Youth on D wasn't the problem. A system devoid of defensive support was the problem. Everyone struggled, including the veterans.

Defensive support was a problem but Id like to differ from the youth, Sanheim and Myers paired together we're overwhelmed by the competition last year. As we saw the results. Lack of experience in the second half of season. Gestion of the game.
I don't know how to tell you this, but the Hayes Era has not only begun rolling - it has rolled right over us and left us covered in fleas.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really not mad about this, cheap as dirt, hopefully he brings something to the ice or off the ice if he's gonna sit in the press box.
Gestion of the Salary cap for next year and this summer offseason moves, in that regard, seem to have been the focus for Fletcher.
And then you evaluate players performances in 2021-2022 for your next contracts and moves.
People need to realise how difficult the job of a general manager is, in regard of managing this cap.

He'll help us get scored on even more.
He'll help hinder York & Zamula.
Maybe he'll pick up 10 PP points too.
That's about it.

In a vacuum it’s fine, I can be about signing a respected veteran desperate to win that we drag along and the guys want to play for. But the defense as is constructed, there doesn’t seem to be a fit. Just because he’s 3rd pair doesn’t make him an ideal partner for Braun. Not the way they use him.

This is Gustafsson 2.0
Literally no difference. Amazing that people don't see that.
The offseason shrouds fans in a dense fog

Brandon Montour had interview today on SuriusXM and he said Yandle was the funniest guy on the team.
That is all the positive things I have to say today

I don’t understand how Ghost fans hate Yandle.
Yandle is an offensive defenseman, like Ghost. Sucks defensively, like Ghost. But is actually better at offense & costs $900k instead of $4.25M. That says nothing of the locker room presence, where Yandle is almost universally loved.

actually a couple differences:
1) Yandle played well in a limited role in Fla last season, Gus struggled
2) Yandle costs $900K, Gus cost $3M

1) He had to be MONUMENTALLY sheltered to not hurt the team and was then promptly scratched in the playoffs.
2) You are correct - the price is a big difference

What about the cost in draft picks? Does that cost factor in?

Unfortunately, there was no way to shelter Gus, he was that bad defensively (though better than Ghost on offense).
If York can't beat out Yandle in TC, he needs to play on a regular basis in the AHL, when a talented young player is NHL ready, it's pretty obvious, when fans have to make excuses for a young player, it usually means he needs more seasoning.

Well there's the fact that Ghost is better than Yandle.

No he’s not. They both suck defensively & Yandle is better offensively. And $3.3M cheaper. Ghost fans should be thrilled they got a similar player at $900k.

Ghost is better than Yandle defensively, more than enough to make up any offensive gap. Ghost is the better player overall.
They are not similar players. Why would "Ghost fans" (whatever those are) be thrilled at a downgrade? As a Flyers fan, I sure don't like seeing that.
But hey, everyone gets to be bestest friendbuddies as they either miss the playoffs or get vaporized early.

Certainly that would be better than the 5.4 million dollar 8th dman we'll be forcing into the top 4, if not top pair given Fletcher's deep fascination with him.

I assume Ghost fans like him for his offense, because no one should like him for his defense.
Well, Yandle is better offensively than Ghost. And $3.3M cheaper.

They are not equal defensively, which seems to be your claim. They are not equal players just because you think they share an archetype. This is a lazier analysis than using wins and losses to judge a skater.
