches do is rush young defenceman before they are ready. If he isn’t he plays huge minutes in the AHL which benefits him in the long run. Been a fan of this team since the 80s and haven’t seen anyone blocked in years.

Everyone is saying Jets got better with Schmidt and Dillon. No ones raving that Samberg and Heinola got blocked. The fact is the Jetsdid get better with the moves.

No, that's not how it works here.

Also, Yandle doesn't make us better because Yandle is washed up. He needs to be heavily sheltered to not be a total liability.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

We are a team. A Cevin Hayes team.

Ok i admit i was wrong. I thought Fletch will sign his buddies for life from Minnesota.

It has come way worse. He has signed f***ING YANDLE because he cant trust any rookie ever!!!


We´re more f***ed as i ever could have imagine!! and my imagination was rly rly bad before!!!!

 

[GKJ]

iam actually whining while iam laughing!! This franchise is the worst joke in the whole league. Maybe in NA Sports!

This is not the Oilers board

 

[Ironmanrulez]

This is not the Oilers board

the oilers manage to acquire 2 of the best PLAYERS in the NHL over the last 10 years! What have we done other than Couts in the last 10 YEARS?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

“Change” “Fit” “Culture” “Off Ice”. I always love these descriptions as selling points when a bevy of moves are made.

Not be so bad to get 2 generational players and fail to figure out to to put a team around them

No lol, reading this board overreaction is way worst

 

[Rebels57]

At least they get 20 fun minutes a game when McDavid and Drai are on the ice.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The Oilers are definitely worse but that doesn’t make me feel better about the Flyers current situation. They’re both poorly ran even if one is more than the other.

 

[TB87]

“One of the best defensive groups in the NHL.”


I would like to smoke whatever he has

 

[flyersfromquebec]

And what have they win since? Did they even went to the finals? Something?

 

[Rebels57]

Well, we're probably a better team right now.

Listen I don't like how Fletch has done all of this, but I think it's been positive so far. He's probably got 2 more moves he needs to make (backup G and 3C) and then we can probably make final judgment.

That's honestly very debateable. It'll be interesting.

 

[wankstifier]

Really hoping Vigneault serves up his signature brand of stink this season. This shit can’t last much longer

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

That's honestly very debateable. It'll be interesting.

Ellis is about the only move I say we without a doubt improved with even if there is some risk there with him & his age/contract.

The rest are essentially meh or flat out horrible falling under that change for the sake of change umbrella.

The new AMAC with 43 straight starts he sets a new nhl record I believe for something. Winning isn’t for the flyers. Granting this is

If I've learned anything, it's that it can last a lot longer. And it will. Because that is how things are for us.

Yep. That's the other factor that is being ignore. They arent going to scratch him so he can get his pointless iron man record. Imagine think York will play over him

 

[Embiid]

How long did Hak last after it was clear to most of us that he was the wrong guy for the job?

Yeah rest my case...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Eichel went to BU. That’s a no-no.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

That's honestly very debateable. It'll be interesting.

I think we're better, but I'll wait until FA is over and who we grab before I put a stake in the ground over it.

 

[landsbergfan]

Is Hayes friends with any good goalies he can convince to sign here for bargain rates

If he is friends with one, it’s definitely Duncan

 

[Rebels57]

And none of it matters anyway if AV doesnt change.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

And none of it matters anyway if AV doesnt change.

Eh it matters of course, but it certainly gets dimmed pretty hard if AV doesn't change. Rangers fans have been pretty vocal that AV didn't use Yandle right years ago, so that doesn't inspire me much now.

 

[GKJ]

I remember when this guy was a prized commodity....now he is just a commode.

Whatever....as long as he gets managed minutes and AV doesn't think he is Brian Leetch.

Yandle’s 103 games in New York, all under AV, he had o-zone start percentages that were both in the 70’s. In the playoffs it went up. He wasn’t under any false illusions about how to use him.
