It’s not so much getting rid of Gostisbehere. He is/was a secondary player not a cornerstone player. So those guys do have shelf life. It’s more the process leading up & after that was absolutely horrendous with no hindsight needed.

You gave up on him in the years leading up to the trade essentially advertising to the entire league you were done with him. So then you forced yourself into a situation where you had to pay for him to leave. Then you used more draft compensation & the cap savings to get out & get a worse defensemen in Ristolainen. You did this awhile the team was on the decline which again wasn’t hard to predict & it blew up completely in their faces.
This is it. End of discussion.

Excuse me what
Yea 50pt defenseman who are above average on defense + outstanding on the PP is definitely a secondary piece on any team duh.

He’s no Zito

Why Zito's not a fit

The Flyers look like they want a candidate with a résumé already deep in general manager experience - a GM that has been there, done that on pulling off big trades and making tough decisions.

"I think you have to look at everything," Flyers president Paul Holmgren said Tuesday. "We're very focused on the trade deadline coming up on Feb. 25 and we think there could be some opportunities out there and, frankly, we don't want to miss out."

Zito doesn't have the track record quite yet as he hasn't held a role higher than AGM.

Not great news that Florida won the division.

I don't think their pick can be lower than 25/26 now right?

The teams that did not qualify for the playoffs the previous season (picks 1–16)….
The teams that made the playoffs in the previous season but did not win either their division in the regular season or play in the Conference Finals (picks 17–24 up to 28)….
The teams that won their divisions in the previous season but did not play in the Conference Finals (potentially picks 25–28)….
The teams that lose in Conference Finals (picks 29 and 30)….
The team that was the runner-up in the Stanley Cup Finals (pick 31)
The team that won the Stanley Cup in the previous season (pick 32)
