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

[mr4tno]

This whole season has been a microcosm of what it has been like for the last couple of decades being led by Clarke, Holmgren, and the flavor of the month GM crony. Instead of trying to see what a winning strategy is in today's NHL, they embrace the Jim Carrey line from Dumb and Dumber..."so you are saying there is a chance". They have zero foresight. They wasted a call-up and on a career ECHLer, when there would have been plenty of time to evaluate him next year (they could have rewarded him with an NHL deal without calling him up). Hodgson waited this long what is another 5-6 months? To make matters worse, if Konecny was not sick he would have been benched in favor of a another management favorite - Thompson, who was not even good in the CHL way back when. They wasted 2 more call-up slots on players that were never going to play for the Phantoms again. The Phantoms are not making the playoffs and anyone who watches them know they are bigger dumpster file than the Flyers. What are the chances the Flyers ever draft a player like Zegras. Boy is he fun to watch, as opposed to the 200ft snooze-fest the Flyers prefer. I wouldn't be surprised to see Clarke try to propose a rule banning the lacrosse goal....."This is hockey. If you want to do that then play Lacrosse!"......

I wanted him to hit the -100 mark for his career. Seems unlikely now. These are sad times.

Get what you pay for, I suppose

Great that the Flyers are the one to end his streak. Not that anyone should care, but it makes the Flyers look like the bad guys. Love to see it

And the worst healthy scratch in the league.

I can tell you who I am rooting for for the next 22 games. Because f*** Keith Yandle.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

does Kessel pass him this season ?

Wow the lack of hockey awareness by some people is astounding , He was a Veteran in the room to teach the next generation of young stars how to be a pro . He most likely retires at the end of the season with his 1000+ streak and next year Kessel will sign a league minimum deal somewhere and over take his record . Now however every player and up coming youngster will know the Flyers f***ed him for no reason , if they were in a battle for a playoff spot then yes thats one thing , then they should have cut his nuts 2 weeks ago when he could still finish ahead of Kessel and retire but they didn't . This is a classless move that everybody will remember for a very long time .

This isnt a charity, Yandle f***ing sucks, and none of us give a shit. He should have been benched 60 games ago before he even reached his meaningless record. They owe him no further favors.

Now take a f***ing hike.

Go whine in your forum thx

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

He didn't make it to 1000 games. This brings me incredible joy.

I was always suspicious of Kevin Weekes and today he confirmed he's an idiot. "Odd decision to sit the highly respected veteran"? Go f*** yourself.

Ah yeah, we totally want a guy that actively avoids contact to preserve his bullshit streak to teach the next generation that it’s me over we.

He can be a model to them at practice and in the locker room if he’s that great of a guy.

f***ed him over from what? Allowing him to play all season and set his bullshit record? Oh wait, they did that. If he wanted to stay in the lineup he could have simply played at an NHL level.

How many Flyers games have you watched this season? Have you seen the level at which this man is performing?

f*** Keith Yandle.

The classless move was subjecting fans of the Philadelphia Flyers to the worst defenseman in the NHL for every game of the season to this point.

No one outside of Keith Yandle's friends and family could care less about his streak. He's a terrible hockey player in 2022 and should have been benched months ago.

"Classless move that everybody will remember for a long time"... lollllllzzzzzzzzz

 

[deadhead]

Yandle will barely play the rest of the season, they got him the streak, but from the team's perspective, time to move on, he's not in their future, neither is Connauton.

They'll evaluate Seeler as a LHD and decide whether to offer him a contract for next season, probably a two way deal that pays him 400K if he goes to LHV. He's what you want in a #7th D-man, can fill in for a few games, sit in the press box on road trips and allow real prospects to practice and play everyday in LHV.

The last recall could be used on Zamula (Hogberg is currently injured). They might want to look at Zamula/Attard as a preview for next season.

Sad thing is, you're serious

 

[ajgoal]

Exactly.

It's the thought process that causes things like this that's the major problem. Yandle will be gone soon enough but the idiots making these mistakes will remain and continue to screw the team.

There are people angry with the benching...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Not that I’m going to listen but... I’m sure Spittin Chiclets will handle this well.

Nobody gives a shit about Keith Yandle.

If the Flyers suddenly started becoming a cup contender no one would bat an eye. People like winners in which Keith Yandle and co aren't.

Good. It’s the right thing to do but none of us care that they look bad, that ship has long been sailed
