That’s the worst part, they are shit people that have no issue tanking a team.

I know everybody hates Thompson because of his little twitter rant, but there's no reason to believe that Yandle is a bad person. He's just a player who shouldn't be playing anymore.

Valuing preservation of an empty and asterisked streak over actual quality of play and helping the team tells me he's pretty shitty and selfish and is eager to put himself over the team.

I think he's just a p***y. There are other players like him in the league who are afraid of contact. Difference is that he's 35 and cooked.

I have never seen anyone, including Yandle, dodge contact as flagrantly as he does. It's all to keep the streak alive, it's all he cares about and he doesn't care how it impacts the team. It's like when Bryzgalov ducked that puck, except it happens nightly.

Yandle might not be a shitty person but he's certainly a selfish one. That's why he dodges contact and bails out of plays so that he can stay in the lineup and keep his stupid f***ing streak going. That tells me the streak is more important to him than making plays and helping the team win games. So what i'm saying is that he's a shitty person.

I think the fact that he’s long time friends with Hayes is probably a strike against his character.
And we have had Chris vandevelde, Brandon Manning, Andrew Macdonald, zac Ronaldo see the ice for us

Here's the reality: Yandle knows Yandle is not an NHL player, and Fletcher knows Yandle is not an NHL player. When it comes to someone like Nate Thompson, I can see them all inside their own asses enjoying the fumes, but Yandle is so obvious that everyone involved knows. He's arguably the worst defenseman in the league by every measure, and he doesn't even have the grit and defense bullshit to fall back on.
But Yandle has nothing to lose going for his Sunday strolls on the rink and adding to his record. Maybe he's a funny guy, but he's a selfish teammate. Meanwhile, Fletcher is so impotent he allows a $900k player (with a full NTC he gave......unprecedented stuff) to control his handling of the team. It steals usage and game money from younger, deserving players; it's a gigantic turn-off to fans. Yandle did not play 8 years here, where you feel indebted. He's a mercenary hire. Fletcher is content with being a doormat when it comes to personal relationships. They already got him his asterisk record, and that was their bargain, but there's no reason the conversation can't be had now.

The only way he comes out of the Flyers lineup this season is if he's moved to a contender for a 7th or Future Considerations. That I can see happening since they are too scared to bench him.
Yandle won't waive his NMC because he knows no other team out there has a more bottom GM willing to help protect his streak.

At this point play him 25 mins per night, embarrass him even more.

I am shocked he is still getting PP1 and 6v5 and 5v3 time.
Ironically, I think the two best PP defensemen they have sit and watch from the bench.

Their continued usage of him in high leverage situations indicates they may actually believe he's decent. They don't have to use him like that and they do.
They might be incomprehensibly incompetent

This is not aggressive enough. Every shift. Play him for 60 minutes until he crumbles or refuses to play.

Yandle is such a good teammate that he is working to ensure that Rasmus doesn't have to live with that indignity of having the worst +/- in the most recent full season.
That's f**kin' leadership boys. The sooner you learn to recognize that, the happier you'll be when they resign Yandle.

Yandle is a medical miracle. I've never known a horse to keep running after it was turned into glue.
Seriously, the fact that he didn't retire the night he broke the streak to take a coaching job with Eisbären Berlin or some crap is a joke.

'It's not for a couple of weeks, right?' Yandle may have decision at trade deadline
Maybe there's an NHL GM dumb enough to offer a 7th -- lord knows I don't want to see him anymore -- but this is a brutally fluffy fluff piece courtesy of fluff master, Jordan Hall. As if this guy deserves to move to a playoff team, or that he would be remotely playable. After being the worst defenseman in the league, holding weak-willed Fletcher over a barrel to get his record, it would be hilarious to see him do the hockey equivalent of f*** and running.

Why is this selfish scumbag who's just driving through on his way to retirement or a muchesser league being treated like a long-term franchise hero.
What a loser culture this team has.
